Grampa and Gramma are home again.

Hi! Sammy and Cara:

 

How are you guys?  Happy as ever I imagine.  

We got home last night from our three month stay in BC.  We had a great time even though it rained a lot.  We did lots of visiting with other friends who were out there for the winter.  We enjoyed looking at the scenery around the island and did lots of exploring when it wasn't raining..  Ate lots of fish meals, especially Oysters.  Everything is nice and green and all the cherry blossoms are blooming.  But. it's nice to be home again.

 

We had a good trip home from your wedding.  We had a good time.  It was great seeing you again.  You both looked so nice.    We hope you have a long and happy life together.  We  have been looking at all of the wedding pictures that are posted on your website.   They are all very nice.  Looks like everyone had a good time.  We hope you like our pictures too.. I'm looking forward to seeing the ones that the wedding photographer took.

   

Well, I have to get off the computer now.  Grampa and Jordy are complaining that I should be making supper ha ha..   Grampa is going to BBQ steaks.  It's nice here today.  Take care of each other and stay happy.

Tripod's "Gonna make you happy tonight"

I do not like the idea of giving music away that "should" otherwise be paid for, assuming it's worth the price. To me, music from Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson is hardly worth my time, let alone the price of a CD. However, the song that was played at my wedding (Tripod's Gonna make you happy tonight) is worth the price.

Some people have asked me for a copy of the song so here it is. However, if you really like it and want to share it like we did, please go buy the CD from places like Amazon.com (in fact here's a link to the album). If it plays instead of downloading when you hit the link, right click and hit “Save as…”.

If you just want to hear the song again, here's a video of the song posted on Google Video and a video of part of the song recorded at the wedding.

We're Married

Just got home from Saskatoon and finished unloading a few minutes ago. We're done the getting married part, and now we've started the being married part.

I'll get photos online as soon as I get them and sort through them.

If you have photos to contribute, I've setup a place to recieve them. Send an email to samandcara (at) nugger.net and I'll send you detailed (and/or easy step-by-step) instructions of how to upload them.

Notes from the Bride

Is anyone else getting nervous, excited, can't sleep antisipatory… Well I am all the above. I cannot wait for the day to arrive and I am having trouble sleeping. Where is Morgan and her Gravol when you need her. Anyway, only a week left and I am already beaming. I just wanted to thank everyone for helping, it is greatly appreciated and I really couldn't have done this without you. Tonight is the stag & stagette and I cannot wait. Again with the not sleeping. Well, I am off and running. See you all in one week and counting. 

Gramma and Grampa Durston:

At the present time, we are enjoying wintering in Qualicum Beach BC..  We are housesitting for a gentleman who is in Palm Springs, CA..  We are having fun socializing with everyone that we have met over the years since we have been coming out here.

Today is Saturday and the sun is shining.  It's been raining quite a bit, but it's winter.  They get the rain and Sask gets the snow.  We like the rain better and it's warm here.  The trees are starting to bud and the grass is green. 

We are looking forward to seeing you next month at your Big Day.  Happy (Belated) Birthday Sam.  Hope it was a good one.

Love,

Gramma and Grampa.

Ron and Frieda's 50th Wedding Anniversary Photos

I only managed to upload 26 of the 91 photos I took at Grandma and Grampa's 50th when I first started doing it. After 26 I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Anyway, I discovered a way to upload all of the photos in one swift motion, so I've uploaded all of them.

Click here to go immediately to that section in the photo gallery.

Tell you're friends if they are interested in getting pictures from the event. The pictures are high enough resolution to take to a photo printer.
