My daughter called a few weeks back and told me she was going to get married and asked if the wedding could be held outside at my place. She wanted to do a Halloween theme wedding with everyone in costume.

Last night she was over and we were looking the place over to see were to set everything up. We got to discussing decorations. One of the things we wanted to do is to set up a small grave yard.

I have a stack of 4 inch thick styrofoam that I purchased last year, and decided that it would make great tombstones. I set and started playing with the first design...

I thought it made me feel old when my first grandchild was born. I was wrong. Yesterday brought it home in a big way. I had the pleasure of calling my daughter to wish her a happy 21st birthday.

Now before you go asking why I didn't tell her in person, I was working until late last night and she was out with her boyfriend.

Next month I get the pleasure of hosting her wedding at my place. The Saturday before Halloween they are getting married in a costume theme wedding. She is going to be wearing a "Corpse Bride" costume.

If you couldn't have...

Man, I'm sitting here at home, in uniform for work due to the fact that I'm the back up crew tonight. Wishing I was out in Vegas hanging with the crew for the Huckfest.

I guess I will have to settle for the Terre Haute Air Fair tomorrow. Looking forward to watching the full scales do their thing. There is a great line up of pilots including Skip Stewart, Jurgis Kairys, Gene Soucy, and others.
