Congrats to Leah and Garrett Johnson - Married on December 22, 2007

 

This was the first Jewish traditional wedding, we had ever been too. The kids

thought the blessing of the wine and the breaking of the glass was neat.

 

It has been great knowing both of you over the past few years. You are both

a wonderful couple in love. We wish you both the best of luck in Alaska.

The kids enjoyed the dance and Jason enjoyed getting over 500 kisses.

My cousin Trista Elmenhorst of Moran, Kansas got married this summer in Iola, Kansas to Derek McVey.

They picked July 7th which may break all records as this date was popular due to the 070707 sequence.

A total of 65,000 couples were wed on this day. I wish this couple the best of luck as they go through life.
 
Last summer when visiting Aunt Edna and Okie Joe, I spent alot of time with the couple. And a some time
antiquing with my Aunt Edna. These times I will never forget nor shipping boxes and boxes of urns, butter
churns and stars back to Montana. I still laugh about the 100 year old ironing board purchased, I never iron.
The garden tips were great and I planted all of the seeds from the Kansas Heartland, hopefully, they will
flourish for many years.
 
They are great together and will have a wonderful life together. We will never forget playing Tripoly for hours,
Sequence and of course PITCH! Many memories were captured on that visit to Kansas and the summer went
by quickly. Twice in the past five years,I have had the pleasure to work in Kansas City, it has been great.  
 
Thanks to my Aunt Edna for her genuine hospitality. It is always a pleasure visiting the great town of Moran. And
you never know when you are going to be asked to be in a parade or give a graduation speech, this town is great.
 
May God Bless Always!
