The weekend after the reunion (okay so now the underlining has gone away...I don't get it but I'm grateful) I had a big wedding floral contract at the Bennett Valley golf course. It took me three days to put all the flowers together as well as working half of Friday. I was really tired and very grateful for Richard's help with the set up as it took two trips over there to do it and I couldn't have done it without him. The bride and her family loved it all... so much in fact that I'm doing her sister's wedding in November.
Over the fourth of July weekend we had a joint garage sale with Brook and Dave and Carter on Friday (the 4th) and Saturday the 5th. We had fun rotating in and out of the house attending to Carter and trying to get a bite to eat when hungry and tending the sale. In the long run it was successful, Brook and Dave made a little over $300 and we made just under $100 but we got some great thing s from them in the process too. The remainder of the stuff we aren't selling on Craig's list went right over to the DI truck in our church parking lot. How very convenient!!
I have also started a new business that I am very excited about. I truly believe that it will be the business that will allow us to retire and serve a mission and be debt free in a short period of time because of the timing and integrity of the business opportunity. It is like nothing else I've seen and it is growing like crazy. I will tell most of you all about it at our family dinner later this month. I know you can hardly wait to hear.
Enjoy the pictures and captions. Please make comments if you think of any...I'm trying to do that more myself cause it's nice to know that someone is reading and hopefully enjoying what is being presented. Sorry I don't blog as often as I was. It is time consuming but I sure love reading all our family blogs. Keep up the good work.
Here's Grandpa doing his thing with the nose of his grandson, Carter!!
We finally caught it on film!

This is one of two large arrangements that were placed in a cut out
on the topof these custom made pillars out on the golf course
(9th tee) where thewedding took place.
There were 20 table arrangements at the reception held
in the dinning area of the golf course. This is one of them.
If you look really close you can see a tiny gray bird with a yellow beak
on the string like flower stem of those pink flowers.
There were 5 of them on those little branches eating bugs, I guess,
that were in the little pink flowers.
They were so cute I had to take pictures. I hope you can see him.
This is our garage sale. Only one bike out of three left in this picture.
This is Saturday afternoon when we were about to call it a day.
Dave and Brook are sitting on chairs in the shade at the front
of the garage. The weather was perfect!!
