A Busy Day

Rielee's Graduation Party

The first thing today was Rielee's graduation party at the J Squared Barrel House in Longview.  On the right side of this display you can see where she will be going to college.

When Rielee posed with Ava and Harper I got this picture.  It was a nice party and I had a great time visiting with Kelly, Cathy, Bob, Dianne and Steve at our table.

Michelle introduced us to her friend Pam.  Pam made the quilt hanging from the railing for Rielee.

Auna and Colby's Wedding Reception

The first thing I took a picture of was the dessert tables.  I didn't realize I was getting a selfie of Mik and I in the mirror.  I found out later those cookies were delicious.

When I took this picture I didn't know it was carrot cake, one of my favorites.  It was one of the best ones I have had in a long time.  All the pictures today are in the order I took them.

It is always fun sitting with this group.  Charbo, Ava, Mik, Michelle and Vera were also sitting here.  Kelly had to take Harper to a ball game in Portland.

The tables were far enough apart that other conversations did not intrude on our visiting.

Dan introduced the newly weds Colby and Auna Gaston.

Emmy emceed a game where they held up a shoe of who they thought fit the question.  I think this was the only time they disagreed. 

The Big Green Barn at Bunyard Ranch was a great place to have the party.

More of our family shows in this picture.

Auna and Colby are doing the traditional first dance. 

This is David and Auna during the father/daughter dance.

Colby is dancing with his mother.

We remembered to bring Michelle's birthday card.

The last dance we watched was the one to see who had been married the longest.  Emmy did a count up five years at a time.  We didn't even get up because we knew Cathy and Bob would win.  Which they did with sixty four years.  It was a great evening, lots of fun and a lot of nice people.
