Happy Me 

 Barrett and I came back for Julie's wedding but I had wanted to come back to visit for 24 years so I asked Gwen if it wouldn't be too hard on her if I stayed to visit. Gratefully she said I could stay. 

Day One Post Wedding...Barrett, J , K and I drove back to WI before the others to get Barrett on a plane and K to work. Sunday at 4:15 up to take Bear yo the airport then back to bed. Later I woke up in time to drive over to Sacrament meeting. I texted the change in the bishopric to Gwen. 

Day Two Post Wedding...recovery

Went for a walk on the new trail

Day Three Post Wedding...it was raining. Saw Gravity and went to Mars Cheese Factory 

Day Four Post Wedding...went to Lake Geveva for lunch and shops

Today I go home. It is nice to visit with Gwen. We are comfortable. She doesn't feel like she has to entertain and I don't feel like I have to be entertained. 

Mary, her mom, has been here too. Very fun visiting with her. Talking about politics, latter days, my work, her family has been great ! She is awesome and it has been years since I saw her last. 

First selfy attempted with my new iPhone - have to work on it.

Trish's Weekend Wedding - Day One - Friday

We had the honor and privilege of attending Trish's wedding in the Salt Lake City Temple March 17th.  Joy has a wonderful family and she is one of my favorite people on earth.  I love to be with her and her family and miss that we don't live in the same area.  I love every chance we have to be with each other.  Joy's great attitude and infectious spirit has all been passed down to her kids.  They love to have fun and the bring everyone into it.

We all converged on the Hilton on Friday and departed Sunday.  Action packed all the way: Day One - Friday
