Well Saturday was a busy fun filled day with getting ready for company and then an awesome time at Frank and Karin's wedding at the Pleasant Home Church in Alleghany County. Such a beautiful setting in gorgeous farm land and the folks who live in the area and work the land are fantastic. We met some GOD loving folks and who are truly the salt of the earth. My son Bobby always preached we need to be the salt of mankind and seek the light of CHRIST to be and make a difference for those who we come in contact during this lifetime and surely these folks represent both salt and light.
We spent the morning after a night with the flannel sheets which were so snuggly and cozy that we didn't want to face the cold temps which really considering the fore cast was for a hard freeze. The brisk breeze made it feel even colder. This is definitely winter time for Florida. We love the change in the seasons but after a few days of being cooped up in the house we are ready for some warmer temps.
I managed to spent most all morning outside blowing the fallen leaves and covering the tender plants with trash cans to ward off the possibility of frost. Thankfully the breeze stayed up which kept the white stuff away. We were being kept up to date on the traveling progress of Nancy's mom, sister and niece. They got caught up in a back up due to a crash on the southbound lanes from all of the rubber neckers when they were heading northbound. They got in here around 6'ish after leaving Seminole around 5:30 in the morning. What a change for them from the 80's with the a/c running while wearing shorts to the 50's when they arrived with a stiff breeze. It was down to 35 this morning at the cabin.
Well the 2 o'clock wedding was in a small quaint church where Frank the groom was raised in and was visible from the back porch of his cabin. The place was nearly full with family and guests and the ceremony was sweet and sacred. Karin was beautiful in her ivory gown and both of their children by prior marriages were in attendance. The music was beautiful and a song sung by a cousin of Frank's that had me in tears. It was a Rascal Flatts song about "broken roads bringing them together" today for this occasion. We saw lots of familiar faces and made lots of new acquaintances as well. Frank is a dairy farmer and his land is beautifully manicured which has been in the family for decades. They had an awesome and delicious reception at his cabin which definitely has a manly touch.
Well we supped on Zuppa soup and crusty bread around 7'ish and then setup and talked until nearly 10'ish for me. I headed in for some horizontal lab after a hot shower and read until nearly 10:30 before the warm flannel sheets set me up for sleeping, LATER
I will post some pics as soon as Nancy down loads them to the laptop
