Honeymoon is over. We had a beautiful wedding – 75 or so people in the big barn, dogs in attendance, great and loving friends. We did it our way, and it was nice. We exchanged vows, heard messages from the people who knew us, had a brief reception and took off for a short honeymoon. Sad to be back, although had a happy reunion on the path with the dogs.

The marriage and ceremony was a great affirmation of life and I am much blessed. My daughter Emma was best man and we both choked up on our vows. Felt like coming to shore. Got a lot of mail, e-mail, farm chores, etc. More later.
