Jeff and Rhiannon's Wedding
Last Saturday (Aug. 30th) our neighbors, Jeff and Rhiannon, got married downtown Seattle. A couple of months ago Jeff and Rhiannon asked Dan if he would do the honor of marrying them as we were their first friends in Seattle. Dan did a fabulous job officiating. During the ceremony Jeff and Rhiannon read their own vows and there was not a dry eye in the house. Once the wedding part was over we enjoyed kicking back with the rest of the 85 Stoner neighbors over dinner and dancing. I must say THE STONERS CAN DANCE!!! We love our neighbors :)
Dan's mom took this picture of us before we left for the wedding. The picture almost looks staged with Rufus sitting so nicely (this never happens)

The "Blade Table" (Apparently that is what the police used to call our neighborhood)

There was this girl at the wedding that looked like a Fifties pin up model. The stoners all wanted to get each of our picture with her in the background :)
Instead of Cake we had pies made from Rhiannon's families farm down in Roseburg Oregon. They had their own lemon meringue pie. We had a choice of Marionberry or Apple. It was Yummy!!
Their photographers setup this photo booth in one of the rooms where you sat on a couch and you pushed a button that was connected to a camera. The Stoners had a fun time taking all sorts of funny pictures. This one was with trent and the girls.

A Nice Surprise
On Sunday August 24th Dan's parents arrived in Seattle for their annual visit from Ohio. The nice surprise was that they had not been planning to come this summer due to our Europe trip and Dan's school schedule, but a couple of weeks ago they decided they could squeeze a visit in before our trip and so they booked the trip. We had a lovely time with them cooking at home and running around downtown.

Kathy always makes me her famous peach pie--my favorite. She also made Dan sugar cookies with pink frosting--his favorite.
