On August five we had a beautiful outdoor wedding of Lindsey and Stephen in the backyard of her parents house.
The weather was suppose to be in the nineties but due to the smoke from the forest fires in Canada, it kept the heat of the sun less intense. The whole week we could not see the mountains. The families who came from out of State were a little disappointed in that. They never saw the beauty of the mountains that week.

Family
These two were responsible for bringing the gifts to the house.
They did a great job.
The Elgersma family left the next day.
The rest of the families went a day with the Ferry from Annacortis to Friday Harbour on San Juan Isl.
Interesting totem poles close by the Harbor.
On the way back a picture of the sunset with the smoke filled sky.

Safe travels for everyone.and gaining two more grandkids this summer.
For all those things we can say from the bottom of our heart:
THANK YOU LORD.
On this picture we are having coffee by Tim Horton in Aldergrove with Janny and Evert Bekkema.
as well as Corina where they were staying with.
Janny is a girlfriend of Corina in the Netherlands. Both are kids of our neighbors when I grew up in the Netherlands
It was so nice to talk about the old neighborhood and from their families.
Before we emigrated and needed a house for a few months then we rented the house where Everts parents planned to move in when they would retire.
It had to be remodeled first but that could wait at that time.
Well after all the excitement was over it went back to taken flower pictures
I can always take nature pictures. Love to do that.
Our roses. Anybody wants to see more and different angles?
I probably could load up another fifty or so.
Pictures I took at different times through the summer.
John and Yvonne grew two beautiful teepee's
and great looking beans.
And also gorgeous Dhalia's and Zinnia's
Those pictures of the flowers might end up in my pile of pictures for making greeting cards.
