Congratulations are in order!



She said, "Yes!"
Bill and I broke quarantine and socially distanced Saturday. Grandson Kyle proposed to Abby; the wedding will be next fall. Meanwhile, they've bought a farm and a darling house about an hour out of town. They are as happy as the cows in the pasture, the pigs in the pen, the ducks in the pond, the galloping horses, and their crazy little dog, Beau, who has finally grown into his legs.  

                         
Beau is Kyle's dog through and through. He runs after (and rides on) four wheelers and tractors and in Kyle's truck when he drives to work each day. Kyle has a lawn care business, and Beau is spoiled by the workers and office personnel. 


 There were darling decorations and cute cookies and so much food. But we did not partake. We ate before we came. Oh wait, we did have a bakery cupcake with so much frosting and filling... Abby had glazed donuts with paper diamonds inserted, which looked like huge wedding rings. Such cute ideas.

 Beau made a  big splash when he jumped in the algae-covered pond, and had to be hosed off. He was even part of the celebration. He had a neckerchief printed with, My Humans are Getting Married!

The temperature was in the high 90s and heat index was over 100, but we stayed outside away from the crowd. We sat in lawn chairs on the end of the huge front porch and socially distanced. Kyle rigged up a gigantic fan, which kept us cool and allowed us to watch from afar as they took photos. It is a shame Covid had to shadow their celebration, but we are too old to mingle during a pandemic. Hope this virus is gone by the wedding!

Linda--The young couple looks quite happy. I'm glad you and Sasquatch got to enjoy the festivities, even if it was from afar.

(Wasn't Kyle the young man who started his lawn care business when he was still in his teens? If so, what an ambitious and determined kid. I'm sure the two of them will go far.)

Yes, Sioux, he's the one. Has a reading disability which never stopped him. He is driven to succeed.

It's great to hear good news! I love that picture of the happy couple. Beau was a double-dipper. He got a swim, and then a cooling shower as well!

Congratulations to the young, lovely couple!
Beau definitely stole the show with the printed handkerchief.
Great food and table decorations!
