The ballad of Dusty and Andrea

 We kicked off the wedding of Brian's cousin Dusty by helping make pies for the reception. Dusty's sister Melodie is the Pie Queen but 30-plus pies were too much even for her. We started before 9 a.m. (and Melodie started way before that) and we didn't stop until 1 p.m. (and Melodie was still at it).

 Yeah, it was hot and sticky and B jumped into  the ice-cold McKenzie. On purpose.

Lots of family at the wedding and the setting was lovely, a riverside fishing lodge set up with multiple cabins, hiking trails and gardens. 

We, led by Jess and Shiori and Leah -- who brought the house down dancing every song -- closed down the place, staying until the DJ shut down for the night.
