On the back it says IKEA and on the inside of one it said Rachel Duncan, Sweden. I love them!The print size is about 5x7 or a little larger.

Found these four prints at the Elkart Lake Farmer's Market
On the back it says IKEA and on the inside of one it said Rachel Duncan, Sweden. I love them!Asters?
We took a walk through the orchard and down the hill and found many of these in three different colors.
My first tears!
About to help their sister get the wedding dress on and I see the four of them together for the first time-a rare moment for mom!The bridesmaid dress and our gift bags for out of town guests
We had a little Wisconsin (Badgers, Packers, and cheese) and a little Coast Guard.New computer
The school had a nice offer on laptops, so we purchased one and Peter will have it when he is working in Marinette. It is the same computer, but with different features, so I am struggling a bit. I was able to get my Skype account going, so I did get a "call" from Mother while I was on yesterday-scared me half to death. Now, I am trying to find other family members who are "skyping"! I was able to put two new pictures on, and now it is being stubborn. I like the way it presents the pictures, but can't figure out why I can't do anymore! I'll keep trying.
We grew this!
Please note that this melon is sitting on a Heller salad plate, not a dinner plate, therefore the fruit is a mini!Little Farmer fresh wonderful apples
This local orchard uses no sprays or pesticides-they employ aphids and lady bugs. We take all the kindergartners there this Friday, but I couldn't wait and purchased these a couple weeks ago.Sunday, September 19, 2010
After the Wedding!
I have had so much fun looking at everyone else's pictures of Jana and Jared's wedding. Yesterday I went on Snapfish and made a collage of pictures for a postcard-fun! I took pictures too, and will put some on, but I am really looking forward to seeing the ones Jared's aunt and cousin took. They were there early and were still getting pictures as we cleaned up near midnight!
The wedding was wonderful! The weather was incredible-from a three hour delay in Milwaukee because of bad storms in Dallas, to 95 degrees and humid, to perfect perfect weather for the wedding and Mother's birthday celebration on Saturday. We had hot and humid, but Friday and Saturday were 75 ish and no humidity-a nice breeze, blue sky-gorgeous. I was so glad that Haley got some pictures of the sky!!
It was great fun to have all our girls together to celebrate Jana and Jared's marriage. Emily and Jon drove from Colorado Springs with their new puppy Zeb, Haley and Bill flew from Marquette, Michigan, and Jesse from Athens, Ohio ( Eric had to hold down the fort at home and take care of their dogs-missed him!) La Quinta in Weatherford was an amazing place for us all to gather around the pool. Many said it was like being in Lago Vista at Clause grandparents' house. Wonderful to have my two brothers and wives together with my mother. Jeff and Leizl from South Africa and their children Thomas and Lindsey from Austin and brother Tom and his wife Molly bringing my mother from Iowa. Wish Meredith and Hilary could have joined us.
Special guests Linda and Larry Phillips from Marinette, Wisconsin and Joan and Steve Bisset from Laurel, Maryland.
Jana's high school friend Elisa Anderson and her husband Travis, stood up in the wedding and traveled from Marinette as well.

Last day of my summer!
I am sad because today is my last day of summer! Tomorrow morning I have a mentoring meeting with Julie, my mentee. She was my student teacher three years ago, so I am excited to help her through her first year. She is amazing! Laurie and Holly are coming to see the house and go out for lunch. We are going to a funky little place in Sheboygan Falls. Thursday and Friday we have more meetings and work in our buildings, and Monday and Tuesday more of the same. Sneak Peek is Tuesday night and the first day is Wednesday, September 1.

We went to Laura and Andrew Bloomquists' wedding in Madison yesterday. You can view pictures of the wedding at http://www.laura-andrew.wenphotos.com/ So far these are just pictures taken in Chicago for their engagement book, etc. I imagine there will be the wedding photos soon. Jesse everyone says hello and they miss you. Matzkes, Bennetts, Jim and Jean, Erin, Sophie, Jenna, Kristy and Laura!
Table favors-mints
I had vegetarian offering-thus the green ribbon. Dad had the steak, and there was a chicken dish. Mine was portabella mushroom, rice, and cheese in a puff pastry, baked tomato with good topping, and a mixed vegetable. Great apple, walnut, blue cheese, spring greens salad. Did I say that the cake was really good!Erin Webb and her words for Laura and Andy
Erin says, "Where's Jesse? I really miss her!"She was very disappointed that you weren't there.
