3 weddings and no funeral

Okay, the omens must be good for August 5th. Here when we had fair warnings from back home to keep JULY opened for 2 weddings, we did just that but haven't booked airfare to Hawai'i. We committed to Konia's son's wedding on August 5th. A few months ago my brother called to say that my niece Diane is planning to get married on August 12 instead of in July. My mom booked her flights from Las Vegas. Wes booked his vacation for 2 weeks in July. Then in April when I called my brother he said she changed the date to August 5th because of school, but one of his twin sons set their wedding date for August 12th! Today we received an actual invitation to the other wedding we planned to go to in July and that one is dated for.... guess when??--August 5th!

Those are the weddings we were to keep dates open for. When the school and church people send out invites, it will be 4 weeks before the actual dates, so I expect more invites in the next few weeks!

I think we're not going to make a trip to Hawai'i this summer but plan to attend family reunion next summer. We'll just do a couple of road trips maybe up into Canada or something. There are several places in the Western US that I'd like to see--the Crazy Horse monument near Rushmore, I thought of rafting down through the Grand Canyon (a 2 week trip) but I did the class 4 water a couple of years ago and it was pretty scary. I can't imagine doing that for 2 weeks, without a shower, no bathrooms, etc. I'd also like to go to Yosemite. I guess we'll just have to see where we end up
