Dave & Parla’s Wedding
On our way to Dave & Parla’s wedding we took Angie’s two sisters, Lora & Joanne with us to Virginia. They were fun and helped to break up a long drive.
Parla is my niece, daughter of my sister Barbara & Terry and Dave is a Sonifrank.
These cousin ushers had a good time together.
We aunts also had a good time together. We sang one song, “When We All Come Together” at the reception. It brought back memories of Paul’s and my wedding. I had my 4 younger sisters as bridesmaids and they sang that same song as we all walked up the isle. Then some of them also used the song in their weddings.
Sheila, Hannah, and Sheri sang a few songs too. They sounded so beautiful together.

Dave & Parla had a corner at the reception fixed up for people to take their pictures with hats and glasses. That was fun too!
Cousins after the pose.
Coleen and I were so glad to meet Nona. She was a Sonifrank and we worked with her at Park View Press in Harrisonburg doing typesetting and layout back in the 1970′s. Park View Press was where the CLP headquarters is located.
Paul and I had a good bed & breakfast and spent our time with Father & Mother. She is a wonderful hostess.
Here’s Oren Jr. discussing something with Father.
Like I said, Mother is a good hostess. She makes to best vegetable soup!
Father has always enjoyed this walnut tree. Someone offered him $60 for it soon after we moved there and he wouldn’t take it. And he’s so glad he didn’t. He takes pride in that tree.
He fixed us a swing on the bottom branch off to the right. I remember laying on my stomach and winding up tight and then holding my feet up so that I’d spin real fast unwinding.
I know it was funny, real funny!
We drove up to Oren Jr & Cheryls and saw where he’s putting up 2 chicken barns.

Cheryl had this quilt hanging on a wall above the steps. I remember her working on it at sewing retreat last winter.
This quilt was hanging over a short wall. It is a Farmer’s Delight made by Grandmother Vera Heatwole. Oren Jr. bought it from an antique store and surprised Cheryl with it.

Julia what a delightful post! I talked to Barbara today and she said that Parla and Dave are packing their stuff up and ready to head out for a three day drive to their new home in Canada!
I love the picture of you with Father and Mother. It is SoooooooooooooooGooooooooooooood!
You brought back some good memories talking about that swing. I remember pumping so high that the swing would jerk as it tell. I also remember a fall I took and mother said she really thinks I broke my arm but the bones knitted back together and they didn’t have to waste money on a doctor bill. As a youngster my arm was a little crooked but I don’t notice it now.
Glad you got the pictures of Orenie, and all of Cheryl’s quilts.
I do believe Sheila is yawning wide on that one picture of you all laughing. An evening I missed out on. Bummer. Love, ~Polly~
