Wedding Bells

This past weekend we had the pleasure to attend the nuptials of our amazing and fantastic friends Steven and Paul.

Words cannot do justice to the night we had so I will not even attempt to describe it. The Maple Syrup Farm where the ceremony/reception were held was gorgeous, as was some of the staff. The food and drink were flowing and the Macarons that were wheeled out at dessert were delicious. The eclecticism of this group of people brought together for one night really spoke to the type of guys Steven and Paul are. As was said during the night “Opposites truly do attract, and in this case Complement each other”

We were honored to be invited and partake in the love that filled the room that day.

Here are some pictures from the happy occasion.

               

Hup 2, Three, 4

And so it begins again…..Memorial Day weekend is not only the unofficial start of Summer but it is the Official Start of Parade Season.

This weekend did not disappoint in the Parade Shenanigans. We started with 1 parade on Sunday afternoon which was kind of the warm up to the 2 parades we would have on Monday.

Don’t I look amazing? This was taken Monday morning as we had breakfast and prepared for the day. The Niece (who is 4) let me borrow (begrudgingly) her Princess Headband and Sunglasses to snap a quick pic.

Once breakfast was had it was on the bus and off to Main Street for the line up.

 

This was the view from where we started. It doesn’t look it up this end but most of the parade route the people were 5 deep and in some spots 10-15 people deep. The weather really does help the turn out and this 21st year of Marching down Main Street was made that much better.

After the local town parade we got back on the bus and headed to the next town over for their parade. Over the years this parade has gone from good to bad to worse back to good.

The good is the length, less than a mile. The bad is the fact that every kid in town is in this parade. The good is they are all behind us. The bad is that the group in front of us moves way too slow. At least there weren’t any horses in front of us like there were at the parade we marched on Sunday.

So here’s to another parade season in full swing, next one is this Friday, see you on The Street.

Bowling wrap up

This past Sunday was the final time this year the Bowling League would all convene in one place. It was another great season with lots of ups and downs. We didn’t win any money as a team but I did manage to walk away with a few baubles.

On the right is my Medal for being on the Board of Directors

Next to that is my Medal for having the 3rd highest men’s average

A small pin for having Perfect attendance

Another Pin for my over 200 game, this year I had 3 of them the highest being 217 in week 2.

A Bottle opener for bowling a game that was 70 pins over my average.

I look forward to next year but know I will see some of the league members over the summer. From here on out it is Parade Posts instead of Bowling posts.

Bowling Week #15 2015

And the penultimate night of Bowling has come and gone. Just 1 week left.

Game #1 – 200

Game #2 – 134

Game #3 – 180

My starting average going into the night was a 151, my average is now 153.

This week we played Team Spare Me. The spread between our averages and their averages was huge this week, 162 points. We tried our best to overcome it coming close in Game 1 (10 points) and even closer in Game 3 (1 point) but alas we were not able to score any points this week.Going into the final nights position round we are in 7th place.

Next week we play team Up Your Alley.

Not sure how far up we can finish but hoping we can hold them off and at a minimum stay in 7th to finish the year or hopefully higher.
