Phil & Stef's Wedding

    On Saturday October 5th in Erie PA at 2:00pm we gained another daughter-in-law. We traveled 6 hours to Erie on the 4th and checked into the Courtyard Marriot Bayfront. It was cold and cloudy and we headed to St. Jude's church for the rehearsal and then to the Erie Yacht Club for the dinner. Stef's dad was very friendly and welcoming and I paid for the evening meal. The next morning Jane got her hair done with the wedding party and we prepared for pictures outside the hotel and then off to the wedding. Silas was the ring bearer and the ceremony was  well done with bubbles greeting the couple after the church cleared out. The reception was in Riley NY about 30 miles away at Quincy Cellars Winery on a sunny warm day. We all had a great time and danced, enjoyed the cookie table and sparkler sendoff. The following morning we had a farewell send off breakfast at the Sheraton where we had to cross the sky walk to get there before we left for home at noon. Phil's job has now moved him to Louisiana and he and Stef are getting back from their over the weekend honeymoon in Cancun. Two weeks before the wedding I attended my 50 class reunion. On Friday night there was a get together at the Crown Plaza and then the Grand Ledge Country Club Saturday. I talked to people I really never knew in High School and reconnected with some good friends and had a good time reminiscing.  On the Thursday I met up with Gabor and we went out to Cheddars as he was staying at an Airbnb on Nugget  which was 3 houses from where our senior class float was built. The school year has been going on with the new required scheduled visits to Winans, Colt, and the Middle School for IEP's. I don't mind going over to Winans but am not in favor of this as it does not have a practical value for as many times as they want to do it and I hate going to the MS.  Heather Foster's husband Mark died the end of August and Jane and I went to his funeral at Riley Funeral Home and then Cadgewith Farms for a dinner afterward. Impeachment is in the air and seems more deserving each dumb thing the stable genius does and says!
