Wedding Plans


for Aunt Elaine’s son, Johnny and his significant other of several years. They are going to do it cowboy style in Joshua Tree, CA … or parts nearby.
I haven’t seen John since we were both under ten when they came to visit us in Oregon. I had the pleasure of visiting with Billie, his sister, my cousin, the other day in Tonopah, and that was great!
I wish I could make it to the wedding, they are going to wear spurs, denims, and for all I know do the deed on horseback. Mom gets to go.
I hope I get to see some pics, at least. I’m just too busy with school.
Maybe I can slip away for a day, it’s only about a seven-hour drive from here.
I guess they are cleaning the ranch and barns and ranch-house, getting ready for the big to-do. Aunt Elaine is surely helping. I imagine they all are pretty busy finding dust bunnies and setting pantry moth traps.
If I get to go I will see relatives I haven’t seen since childhood and a whole bunch that I have never met. I don’t think I have met even one of Billie’s kids, and by now she has a slew of grandchildren.
Maybe I should make a concerted effort to get there.
Well, I will think about it. It’s in three weeks.
