The Bride: Betty [my sister-in-law]
I took 354 digital photos, about 15 Polaroids, 10 toy camera black and white photos, and 48 regular color film photos!! So, this is just a small sampling! I’ll upload more as I review/edit/develop/scan them. I was the backup/secondary photographer. The official photographer wasn’t able to be there for the whole thing. Hopefully I got a good mix and BJ & Mark are happy with what I did. I kept choking myself; with three cameras wrapped around my neck at one time, lol. It was more fun that I thought.
I was mostly worried about my battery life; but in fact my main concern was memory/film. I ran out of space on my memory card & was down to half a roll of color film during the reception (after the other photographer had left). I still had the speeches, the father daughter dance, and the cake cutting among other things. I kept having to frantically review the photos and my camera and delete the ones that I knew weren’t worth saving. So I probably deleted about 50 photos that were too blurry, had the wrong exposure or setting, or were of something stupid like my foot. HA!
I’ll post more soon. You can view the whole set here as I upload them. There are only about 6 in there now.

Family Vacation this weekend to visit family. I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.

We went to the Farmer’s Market like we do every Saturday. Picked up some asparagus, fingerling potatoes, salad greens, and rhubarb.
We grabbed the puppies and were off to visit my parents. The weather was perfect. A great day. Wednesday and Schuman had soooo much fun running around and jumping in the muddy swamp that sits near the house that they had to get baths before they could come inside.
Now, I’ve never been a rhubarb fan. Probably because I’ve always been such a picky eater, and wouldn’t branch out and try new things. Well…
Today was The Day of Rhubarb. Joe made a Rhubarb Upside-down Cake [Recipe below], and my mom made a Rhubarb Pie. Both were glorious.
AND dinner was just as fabulous. Herbed chicken, grilled asparagus, steamed and statued potatoes, micro-green salad, and sourdough bread from Eugene City Bakery.
We also had a chance to watch Juno again. My parents hadn’t seen it yet. I’m going to try and watch it with the commentary before we have to return it. It is such a great movie!
A day well spent.
