Dad's Grave

Country Wedding

My niece lives out at my farm in the country, a place called Enon Valley. She got married out there on Saturday. There was a pig stuffed w/ sausage & chicken and kegs of beer, not to mention a ton of other food and drinks. I walked around with some friends after the wedding ceremony, I didn't know many of the people there. We walked out to the back field and down to the creek. After dark we ended up at the bonfire. Someone snuck into the cornfield and lit off some serious fireworks. Congratulations Becky and Kurt!!!

Independence Day
