Things have been hopping around here since then. After a particularly grueling past few years teaching and coaching football (and baseball this past year), Randy retired from the education circus in May. No more insane commutes and school politics!
Not one to skip a beat, he's kept himself occupied with our bees and mowing, tho with daily rain all summer, he didn't get everything mowed until a couple of months ago... and then the mower conked out.
At the end of summer, Matthew announced his engagement, so we put ourselves in overdrive in more ways than one. We considered ourselves food experts after our bakery days and catering Katie's wedding (actually, her wedding week) and figured this would be a lot easier.
It may have been, had we done just the dinner food both nights and a 'cake.' However, Mr. Retiree insisted on becoming a master wedding cake decorator, and the cakes (yep, cakes) were gorgeous and delicious.
(The groom chose chocolate mint cheesecake. So Randy made TWO.)
We're now on a serious quest to shed some of the experimental pounds....
The wedding (on Thanksgiving weekend) was beautiful and fun, and we love our new daughter-in-law, Jill. Katie took hundreds of gorgeous photos, so we can relive the hoopla as often as we'd like and in our pjs if desired!
In cabin news, it was a busy summer and fall! We've been reminded numerous times what terrific cabineers we have :)
Meanwhile, it's time for Christmas?!? YIKES. That means it's time for the annual Winter Hibernation Special! From now thru March, 2014, nightly rates will drop to $75 for the first two nights and $50 for each additional night. And there's still chocolate!
Cheers to all!
