Nana and Grandpa Visit in June

I finished six quilts in June. Here is a pattern called "Stack and Whack" or Kalidescope. The roses on the left are Rosalia's graduation quilt and the one on the right is Shane's baby quilt. Jessica requested black, white, and red. This one should have Shane's little eyes twirling!

My parents visited in June on Father's Day and my mother helped me plant flowers. It was nice to have them come over for a short, but relaxing visit.

This is one of the Father's Day shirts I gave Daddy. He received several compliments.

Dad's New Car

Here is the new Buick. I think Ted is having fun with all his new gadgets.

Memorial Day, etc.

Nana's garden at Eagle's Trace.

A quick visit with David, Haley, and Emily.

I went to graduattion and saw Marlana Ford my former Student Body President. This is for you, Rosalia.

This was taken in Colorado, recognize the blue tie?

Mr. and Mrs. Taber Cope

Wedding Reception in Colorado Springs

I made sure to get a picture this time with Rebecca.

Here are all of Taber's family with bride and groom. Their walls had a nice texture on them, not like our cinder blocks. The reception area was just right with a cozy atmosphere. We did have a receiving line for the first hour. At the end Taber's dad sang a song from Camelot "How to Handle a Woman" while his grandmother played the piano. We appreciated the privilege of hearing him sing.

TJ drove us down to Colorado Springs and came with us to the reception representing Rebecca's siblings. It was a fast weekend. we got up at 2:15 on Saturday morning and arrived in Denver at 9:30. We went down to Colorado Springs around 2:00 to Taber's home and visited and then went to the reception and back to Denver. We went to church with TJ and then flew back to LA at 4PM.

The Copes hosted a very nice reception in their chapel. They had Japanese lanterns which I didn't get a picture of in blue,chocolate, and white. The flowers were peach colored and still not what Rebecca thought she wanted, but I think that both receptions had beautiful flowers and she was happy.

Taber's sister found blue ties for the groom, best man and the fathers, so that the colors were well represented.

Although we didn't have a dance Rebecca and her Dad danced to one of the songs being played as background music before the reception began.

Family and friends.

I have more pictures, but I only had time to upload these. I should probably do a slide show, but I've forgotten how to do that right now. We had a great time and we really fit lots of activities (eight) in just three short days!
