Jersey T’s second life
Joe and Toni got married Saturday. All three kids arrived in time for dinner Wednesday. Ryn made a big hit with her new backpack and duffle bag. They were made from Jersey T, a calf that lived at Eastwind.
Mark helping Bryon with a puzzle
We had different events for different folks Thursday morning. Pat, Mark, Ryn & Taeo toured a guitar factory. Danita & I took B & E to the Robinson Nature Center. In the afternoon, we played Monster Golf — a minigolf that is indoors (very important for a rainy day). Danita & I take yoga Thursday evenings. We are the only people in that yoga class, so we converted it into a family yoga class. Danita, Mark, and Jul played Scrabble after dinner.
Taeo & Ryn
Friday Danita & I took B, E, and Jul to Emmitsburg to see the Grotto (Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes). We had a picnic lunch during a break in the rain, then visited the Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. It’s not a typical adventure, but everybody had a good time. We were fortunate to have very little rain during the day.
Scrabble
The wedding was on Kent Island (just on the other side of the bay bridge). The ceremony was very nice. Joe and Toni both obviously love each other. The reception was in Annapolis. The food was good,The wine (and beer) flowed freely. In between, we had some free time. It was rainy, so we hung at the Annapolis Mall, which fortunately had an interesting Lego store.
Ryn made this hat from a Racoon they trapped. (Racoons were attacking the ducks and had to go.)
The Reeds left early Sunday morning so they could go to work and school Monday. Ryn, Taeo, and Mark went to a celebratory brunch Sunday. If they get back in time, we’ll catch a movie — probably the highly reviewed “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Ryn & Taeo are moving on to New England. Ryn is looking at several farms where she can work a while and learn useful new stuff. Taeo is considering working as an assistant chef at this restaurant in South Carolina:

Danita, doing her thing. The spaghetti was very good.

That’s a lot of stuff for one week. We’ll spend a couple of days packing before leaving on our great journey to South Dakota Wednesday morning. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
