A Lovely Transition

Last week we traveled to Astoria, Oregon to witness, share and celebrate the beautiful wedding of our young friends Kendall and Wade.

Their small town is filled with historical and geographical significance, right on the mouth of the MIGHTY Columbia River:

A dramatic port with many relics of a nautical past:

Like most of the Northwest, Astoria is blessed with an abundance of something we Californians had forgotten, a little thing called "precipitation":

Holy Zeus, GREEN GRASS!

The gorgeous Bride, escorted by the proud Father

There were, of course,  many heart-warming moments;  Joal's excellent story-telling skills made the Father's Toast one of my favorites.

Wade and Kendall dive into Deborah's fabulous PALEO wedding cake.


Suzanne and I are deeply grateful to have shared this life-changing event with you Kendall!  Thanks to Joal and Deborah for all
 the sweet hospitality.  How wonderful to meet young Mesha, and visit with Joph after, what, DECADES?
