Saturday-Sunday, June 25-26

Saturday....beautiful sunny, cool day in Milwaukee and just perfect for a wedding.    After breakfast, I walked on a nice path around our Hilton Garden Inn (huge) and beyond.    We got all gussied up for the wedding and off we went to St. Mary's in Menominee Falls.    It was a lovely ceremony presided by Tom's Uncle David who is the Bishop of Bismarck, ND.

The newlyweds

 

Mark and I are Tom's Godparents and did the readings and had a nice corsage and boutonniere.    The reception was in the Grand Ballroom where we were staying which makes it so nice.     Between the wedding and reception, we celebrated our niece, Megan's college graduation from Ohio State (last of the 38 grandchildren to graduate)!     Tom and Beth and Aunt Joan provided all kinds of delicious fruits, veggies, dip, cheese, crackers and a big chocolate chip cookie cake.

Cocktails/hors d'oeuvres were served from 5-6 and then a lovely dinner followed by some great toasts (happy and teary-eyed) and then dancing.   Mark and I were the next to last couple on the dance floor for the anniversary dance (one couple was married 50 years).   The DJ was amazed that the floor was packed at 25 years and still 11 couples at 40 years.

 

Just love these Chamberlain family weddings - so fun to all be together!

 

Sunday...Up at 6 AM and on the road by 6:40 with lots of stops.....met Bob and Linda in Mendota for

quick visit, then to Gridley to pick up Daisy and Toad and another short visit with Barb and Roger.    Mark drove Miss Daisy towing Toad and I drove the rental car.    Stopped at Menards to pick up some supplies for Philip.    I returned the rental after filling with gas and Anne, Patrick and boys  picked me up at the airport.    We met Mark at CJ's for late breakfast/lunch and so fun to sit and yak with them.    Finally around 2ish we were on our way heading east.

Tonight we are in North Bend, Ohio at the Indian Springs Campground.   We were at this same campground on Halloween, 2015.

 

We went to Maverick's Firewater Grill in Glendale, IN (we are right on the Indiana/Ohio border) for late supper - good!   And now oh-so-ready-for-bed!

 

Have a great week!
