oh, the news!

For those of you who aren't family, I will let you know that something exciting happened last night. My dad got married. My mom died 4 years ago and dad was very self sufficient but we knew he was lonely. Dad met Ann because they both bowled on the same days. They have been "friends" for about 2 years but didn't tell us the truth (although we guessed it). Finally, in June, he proposed but they both have been very secretive and would not tell anyone when this would happen. I had a really good idea that it would be happening this weekend, due to a variety of questions that I had asked. They didn't want a big wedding so they went to dads church last night and had his minister marry them. My aunt and uncle were there as witnesses. Then they proceeded to call us all. We are very happy for them both, although we would really have loved to have been there to see it too. We are working on fixing up dads house. Meanwhile, they'll be living at Ann's house. We'll be going to dads on Wednesday to paint the bedroom. I'm sure we'll have pictures of the progress.
Today, my family is leaving for a weekend camping trip. We're going to try some canoeing on the river by the campground. It sounds like warm weather. I'll try to get some good pictures - hopefully not of being being flipped over in the canoe!!
