Dodson Wedding

The "Dodson Family West," as Laurie likes to call it, celebrated a wedding this month. Cousin Joanne tied the knot with Doug in a Luau-style wedding in Palm Dessert, CA. We had never been to that section of California, close to Palm Springs, and it was a very pleasant trip for us! The ceremony and reception were beautiful and unique. Laurie's Great Uncle Bob, who is a minister, performed the ceremony. It's great to have a piece of family out here on the west coast!

Home for the Holidays!

Most of Decemeber was spent preparing for this trip! We departed LA on Saturday the 22nd and returned January 5th. In between we took a whirlwind tour of Pennsylvania, trying to see as many people and places as possible in two weeks. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you'll find a novel if you take a look at the following links. Many thanks to Marky (aka Santa) for the scanner!
