I only had a couple of pumpkins that didn't rot in the garden this year. They were pretty small, but I baked them in the oven until the pulp was soft and then I pureed it and made a large pumpkin pie. If you have never tasted a pioneer pumpkin pie, you are really missing something. The flavor is so different from the canned pies I usually make..
As the sun was setting tonight, the sky became a strange green, then orange color....then it got dark....and....nothing weird happened.

In case you can't read the small print on the bottom of the picture:
Lydia and her dad were zooming down the aisle, about the time she got by us, she told him to slow down!
I was sitting pretty far back, but I used the zoom and took this picture. It was such a pretty Lutheran church and the ceremony was very nice.
Lydia and Cody coming out of the church after the ceremony.
Two of the lovely bridesmaids. Kelsey on the right used to work for us at the ice cream shoppe. Lydia worked for us too for several years. She worked very hard in the concession trailer too. That's why she's special to us.
Here are the pictures of Lydia and Cody from their childhood years. The wedding theme was kind of a Fall/Camo theme. Everything thing was green and brown, but was very beautiful. The bridesmaids wore dark green satin strapless gowns, the groomsmen wore tuxedos with vests of camoflage, but it looked very classy.
Isn't this an unusual cake? Mostly I guess the cake topper is what makes it so unique.
A close-up of the cake topper...
Cody and Lydia visited each person at their wedding and gave us all a can cozy. I forgot to upload the pictures here, but they were camoflage and said "the hunt is over" on one side and had their names and wedding date on the other. It was very nice of them to give us all a gift.
Quite by accident I found this Waikiki webcam on Google Earth. I sent the link to Darren and he wrote me right back and said it was right by his and Mindy's hotel. What are the odds? So he called me and said he was there, but I couldn't see him. He said he was wearing red, and across the road by the stop light was a person in red. I asked him if two girls with yellow surfboards just walked by him, he said yes..so I could see him, but he was too far away for a decent picture. I told him to cross the street. The webcam takes a picture about every half second or so. So, while he was crossing the street it was really funny....First he was HERE and then he was HERE and then he was THERE...finally he found the place under the street light and I save the picture and posted it to Facebook..See? He's waving: "Hi, Mom, from Waikiki Beach"...it was so cool to see him. He and Mindy are getting married Thrusday, the 9th right on the beach at sunset. I'm so happy for them and hope they can post some pictures soon. Darren is having trouble with the upload thing on Facebook. Anyway, just love this picture of him..
Here are a few bottle of the homemade mead. I had no ink in my printer, so I used old newspapers and cut out the letters like the kidnappers do....
