Matthew, my 29 year-old, got married in Olympia on the weekend of August 28th, and I got to officiate at the ceremony using my Universal Life Church credentials.
We spent a few days doing chores around the house and yard. Mary got a chance for a quick flight to Orcas Island, and we really appreciated our time with Mary’s cats Franny and Lester and our malamute Nikita.
The wedding went well. Matt and I collected driftwood on the beach below his house, and we erected an arbor in a beautiful field on the 800 acre farm next door to Matt and Tiffany’s house. People walked to the site of the ceremony across a field and through a beautiful ravine and creek area. Tiffany arrived at the ceremony in a classic old pick-up truck. The ceremony was short and sweet, and Matt and Tiffany hosted the reception at their house well into the night. Late the next day they were off to the Mayan Riviera for their Honeymoon. We had a great lunch with family members Tammy, Adele, Bill, Audry, Jack and Nancy the day after the wedding.
It was interesting to take a break from the road trip. It was nice to be home and see family and friends and get caught up on some chores and paperwork, but it was also really nice to get back to our relatively simple and compact world on the road. Everything we need is with us all the time. There is no yard work and when a storm heads our way, we adjust course and take a different path.
