Seventeen? So Soon

It is Mauri and Aaron's seventeenth anniversary today.  Hard to believe.
On this day, May 9th not so ago here's what happened:

The first member of our family got married.

Stormy all week, but clear and beautiful on this day.
The gray van ran out of gas on the freeway, with many of you in it.
Wheeler Farm Barn was decorated with quilts, cloths and oil lamps.
Her colors were dark green, navy and maroon.
Everyone wore vests, levi skirts and cowboy boots.
We did a mock ceremony with Gary Gibbs conducting.
Remember when the ants swarming the nut bowl?
Delicious apple & cherry pie, eclairs, veggies & such.
Finishing the basement apartment for them.

They certainly have learned alot since then. So have we.
