THE DEWITT FAMILY: August

Oh those warm, sunny August weddings in Seattle. 2008 must have been wedding year (oh and "baby" year too, just in case you haven't noticed!) We attended Dionne's friend Kristin's wedding held in the beautiful gardens of her parents' home. Dionne was one of the bridesmaids and of course, this was Amya's first wedding...Danielle and her boyfriend Chad were able to fly in from Arizona and join the festivities. Next day the four of us were invited to my dear friend Linda's son's wedding. Our kids grew up together. We danced the afternoon away. We all went to a baseball game and showed Chad, Danielle's wonderful new beau, around Seattle's waterfront. Rock and I flew to Colorado to join in the fun at Susan and Larry's "tepee raising" party and spent a very fun filled week in the Rocky Mountains. We have friends in Keller who have a boat and we were very fortunate to be taken by them all over Lake Roosevelt. They know the area so well that we were shown all the nooks, crannies, inlets and outlets of the "Mighty Columbia". We also had a surprise visit from an old friend and her boyfriend. Thanks for coming Kathy, we had fun. At the end of this very busy month, it was time for Rock to harvest his garlic crop. We now have around 15 varieties of garlic, which loves this semi-arid climate and the warmth of two feet of snow in the winter!
