David & Isha's Reception

In January David and Isha were married in Canada.  Since most of us here in PA weren't able to attend the wedding, they had a reception down here a few weeks ago.   The food was delicious and we all enjoyed a fun evening full of fellowship and laughter.

 

Uncle Jon was a great MC.

He had a game called "The Newleyweds Game" 



Uncle Jon asked the wives to leave while he asked the men 5 questions about their wives.



Then the wives came back in and had to guess what answer their husbands had given to describe them. 



If you wanted the couple to kiss, instead of clanging silverware you had to
sing a song with the word "Love" in it or share a memory of David and Isha.

 Thanks to Rosie for sharing her pictures with me!  Mom and I helped serve so I didn't get as many as I thought. :) You know how that goes! :)

Stepping Stones

Thursday afternoon we had a very fun Keepers meeting at Aunt Jeanine's house.

We made stepping stones for our gardens!
We started off with a short prayer and a few quotes about being stepping stones.
 

59-0419A  - And may all my mistakes in life only be a stepping-stone to others, that would bring them closer to Thee. Grant it, Lord.

60-0403  - Guide my feet; hold my hand, Lord.  May I never become a stumbling block to anyone, but may I be a stepping stone to every wayfaring traveler.

 deciding what we wanted on our stones... pebbles, gems, shells, etc.

Shady Maple Shopper Savings!

Check out this huge grocery cart at our local farm market!

A few weeks ago this mobile cart was parked out front...four passengers can sit in the basket and the driver stears from the top!

 

 

...but now it's in the Shady Maple foyer and full of all sorts of paper goods!

 If you guess the correct retail price of all the groceries in the cart...you win them!

So of course, every trip to the grocery store finds those age 12+ in our family guessing!

 

 Daddy has estimated how many of each product there are and then he and his helpers went to the paper goods aisle and got the prices of the items to help make an educated guess :) 

 

 Mom took these pictures on her phone so that's why they aren't the clearest.

What do you think the retail value is of this cartful of paper products?

Leave your guess in a comment!  :)
