Wedding and a Visit

 Last weekend the daughter of a family we have known for many years was married.  Her oldest sister was Elizabeth's maid of honor when she was married.  She just graduated from Biola University in S. Cal., while he will continue with his studies.  I understand he plans on becoming a medical missionary.  It was at a park in Brea, in S. Calif.  The setting was very romantic.  They said their vows over looking the lake.  The table on the dock was where they took communion while we sang.  Very nice! 

 We first went to Ojai to visit with Keith.  We ended up setting up a tent and sleeping outside, on an airbed of course.  I tried to get a reservation and could not find any hotels that offered any rooms within a reasonable price anywhere close by.  Come to find out it was graduation weekend for UC Santa Barbara and over 4,000 people were expected to attend, thus all the affordable rooms were booked (probably some months in advance).  Had I known  that I would have started looked earlier, as we have known about the wedding for months.  But we did not know Keith was going to have to move so we would have booked in Santa Barbara at a hotel we usually stay at.  It worked out and we had a good weekend.

Elizabeth came down to go with me to the wedding, and she brought Winston with her.  He preceded to torment Sugar, who spent his time in the closet.  The cat is bigger then Winston and all he had to do was stare and Winston would have backed away.  However, since Keith just moved to this place the cat is still being kept inside and is a little fearful of the move and us. After we left Keith said he came out of the closet.

 The day after the wedding we went to a place called "Pete's Cafe" in Ventura for breakfast (Father's Day).  It was a place we saw on "Diner's, Drive-In's and Dive's" on the food channel. We enjoyed it.

 Liz came  with us, and after breakfast we went to a couple of beach parks where Elizabeth took a series of engagement pictures for them.  They also took some at a park in Ojai and around where Keith lives.

 Winston got his very first visit to a beach and wasn't to sure he liked the ocean waves.  I guess when you are that small even small waves look huge plus the water was cold, after all it is the Pacific Ocean.

 Keith slept on an airbed inside, the girls slept in the bed and we slept on an airbed in the tent I mentioned earlier.  We will be getting a new airbed soon, the one we used had a slow leak in it.  When he blew it up I remembered it and didn't realize we still had it.  I slept on it camping when I was pregnant with Elizabeth 26 years ago.  It leaked then.  When we both were on the bed it was OK, only when one of us got up did we then feel the cement under us. It did get more air put in it the next night before we retired.  We were only there 2 nights so it was bearable for these bones.
