Wedding pictures, time at the beach

The picture on the right side was taken by the beach in Puerta Plata. It took us 2 hours by bus and we laid on the beach for 10 minutes then the sun hid under the clouds--needless to say none of us got a tan and we returned home just as we arrived :-). But we had a great time!

the other pictures are family at the wedding. upper middle names: Josu, Rudy, Maria, Ambiorix, Kari, Nick (our son who lives in Boston), Victoria, and Daniel. We had a great time meeting some of Ambiorix's family-even though language was a barrier.

It was a very beautiful wedding and a great time.

Christmas, Wedding, New Year!!

Where does time go?! Christmas tree and decorations all put away for another year! Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and I wish for you all a Very Happy New Year!!

A highlight of our Christmas was our daughter's wedding in the Dominican Republic, December 18th. We left for Chicago on the 16th at 2AM and arrived in the DR at 8:30 that night. Life doesn't stop in the DR. We went out for supper at 9 PM and celebrated Daniel's birthday at the home of Ambiorix's mom and arrived back at the motel at almost 2 AM! The weather there was PERFECT!! We left Cedar Grove 13 degrees and about 5 inches of snow on the ground, arrived in the DR 75 degrees -everything lush green, flowers everywhere! It was sooooooo beautiful! I would love to show you my pictures -just ask when you come into the shop. It was a shock coming back December 20th to 5 new inches of snow dressed in sandals. :-) We have lots of great memories. The picture above was taken at Ambiorix's uncle's house. This is where the wedding was held and his family did a fantastic job decorating and with the food! It truly was beyond our expectations. Thank you so much Ventura family. The picture was taken in the outside courtyard of the house. And the temperature was about 76 degrees :-)!

Now to get back to work. During the months of January and February, we will again have finish projects month. Come into shop to finish knitting your projects on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Enjoy sitting by the stove/fireplace enjoying great conversations working on your knitting projects. OR start a new project to get a head start on your next Christmas presents.

Wow, I really can't believe it is almost Christmas!! This will be an eventful season for us. Our daughter, Kari, is getting married the 18th in the Dominican Republic and we will be traveling there December 16th and staying until the 20th (not long enough BUT better than not at all). Please pray for good weather both for flying and here on the farm and shop. We are getting excited! This is the first time my husband, Mark and son, Daniel, have traveled out of the country.

Our son, Nick who lives in Boston, will meet us there. I wish Jon & Hannah & kids could also come with us to truly be a family vacation but................not so. It will be an exciting experience!! Also, when it is in the 20's here, it is in the 70's-80's in Santiago :-). One day we will spend at the beach!!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!! The time there will go way too fast!

The shop will remain open -Rhonda will be here Thurs, Fri, and Sat. and Wendy will be here on Monday. My mom & dad will also be here so come by to say "hi" --my dad is always ready to visit :-)!!!!

I hope this is a very Blessed Christmas Season for you all as we remember the true reason for the season.
