When the recent weekend of snow arrived, there was some apprehension, "What would the next weekend bring?" (After all, it still was March and not officially Spring yet.) But the following weekend could not have been better weather wise, cool, but clear, for the wedding of Garret Lipford and Brittany McManus. It was held at The Barn at Hat Creek Ranch, just out of Summers. To fully report of the beauty of the ceremony would take more room then is possible. To prove the popularity of the couple, there was more than a barn full attending. Besides the pews hauled in for the event, the lawn full of chairs, many hay bales were covered with hand-made quilts for seating.
With congratulations and best wishes for the bride and groom, the dinner was enjoyed, then the young and young at heart enjoyed dancing, while others decorated their car.
They left the next day for a cruise before returning to school and their jobs.
I received a surprise phone call from Kathy Farmer. We did a lot of reminiscing, as she and my daughter Anna were close friends and classmates in school. Kathy was one of "my girls," a real sweetheart. She seems to be getting along fine.
As I write this Wednesday evening, I'm enjoying again (in thoughts) a visit from grandson Craig and Sheryl Roy and their children, Addison, Mason, and Brooklyn. The children grow up too fast, but spread such joy in the meantime. They are on spring break, and Craig took the week's vacation, and Sheryl is a stay at home mom, so they were taking time to visit.
Happy birthday to Derek Cheatham, Mitchell Laycox, Kathy Britt, Debbie Butler, Lonnie Cantrell, Burl Carter, Raylene Porter, Garret Lipford, Ronnie Cochran.
Happy anniversary to Keith and Cindy Lyons, Chris and Kerry Bradley.
Happy years, all!
