BOB'S AND FELICIA'S WEDDING RECEPTION IN PA

Friday afternoon Bob picked me up and we went to the Honey Brook Lion club. They had it rented for three days for their wedding reception.

 It was amazing how the room was transformed, but it took hours of work. 

All 80 chair coverings had to be ironed. Larry came after his zoom meeting and started ironing. 

While Lynda, Larry and I ironed Felicia's parent and  relatives from Atlantic City put up tea lights and sheer material at the windows and along the walls.

After ironing for hours Lynda, started folding napkins with  the silverware. Joe was Bob's best man and he gave a helping hand with  whatever needed to be done. 

Saturday morning the room was ready. Looking from the doorway to the head table and stage.

Looking back from the stage.

The dessert table. Cake and cupcakes.

Some mix drinks.

Total solar eclipse, Cranberry grape and Jack Daniel's

Niagara Water. Hawaiian Punch blueberry and Black berry Rum.

While we were at the hall getting the drink and food ready. Felicia, Amanda, Donna and her mom were having their hair and makeup done and pictures taken at her parent's house.

The guest arrived at 4. We sat with friends from Parkesburg that I haven't seen in years. 

The head table decorated. I liked the His and her champagne glasses.

After a meal by Mission BBQ, a couple dance, and a toast it was time to cut the cake.

Felicia dancing with her dad.

I danced with Bob.

Bob took the garter off Felicia before I could get a picture.

Lucas  caught it and Lynda caught the bouquet.  So I wonder which one will get married next?? 

 

BACK TO PA

We loaded up the RV, took Patty and left Florida on Friday morning, April 12.  The weather was good except for being a little windy on the drive up. 

We arrived at Circle M on Sunday.  The pink and white flowering trees are a beautiful sign of spring. I enjoyed seeing the daffodils on our drive last weekend to New York. The tulips are now  blooming. Haven't been here in spring for many years. 

 We went over to Mystique's and Eric's on Thursday for a visit. All of the children are now in school, so we meet them at the bus stop.  Averie is a chicken whisperer, they follower her and she can catch them.

Mystique fixed Ashtyn's hair for her violin concert that evening. 

Hunter told Grandpa all about the picture he was coloring after he had read us his homework.

Alivia enjoys listening to music and swinging.

Ashtyn in a pretty new dress and her hair all curled.  She was to be in a concert that evening playing the violin. But upon arriving at the school we found out it was the wrong night.
 

THE WEDDING

 

Saturday afternoon we got dressed for the wedding. I wore a coat over my dress most of the time. 

Lynda and Dottie dressed up.

The wedding started at the Quality Hotel and Suites at Niagara Falls. I was given a beautiful corsage. All the flowers were made by Beth, Bob's best man's wife.

Lynda's corsage.

 Felicia's Aunt Don Don. She was a maid of honor.

Beth and Shawn with two beautiful flower arrangements she made for the wedding.

Amanda, Felicia's friend and maid of honor.

We walked from the hotel to the falls. They said two blocks but at the falls we walked another two blocks. Lynda ended up with blisters on her feet. If I hadn't put my sneakers in my purse and she is my shoe size she wouldn't have made it back.

Bob and the minister waiting for the bride. 

The minister was a retired Church of Christ minister and had a very nice ceremony.

Bob wore most of it.

A kiss to make up.

They have two dogs and had them with them. They were to be part of the wedding but it was just too much stress for Bob to get them dressed and to the hotel.
