From Colorado to Disney Lane

No, not a misprint....that's Spencer and Libby's address! And the wedding was Disneyland, for sure, beginning with the food.... Then there was the over-the-top traditional (?) dance for the groom and his mother, which was a swing dance...go Murray!!!

90 degrees for this outdoor event in San Jose....




But Fr. Scott Kidd kept it short and sweet.










Check out Amy and Harry in the wedding entourage. New baby David was also in the audience.


The rehearsal dinner was a Southern BBQ plus Mac & Cheese and Banana pudding all by Mary under an arbor that was so cleverly done it was hard to describe. Decorations and sweet tea also by the Slider clan.





Must have been about 80 guests, thanks to Spencer's all-call on Facebook!







Rehearsal featured a LOT of Georgians!








And our old friend, Father Scott.










Meanwhile, scenes from the trip to San Jose, along the Loneliest Road in America, US 50 through Utah and Nevada. These are autographs from the entertainers who have performed at the Eureka Opera House in Austin, one of the few stops on said road.











Also in Austin, another tiny stop, met the bottleman who collects (and makes a nice pile of loot on) antique bottles which he and the other collectors in town (everybody) find by researching old towns, employing below-ground radar to locate and excavate old privvies. A lot more to this story, but it will keep. Suffice it to say, he has made enough on his 'occupation' to buy 2 turquoise mines and he sells jewelry as well as bottles. Doesn't everyone?























The Eureka Operah House features about 18 major acts per year.













Kayaking in Clear Creek alongside our campground in Golden, Colo., a really pretty town!













Which also features a nearby pioneer village across the creek.
