Celebrating . . . .

Today we are celebrating.  Twelve years ago today this young couple said their vows at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Sandpoint.  Congratulations, Willie and Debbie, for 12 great years as a couple of Love's AND for your new car!  Happy Anniversary. 

Most of the group at the Lovestead during last evening's family barbecue.  The gathering was part of our mother's Celebration of Life, with the special program today at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch.  The bees allowed us to enjoy the evening and all the food. 

Annie, Laurie, Monty, Barbara, Bill. 

Sefo, Scott and Bill at the grill. 

Chef Jacob, a confirmed lover of Wood's German sausage,  offers treats, which he prepared. 

Jacob enjoys the meats of his labor:  German sausage, that is. 

A notable at last night's gathering came in the form of toenails with the polish chipping away.  No big thing, but when you know they belonged to boys and men, surrounded by girls, they're notable.   Looks like both sets of toes could use a new do. 

Justine and her Grandma Mary.

Jade has decided to be a surrogate family member, so instead of triplets, we've enjoyed the quadruplets.  Jade on the left, Gracie on the right. 

Grace dresses her burger. 

Mike and Barbara, oldest of Batches 1 and 2, respectively.

Indoor action involved watching Junior's induction into the Mariner Hall of Fame.  Annie, Jacob, Willie, Justine. 

Sefo and Scott get acquainted. 

Mother's lively spirit prevailed over the evening.  This afternoon we celebrate her phenomenal life.
