Well, Stacey and I just returned from a marvelous week in Idaho to participate and enjoy the wedding of my oldest grandaughter Rebecca Lee Brackett, now Cab'les.  It seems like only yesterday that I watched her birth at Parrish Hospital and later that day we all observed the first shuttle launch after the Challenger disaster. She turns 21 this month!

     This was an awesome event and beautiful as well. I'll add a picture or two once I get a few. They are a very special couple taking on a major journey as well. God, their faith, family and love will get them through I know. Becca was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her early teens (none on either side of the family) and a few years later with full blown Chrohn's Disease. She is such a lovely, smart young woman with a wonderful spirit. It was good to get to know Nathan and his family as well.

     I think I did shock Stacey, her sisters and the brides brother, Luke, when I joined them several times on the dance floor. Suzie said I boogied! I guess Luke, who visited us in June as he relocated with the Air Force from Iraq & Italy, etc to the Panhandle for his next assignment, thought my knee would keep me out of the fun. (I gave him Dicks car when he was here, which had formerly been his late parents in Illinois... an '85 Caprice Classic with under 38K original miles on it!) I did pay for the extra moves the next day but I sure did enjoy it and it was worth it!! Maybe shocked my ex, as well??? I always enjoy a fun time and family visits! Susan and Hank are excellent hosts as well. A lot of wonderful memories from this awesome Labor Day week!

     Idaho weather was considerably more pleasant than the heat we have been having here. Cooler evenings, snuggling under blankets, firepit, garden swings and enjoying their incredible furry "family"! They have an amazing yard and garden. She definitely has the Greene Family "Thumb". It reminded me a bit of my Grandmother's home in St Pete when I was growing up... without the citrus, of course. :-)       More later when I have photos and get caught up on my sleep!
