Beautiful October

I do not have much to write about last week.  The highlight was yesterday and attending Naomi LaFond's wedding on a farm on Lizard Lane in Grubville, Missouri!  She married her many-years best friend, Jon, on his family farm.  It was a beautiful setting - the weather was absolutely perfect - and Steve and I enjoyed ourselves. 

 Several church members from Columbia made the drive to attend (it was located south and west of St. Louis - it took over 2 /12 hours to get there) and it was fun to see Erin's brother and his wife who we knew as teenagers.  Their youngest is 18!  Here is Mary Ellen Davis Naylor with Naomi


You can see the popcorn in Naomi's hands.  That, along with hot coco, peanuts, and M&M's were the pre-wedding snack.  She had an old fashioned bathtub full of ice and soft drinks, too.  They served a yummy dinner and we had to leave before the bonfire, hayride, and dancing got started. 

Here we are with Sarah, who also attended, in front of the doors that Naomi walked through before walking down the grassy aisle. Before the wedding, Steve and I attended the temple and I gave Noah a piano lesson.  It was a full day!  But fun.

Things are still pretty green around here and, up until Thursday night, it felt like summer!  Ugh.  Had to run the AC.  Thankfully, we are back on track with "normal" October weather again. 

I have started watching a new series via Netflix - Poldark.  I zipped through the first three episodes of season 1 and I am anxiously awaiting disc 2.   I sewed, I went to pottery, I went to Civic Orchestra rehearsal, I taught five people from Democratic Republic of Congo how to ride the bus on Tuesday, I worked on quilts at Laura's on Thursday, I taught lots of cello lessons.  An average week.....

  1. Tell me about Poldark - an add caught my eye, but I couldn't (or didn't have time to) find much more about it... what appeals to you about it?

    Meanwhile, thanks for writing even when you think you don't have much to write about... :)
