Last night produced some nasty storms in our area, thankfully Des Moines was lucky. Indianola ws not as lucky. Was watching KCCI when their web cam actually caught debris being tossed around as the tornado hit ground. Dennis got caught in the storm in Des Moines on the motorcycle coming home from DMACC and had to pull off and wait for it to calm down. He was really soaked by the time he got home!
We are getting down to the wire on scheduling, and registration is on Wednesday, so we are scrambling to get things done. I am learning new work with this as they cut one position, and her job was to do some of what I am learning to do now. I enjoy learning the new work that is now going to be a part of my position.
Today has been gloomy most of the day, the weather is just weird. I hope it cools down tomorrow as they say it should. Rich and Tina will be home tomorrow from their honeymoon and I can't wait to see them! We are also having a birthday open house for a dear friend, Pam. She is fighting cancer and the family decided they wanted to do this. It should be fun, with lots of people there. Dennis and I need to go to the store so I can get things to make what I am taking.
I am also hoping to get that scrap table cleaned off! I need to do some scrapping!

July is Almost Over!
I don't know where this year has gone. 2010 has really given my family lots of things that made us take a moment to realize how important life is, how short it is, and how important we are to each other.
July 10, 2010 was a GLORIOUS day! That was the day that my oldest son, Rich married the love of his life, Tina in a small ceremony on Highway 108, MidoroCut, Wisconsin. The vows they wrote to each other show the special Love they have for each other. Its a love we don't always see anymore and with these two, you could really see it.
Dennis and I left on Friday night the 9th with Sherrill and Ben and Pam and Glenn and headed north to Austin, Minnesota for the night, and then took some twisty roads on into Wisconsin on Saturday AM. Rich and Tina, and several others left Des Moines on Saturday Morning. About 3:30 in the afternoon, we all lined up in the campground and headed out to the historical marker and the wedding site. Going down 108 I was thinking, ok,this is ok, but they talked about it being so pretty...aahhh, just give it a couple miles! What beauty! Mindoro Cut is a place cut out of the mountain and is just wonderful. There Maureen Wicks, a member of our GWTA motorcycle chapter, and a minister, performed the ceremony and Rich and Tina became Mr. and Mrs. Rich McCullough. We left there and headed on into Mindoro to a grill and pub for some celebration and dinner. This place had 108 different hamburgers, located on Wisconsin 108! It was great. We all had rally mugs and enjoyed some time and Rich and Tina had their first dance.
Then it was back to the campground for some relaxing, a bon fire, wedding cupcakes, a champaign toast, and listing to lots of stories being shared. Some of us oldies went to our cabins and slept, we just don't do the late nights. The rest were up until 2:30 or so. Some folks from another camp area heard there was a party going on where we were and had a golf cart, loaded with coolers and came up to enjoy. They had a great time!
Sunday morning came with some clean up, packing up and all family and guests heading for home. Rich and Tina left about 11:30 am for their honeymoon, and made it to Wall, South Dakota their first night. Carl and John left the campground early that morning, and Crazy Don left from Des Moines and all 5 of them met up there in Wall. They were all headed to the same final destination, Redmond, Oregon for the International BMW rally. Their they met up with two more guys, Rich and Craig. After the rally, the guys were headed home, and Rich and Tina headed to the Pacific Ocean. Had some beautiful riding for a few days in Oregon, before heading to Hell's Canyon, back across Idaho with wind, and then tonight are in Cody Wyoming visiting Tina's sister Tami. They will be home on Sunday and I can't wait to see them both.
I will have to get some pictures uploaded and shared!
