Wow! It's been awhile since I have updated
this blog! It is already the very end of October and I don't know where the months have gone! This was a busy
month for me. I went to the first family reunion that I have gone to in over 40 yrs and met 65 "new" cousins!
By new, I mean ones that I had never met before from my mom's Norwegian side of the family. We were very fortunate to
have 4 members of the family actually come over from Norway for this visit! We had a wonderful time and I am so happy
that I come from such a nice family! My great Grandfather was a blacksmith (as was one of my grandfathers and at least
one of my great uncles) and I was able to actually see the building that was originally built in approximately 1905
for his shop. Another cousin had a picture of GG standing in the doorway of the shop! Amazing!
I just came back from shooting wedding pictures for a friend in Pennsylvania
and had a wonderful time there AND the pictures turned out terrific! I am so pleased with them and am anxious to start
making her wedding scrapbook (my gift to them), but that will have to wait for a few weeks.
Our fall color seemed to take a long time to kick in, but we finally
got some beautiful color before all the leaves fell off.
There were still lots of leaves on the trees in Penn. and their color
was just gorgeous!
I hope you all have a very safe Halloween night, a thankful and warm
Thanksgiving day with your families and hope to see many of you for the Dresden Christmas parade festivities the first weekend
in December.
Hugs,
Rachel
