Of course we found a spot where we could observe without being observed! The guests started to arrive in the most unusual costumes. One couple spotted us and came over and explained "Steam Punk" as it was a Steam Punk themed wedding. I later found the photographer online and enjoyed some of the professional photos of the event.

Genuine love. <br />I love reading about the events of your past and your families past.

Good for him, glad he didn't hurt himself badly. I'm with you, I'm afraid of falling. I used to love to skate--it's what I did with my sisters all summer and fall and into the winter. I want to live in the picture you purchased! It's beautiful and a great bargain. I like what you did to brighten it. Hanging it in your home will be lovely! Your trip to the beach in the winter is great. The Potomac looks and sounds like the ocean. Fun times as always with you and your family.

Pieter got word from some of his students that they went skating and there even was an old man. That was my Dad, Pieter replied!<br />My Dad went skating over a distance of over 13 miles when dating as he traveled via the frozen creeks and canals to see Mom!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736160874236551104.post-5853102908791042922024-02-17T21:49:56.202-05:002024-02-17T21:49:56.202-05:00These are lovely Betsy.

The lady at the register said Wedgewood, what a deal. I just always wanted some with those little handles and never got them til now. Perfect size for soup instead of the huge bowls that look like troughs today. That is a teeny little stove, looks like a toy stove but it helps.

I love the Rockfish Gap area. We need to make day trip there before too long. Your photos are great! We have snow on the ground, but none on the roads which makes it nice for getting around. Those rains came here as well and were really something! The Rappahannock flooded and many folks had wet basements. I love your little heater--so cute. Glad it's helping with the chill.
