Descriptions of pictures below

Well, I managed to get the pictures direct from Picasa but could not put in any copy. First one is Tom, Pat and Dr. Steven in the Church. Second is the enormous group shot of the whole family. It does not happen often that you can get whole clan together. Third is the happy bride and groom Stephen and Camilla. A fine time was had by all and as is usual, the Shipleys are gracious hosts. I brought the camera but Dad took the pictures. I have no claim to fame on this one. Ones here are Brian and Clare (maid of honor) and Missouri Botanical Gardens.
Dad and I drove the bride and groom to the reception in the Windstar (rather informal)

Stephen Shipley wedding, St. Louis, Mo

 

And more grandchildren - 17 in all

Well, it has been a time but I am now ready to try and keep up with my children. Weather here in Roswell has finally gotten a little better. It will only go to 90 degrees today and that is surly better then 101. Nephew Stephen (Dr. Shipley) is getting married this weekend in St. Louis and Dad and I are going on Thursday. It will be nice to see my sister and her family at a celebration. The birthday party for James Dalton was a big success. You could see him blowing at the balloons and having great fun with his Dad and friends. I think Kat was on camera and was not as visible as we would have liked. She did a good job. If the sound had come thru, it would have been good but you take what you can get.
This picture is of the Jim-Ann Maiers at the beach in NJ on vacation.
