I made reservations for hotels on the way, while we were in Spokane, and on our way home. All in all, they were good choices, esp. where we stayed in Spokane.
So, Saturday, before the rehearsal, and dinner following for my son, Adam's wedding, we were invited to the community pool near Maja's parents. Yes, it was hot out, and the pool was refreshing, though not everyone got in. Too bad!
Then , the rehearsal was @ the university building upstairs, three flights, in the chapel, as there was a wedding taking place @ the church. No air-conditioning! upper 90's!
Afterwards, we were invited to Maja's parents, Priscilla and David, for lasagna, salad, garlic bread, cheese, grapes, and pie/ice cream. Again, no air-conditioning! They were re-modeling their house, and the air-conditioner went up. Who could have guessed it would have been that warm this weekend? But we all survived the heat, and had a good time. They were so warm(no pun intended), and welcomed us all. I really felt comfortable with all of them.
We relaxed in the hotel pool the next day in the morning, before the wedding which was scheduled @ 3pm. We were asked to be there @ 1pm for pictures. And believe it or not, it was 107 degrees that day, and not air-conditioning in the church, or in the room that was use
As we waited in church, for the Mass t0 begin, my batteries went dead, and I couldn't take any more pictures. I could just kick myself for not being prepared with extra batteries. So I have to depend on my daughters getting some good photos of the couple, and pics of the reception.
More about that later.
