A FAMILY AFFAIR

Had an unexpected family dinner Saturday night. My brother, Rob, his wife, Marie, and their daughter, Meredith, flew in from Virginia. They are combining the wedding with a vacation to Yellowstone. We invited them to go out to dinner with Todd and Michaela and us.

A little earlier in the day, our phone rang and it was Jim’s son, David. (Second oldest) They were in Bozeman for Katie’s track and field regional competition and wanted to know if we had room for them if they came over. We figured we could fit them in someplace. So they were able to join us for dinner also.

Had a great visit. The bride and groom were very relaxed and excited about their big day the next day.

It’s really hot here in Billings. Mid 90’s today, lows in the 60’s. Tomorrow for the wedding we’re going to hit 100. Sure hope we all survive it.

  3. It sounds like the "just family" part of the wedding grew a bit bigger! This hot weather can leave just in time for the wedding and just in time for us to keep traveling!

  6. Well I suppose "hot" is better than "wet", but it can be a challenge to get dressed up and go out in the heat.
    Should be a fun time just the same.
    Best wishes.

  9. I sure wouldn't be wearing a suit and tie for that wedding - not at 100 degrees!

    Have fun and stay cool.
