Little Packages and Commercial Ice Fishing
The end of 2019 brought us a little present. Our 2nd grandson was born! Marrion Kenneth was born on December 28, 2019 weighing 8 pounds 2 1/2 ounces and measuring 20 1/2″ long. Born to our oldest son Seth and his wife, Jessica, Marrion Kenneth was named after Seth’s grandpa who just happens to be my dad. My father is a very special man and at this point there are 4 grandchildren (including great-grandchildren) that bear some part of his name. Seth’s middle name is also Marrion! Hope is quite happy with little brother. We got to go visit and meet little Marrion. It was a nice time! While we…

The Reception – Part III
The wedding was over, some light refreshments had been offered to our guests, pictures taken and it was time for the reception to begin. While the wedding was going on the people we had hired to serve the food were setting up the tables. Unfortunately, it was too breezy to do it any earlier; we were so thankful that they could do it. Some of the family stepped in and showed them how to set up each table so that was a blessing. We just couldn’t have done everything without the help of different ones! May they be blessed! If you would like to hear some of their playing, you…

Wedding Elegance in a Rustic Setting – Part I
The morning of the wedding dawned with all the hustle and bustle of things that could only be done last minute but as I mentioned in this post Serenity and I were staying downstairs together, so we shared a very special moment that morning when I gave her a little note from me along with a bracelet that said “Faith”. We then hurried to the field to do some set-up. One funny story that happened was the table that we had painted (you can see the girls working on it here) was set up the day before in the field and crazily enough a swarm of bees had taken up…

Last Few Days of Wedding Preparations
It was less then a week before the wedding and the weather was bad. It was cold and we even had snow flurries. We had to bundle up in our jackets to work outside. The worst day we looked out side and saw this… We’ve seen rainbows in our valley but not for a long time and this one was directly over where the wedding was going to be in just 5 days. How remarkable! A coincidence? I’m not so sure. The weather warmed up from that day and the day of the wedding it was the warmest day in the whole week. Typically there would be no cause to…
