Day: July 26, 2025

Cheyenne and Renee met at the Rosetown Ramblers square dancing club, and they invited Matt and me to their wedding. It was held at the Nordic House, which was a lovely venue.

The brides:

The Nordic House, of course is also the home of the Ole Bolle Troll, which Matt and I went to say hi to.

There was a delicious dinner, and then there was strawberry shortcake.

But also with a small cake for cake cutting.

Cheyenne and Renee invited 16 Ramblers, enough to fill two tables, and we had a grand time.

Jason and gerry

Jeff mugs for the camera.

Susan and John talk.

Jim, Eileen, and Matt made up the rest of our table.

As was befitting a couple who met while square dancing, there was a community square dance.

The whirling nature of the pictures had to do with the light (the sun had set) but also probably reflects the three glasses of wine I had drunk.

I had a really good time at this wedding.

While Stephanie North was painting my bedroom, I got to work adding hooks to the 2x4s Burt installed during our Unwrecking Crew session.

I placed each tool in a spot in hopes that everything would fit.

With some overlap, it did, all except for the tree pruner.

I had to add two more 2x4s bits to the very top to get the final things up.

Then I swept everything clean and things are looking quite tidy.

I’m very pleased with the project.

Matt attended another protest, with this new sign: If there’s money for raids, there’s money for Medicaid

He found out that using the dollar sign for money and the numeral four in succession caused confusion. People read it as four dollars rather than money for.

This sign was from a previous protest, but you don’t want to leave a blank side.
