Wedding Day

Linda fixed breakfast and after we ate, I called Gaddie-Shamrock to have a load of gravel delivered. The person that answered said all their trucks were busy in Columbia and he didn't know if they could deliver a load. I reminded him he told me to call that day to get a load. He said they would try to get it delivered. I hung up and went to bush hog the area around where the mums will be planted later. Linda called me on the FS Radio and said they were on their way with the gravel. I returned home and waited on the truck which arrived in about 15 minutes. The driver backed up to the front of the hay shed and dumped the 22 tons of gravel. I had said I would spread it out. He drove away and I started the tractor and went back to the mum patch to finish the bush hogging. Once done I put the tractor back in the hay shed and went inside, grabbed the check book and went and paid for the gravel. I came back home and entered the transaction into Quicken and an IM from Brent came through. He was writing that Pauline and him had been married at 9:17 AM in Brownsville. WOW!

He wrote they were going to come over after looking at a car in Glasgow. I told Linda and Stacey what had happened and they came inside and watched a short movie of the wedding that Brent had placed on the internet. Linda and Stacey went back out and were working on planting flowers in the whiskey barrels and potting plants to set around the house. I went to the hay shed with the tractor and used the scoop to start spreading the gravel. Mr & Mrs Brent Norris arrived a little later. We congratulated them and welcomed Pauline to our family with hugs and giggles. They were excited and we were happy for them. Brent was also trying to make a car deal with the Chevy Dealer in Glasgow, but wasn't sure about the price they were offering for his Sunfire. We talked a while about the choices, he made a decision, and then decided to call the dealer back and buy the car. He called and they agreed on a price and he will pick the new car up Saturday. I asked Brent to help me level some cement blocks near the hay shed before I spread the gravel completely around the front of the hay shed. Later, when the diesel fuel tank is emptied, I will set the tank on those blocks. After that we took the dogs down to the creek and let them run wild for a while. Pico had been in the creek, so I decided to 'dunk' Poco. I tossed him in gently and he came swimming out just like a 'farm dog'. Poco seems to think he is a 'farm dog' anyway, he wants to hang out with Cooter and run with the big dog, even though he is a small chihuahua. We ended the evening by going to town to eat.
