We had a bunch of running around to do today, so we were up early, ran into Arkport to get the wedding gift we wanted, then drove a bit east to Bath to pick up some hay, nice stuff, just $3.25 per, though they are a bit smaller than what we usually get (but larger than what I was given yesterday), and I was only going to get half a dozen, but since we’re considering staying a couple of extra days, I ended up buying ten, since it was nice hay. I may have to put some in the back of the trailer, since I doubt they’ll all fit in the truck once we’re hooked up. Then we headed back, stopping at a quaint little restaurant for breakfast called the Country Kitchen, then did some quick shopping at the Walmart before getting home at 1:00, giving us just an hour to get ready for the wedding. I wrapped the gift, made out the card and letter, and finally got dressed and made up in the last few minutes, and headed out just in time. We arrived about twenty minutes early, but the ceremony got a bit of a late start, but it was a beautiful day, the house was huge and gorgeous, the back yard had a great big tent, and there were probably close to 80 people there by the time it started. It was a lovely ceremony, I got caught up with a number of folks, ate far too much at the reception, had Lola with us making friends, too, and overall it was a very nice party. Hubby finally got too tired to sit in the plastic chairs any longer, and went to sit in the truck, and I arranged with the groom, Steve, to get some water to top off my tank since we had decided to stay a couple more days. We even arranged for him and his new bride Amanda and her kids to maybe come by on Tuesday for a bit, her girls are into horses, taking riding lessons at a nearby stable, and Steve and I can always find things to talk about! He’s like another brother to me, and we’ve known each other since 1974. Anyway, we left shortly thereafter since we had to get back to feed the horses, made two quick stops for fuel and wine (no wine in the Walmarts here!), got back to camp shortly before dusk, and got the horses settled. Hubby was nodding off in his chair before I even came in from chores, so I decided to spend some time with the neighbors, as this would likely be my only chance. So I headed off to their bonfire and we chatted for a long time. By the time Lola and I came back, Lola was ready to jump into the truck, Hubby had already gone to bed, so I took my quick shower and climbed into bed.
