Busy week, lots going on
Last weekend I went to Weirton WV for Heather and Kevin's wedding reception, part two. We had planned on having a long weekend away, but Terri had to stay and help with Pop and Dink. Here's the sign that greeted me as I arrived
It was a good time, but unfortunately my flash didn't "do right" and this was the best picture I got of the happy couple. Sorry about that, it was a lot of fun and good to see the newlyweds. Kevin is getting ready to go to Iraq in a few weeks and we wish him the best. BTW, he is now Captain Kevin Riley.

GUD was there; here is rewarded with a sugar cube after doing a really swell trick

Went by Gettysburg on the way and the way home, took this picture from Cemetery Hill as the 145th anniversary of the battle neared.

On to the weekend of the Fourth, and also Jay's 28th birthday on the 5th. Pretty sunset from the new deck

Cooper strikes a thoughtful pose as he wonders about the uncertain mental condition of his grandfather

Terri sneaked out to take this surprise shot of the other Captain and his grandson. In case you are wondering about the spots on the picture, we were watching the irrigation system.......yes, another activity we Southerners enjoy; often we applaud after the performance

It's the night of the Fourth, and as Jackson explained, "we Americans like to celebrate by blowing up something." Jackson demonstrated this is an interpretive dance pictured below

Earlier that day we went to the Weinholds for a great lunch, but the wind blew us home earlier than planned.

Another shot of the best little grandson in the world; Cooper was a lot of fun
