Hawaiian/Redneck Wedding

The setting was at the Pouquette Homestead (outdoors in a lovely pine forest). This is a very special place for Reisa and easy to see why after arriving and taking a look around. Wonderful ponderosa pine trees and a cute little homestead that has been closed up for some time but wow, beautiful setting although a little rugged. The day was perfect with no threats of thunderstorms so that was truly a blessing.

The wedding was not due to begin until 5:00 pm so did a little more decorating in the morning and resting up for the evening party.

The wedding was truly lovely and fun. Reisa was a beautiful bride and Roy was very handsome too and they made a lovely couple. It was so great for us to have all 3 boys together at the same time and place! A long time coming and we had a few of our grands there too. Earl III brought both Karl and Amanda so we were able to visit some with them.

Afterwards the reception was held at the "Sultana" in town on Main Street. Again, this is a town Reisa grew up in and knows so many folks... It was a lot of fun with wonderful food and good live band and everywhere we turned we were met with such nice friendly people. It's no wonder to us why they hope to settle here some day in the not too distant future.

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
