Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Hatton & Madison Game

I found the pictures I uploaded on Sunday... they were hiding the Canon File...another mystery solved! Beautiful Roses Mark gave me on Sweetest Day

While I made some gluten free sugar cookies for grandma

They were pretty good

Last weekend we went down to Beloit to go to the Madison/Perdue game in Lafette. Dinner Friday night with the Dales at "The Butterfly"

On to the pre-game

Trying to stay warm

Betsy modeling her WI Gear

The Madison Band was at the game... made for a great half-time show and fifth quarter!

Betsy takes every opportunity to learn about technology. Here Patricia shows her how her new Android phone works. (I think Betsy is pretending to understand what she is saying!)

Dick is still enjoying the game at this point!

Not quite so happy now

Mary and Tricia enjoying the game

Dick, not so much

Mark and I showing our colors

Fifth Quarter... most of the Perdue fans had left, but the Madison fans enjoyed the great bands!

Here we are enjoying our own Fifth Quarter... tailgaiting with Mark's new Tailgait Grill!

Of course there was shopping... and Rebecca showed us

some of the great Perdue merchandise available!

Breakfast the morning after... waiting for a table for 13

Betsy looks good with bunny ears!

And here we all are at the table...

A great time was had by all.. and the right team won!

Sunset over Lake Camelot... Home sweet Home!

Roses.... they were gorgeous, and lasted for 2 full weeks!

Maybe that's where the saying, my love is like a red, red rose comes from!

What Happened to August and September?

Lots and lots of stuff happened in late August and September. Here are some pictures from those days, in no order whatsoever.
We attended Anthony and Shilpi's wedding in Charlotte North Carolina over Labor Day weekend. Here they are in their third costume change cutting their cake.

This is from the wedding ceremony... where Shilpi is "walking down the isle" Indian style

On the way home from Charlotte, (I told you these were not in order!) Annie had a chat with Ronald.

This is the gang at Anthony and Shilpi's wedding reception. They were all kind enough to let us sit with them... Thank you!

The Wedding Cake... isn't it pretty?

Annie at the Blessing Ceremony (which occurred the day before the wedding) isn't she beautiful?
