What a beautiful wedding!

David and Joanna were married Friday, May 22, 2009. Ron and I brought the 5th wheel up to a campground nearby, and my brothers Roger and Ron drove from Minneapolis to attend. John and Elizabeth drove from Idaho too. Pictures were taken at Canyon Lake Park and the wedding was by Black Hawk, SD. What a beautiful couple, both inside and out! I am so happy for them and proud of them. I think they have had a great start. It was fun to meet Joanna's family and her little niece and nephew were great - they were the ringbearer and flower girl. I think more flower petals spilled out of the basket than were tossed out (so cute!) What a wonderful day and a great wedding!

I didn't try too hard to take pictures but these are the best of the ones I took (plus a few from someone else). If you want a picture that you can reprint in bigger format, just email me at suecleland@hotmail.com and I'd be glad to send it to you.

Spring flowers and shed delivery

Spring flowers are popping everywhere! The purple one is South Dakota's state flower, the prairie pasque flower, the first one to appear. Yellow violets, white starflowers and white flox are carpeting the sides of the warm south slopes. The bunny is feasting on the fresh green grass - I saw one trying to choke down a grass stem at least a foot long! Today the storage shed arrived from the lumberyard. We watched the truck sway down the road as we followed. Then the scary part ensued - the truck was parked on a slight hill so I was really nervous that the shed would tip out sideways. But our man was an expert and all was well. Ron put fence posts under it so he can roller and shove it into position next week. Then I get to primer and paint it. And we'll start moving in our stuff! Looks like our house will be selling at the end of the month.
We're so excited to hit the road!
