Before the ceremony

From the wedding ceremony

I had all the wedding photos on my work laptop and finally have started getting them on the home computer!  Here are some goodies from the ceremony.  

In Seattle

Say! I think I figured out how to post from the Asus. We are having a great time in Seattle. We walked underneath the Space Needle today and decided it is way to high for us, remember, we didn't even want to fly to Seattle. Well going up to the top of the space needle would be just about like flying. We enjoyed the train ride from San Diego, yes, 40 hours is a long time, but we have time to waste. Tom and Gina have been showing us all over the city. We take the ferry to Victoria, BC on Tuesday and then home of Thursday. We both miss the sunshine a little, one of us more than the other, but it will be good to get home. Thanks all for all of the wedding pictures you posted, and especially Aimee for putting them on our computer. We have enjoyed looking at them often. Thanks also for being there for the big day. It meant so much to Gabe, Lori, and Bill and I.

happy family

What a great weekend, or at least 36 hours. We sure packed in the fun. Sue and I only missed about 5 hours, when we slept. I had a post of her in the airport on the way home in Atlanta, with coffee stains all over her shirt, no make-up on, no earrings and coffee on her pants too, and hung-over too. . . .but I had to delete it. I didn't want to scare anyone. Thanks Gabe and Lori for a great time, and Sal and Bill are the best in-laws ever!

Happy family, happy girl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

That smile hasn't changed in 27 years, (well I do remember a little gap between those two front teeth). So happy and why not, when you have happiness all around you like Mike and Dozer! 27!! Just look how happy everyone is. Even Dozer had a birthday bath to celebrate this day. I think I heard there would be a special dinner out too. What a great family. Wish I was there to be with our big girl. Love you guys and miss you bad!! XOXOXOXO

Howdy Pardners!

We are in Laughlin, NV. This is actually a pretty neat location, in the southernmost point of Nevada. We are staying in The Golden Nugget. I see why Gabe and Lori like this place, our room is $22.49 a night, and $1.99 breakfast, $5.99 steak dinner. I haven't tried the blackjack table yet (chicken), but had some fun on the Goldfish 1cent slot machine after losing my free $5. on the 25 cent slots. Today we are off to Oatman, AZ, about 15 miles away for some desert tourist moments. We are also about 5 miles to California, so maybe we will head over there tomorrow. Thank goodness we found the Bullhead City, AZ library because there is no free wifi in the Golden Nugget, what do you want for $22 a night!
Can't wait to see y'all,
Cactus Sal
PS Seems like we are going to be OK with Ike down in the Keys with maybe just a tropical storm out of it. Gosh, it's good to be out of there, and not thinking about it 24/7.

Reeds Lake Triathlon

This morning Jim did the Reed's Lake Triathlon.  Sorry the pictures are out of order.  You can see him in the water just before the swim - he is behind the pole, without his cap on.  After a strong swim, a stronger bike ride and a good run, he cruised to the finish like a pro.  Good job baby!!!
