all dressed up......

and some place to go..... The "real" reason that Kas and Nate are home this week, is because their dear friend, Mary, is being married this evening. All these "kids" attended Portsmouth Christian Academy for school.. which at the time, was a small school, so it was easy to become very close friends. But even more so, they have remained close friends in the years since they graduated, and thus Kas and Nate wanting to be at the wedding...

Now, Nate wanted to wear his "dress blues" for this special occasion.. but "because he looks so good" they did ask Mary if she would mind if he wore them... she said no problem, in fact, her Dad is a military man, and he was wearing his dress uniform as well. So there will be some "handsome" men at this wedding..... course, we couldn't let the opportunity of a photo shoot get by us... so we took several good pics of them here at the lake!!!!! Nate has put in a lot of long hard hours to be able to wear this uniform, I hope he is as proud of his accomplishments as we are!!!!!

Before the "kids" got dressed up, we ran down to show them the barn. The last time they saw it, was back in March... when the came home and surprised Ed in the hospital... we still had snow then. Dear Ken was there, getting some painting done as the forecast for Monday is rain... and he wanted to get a jump on it. I couldn't help but get this shot..... look at these three... just standing there watching Ken paint.... you'd think they would have picked up some brushes and helped out!!! (and in case you are confused... this is the back side of the barn... the front is all done!!!!)

Charlie had to "help out" in his own way... he thought he could clean up the saw dust with his ears!!!! Good thing he's a swimming dog, because one jump in the lake got all the fuzzies out of his ears!!!!

So, Dave and Deb have headed home to take care of hungry animals.... Kas and Nate are headed off to the wedding... and Ed is sound asleep in his favorite camp chair...
