Last week we had the privilege of spending some time with our friends, Bill and Elaine Hunt. They live in KC, but were vacationing in Colorado. We always appreciate them letting us know when they are out here so we can get together. Rowen took this picture of the rest of us at the Country Buffet in Longmont Twin Peaks Mall where we ate together on June 2. Then on June 5, they came over to our house and spent the evening hours with us. They are precious people who love the Lord, care about us, and always have interesting stories to tell!

Workin' in the Yard 'n' Garden
Last evening, Rowen and the children worked hard in the garden and yard while I was sewing on the wedding dresses. Here Rowen is pulling weeds from the green beans on his hands and knees.
Jason, Emily, and Beth also worked hard on the green bean rows. Jeffrey was on the deck taking the pictures and casting the shadows. (Hard work for him! HaHa He was already cleaned up from his day of lawn mowing, so we gave him dishes duty!)
After the garden work was done, they moved to the front yard where our Linden tree needed some trimming. Beth had the opportunity to use the chain saw to cut up the branches Rowen had cut down. Here you see her "getting up her nerve!"
Success! And what fun it was!
It was Jason's first time too. It was a "thrill a minute." Then they tied the cut branches in bundles.

The tree looks better now and will not impede the sunlight to the mound as much as it has been.This picture may better show what Rowen's windshield suffered through the tornado.
Wedding Stuff!
I am getting some things finished up for the wedding. This is Lexi Peterson, who will be the flower girl in Tim and Brenda's wedding, in her dress. She is standing on the guest room dresser, so that she looks like she is beside herself! She is a sweetie.This is the vest and bow tie I made for Quil to wear at the wedding. I hope it fits him. I sent it in the mail, so he can try it on. The color is exactly the same as Lexi's dress, even though it doesn't look like it. Trust me!
I have also finished Emily's and Beth's dresses completely. Mine is waiting to be hemmed. Brenda is at home in New Jersey hemming and finishing her sisters' and her mom's dresses.
