Wedding River

Hi everyone,
I am calling this July 12th Monday morning the wedding river. Seems as tho I am in the midst of a raging river ride down stream in a lovely canoe... All is well. I am safe and sound, the boat is sturdy and I have the guidance available to make a safe journey, and it has been a very good trip so far. a few bumps and a little rapid here and there, but that is the way most river rides are, ! Let me share a few statistics with you. I have completed (I think) now about 27 events, that is anything over 200.00 wedding, graduation party, shower, anniversary, etc. We have now booked our 65th. The Lord is responsible for this success. Praise Him, this is amazing. I had no idea it would take off like this, . How great is our Lord to bless The Dutch Tulip with this much business. People just walk in ! I am so happy. It is really really great, Thanking Him for my ability to continue to be creative and to continue to offer a new idea incorporating the brides wishes.
To say the very least, I am Soooo Excited !

Things on the homefront are terrific as well. Holly and Mike are settling in to their new home, Mikes grandpa's farm. Discussions of a marriage are everywhere, but still no ring and no definite plans. They have a new puppy , and I find myself totally and utterly infatuated with her. She is a Golden Retriever. Her name is Golden Easter's Lily of Calcutta Farms. Her name is Lily. and affectionately known as "lily bean". Precious Precious Precious.
Holly begins her student teaching experience at Canfield High School in September. We are really excited about that as well. How 3 years of college has just flown by. Now her senior year is upon us....
Life happens so fast.

Kenny is good, He has been called back to work 3 days a week , another Blessing ! Another Praise, he is doing well and so glad to be part of the work force around here, I am happy for him.

The animals are all fine . Todays statistics, 1 duck, 7 hens, 2 Baa ba ba baaaadd ddd dd goats, 2 dogs and 5 cats. a noisy coccatiel and a fish tank that needs attention.
Life is better than it has been in years, We are happy and not so stressed. Life is good !
Love to you this day.
