Thank you all for your kind thoughts! You guys know just what to say:)) and are so supportive. As far as looking calm and happy... Skip started crying in the middle of the night the week before the wedding, and he cried during the wedding while he was walking downt he aisle and reception when he had to do his speech and do the father/daughter dance. Actually the minister told Mary that it was sort of strange to see a guy who looked like he could be a pro wrestler barely able to make it down the aisle. Looks can be deceiving:) I sort of kept it together except for a small moment when she came down the aisle. I was actually sort of crying more at the rehearsal. Her husband (wierd to write that) is such a sweetie. He sent roses to the shop while she was getting her hair done with a lovely note that gave me goose bumps. He is just like one of my own kids, and they go together like two peas in a pod. I wish I had a close-up of her dress, it had sparkley scrolling around the bodice, more sparkley trim around the top and hem,and a beautiful brooch sort of thing at the top of the bustle. It was just such a fast paced day, that I couldn't get all the shots I wanted. She loves Gerbera daisies, and didn't want anything too fussy. The florist suggested that they go in contrasting colors so it would show up in the black and white photos. As far as the cake tree, there were 10 cakes, each with a different design. Some chocolate, some white, some marble. They tasted really good. The little favors on the table were cut out wedding cakes. His mom baked them, and we all went over to decorate them the week before the wedding. They were all different because so many people were doing them. We used plastic silverware we had little bells to jingle instead of tapping on glasses. They have a fence along the driveway, and I took the bows from church and put them on the fenceposts. Don't have a picture of it though. Thanks again! I am going to take the pictures down after today, because it kind of gives me the creeps to know that 600 people have looked at them.... Drema

As you know I have very strong feelings of affection for you... friendly type feeling that is. I miss our e-mail swaps! Feel free to drop me a chat mail anytime. I'm delighted to see you found someone special... he looks like a great guy. I regretted that we live so far apart as I would have loved to have met you when you were single. Hope life brings you and your family the comfort and security you all deserve. I was in particular touched that Bob's family still considers you one of them!... good family is forever. love you much!... take care of yourself first so you have the strength to keep up with that large group. : ) lyra

I just talked with Apple (thank goodness for "Apple Support," see link below). I already had an Apple TV I didn't use (didn't know how to) and they walked me through the steps to view my photos on my TV. Very simple with Apple on the other end of the phone. I highly recommend this as well as their "One to One," when buying a new Mac or Laptop. I call them ALL the time. Ginny Here is a link that might be useful: Apple Support - a great buy!

Both my grandparents emigrated from England and both came over in 1914. They only met the next year. The Canadian government were asking for immigrants to work in the textile industry, and in particular they wanted weavers. My grandfather (originally from Wales) worked in the steel industry, and Canada was really expanding in that area. So they both came over to jobs that were waiting for them.
