Brunch at the Bride's parent's house

Jan 8, 2017

Yesterday, I took "Uber".  Uber is a substitute for a taxi.  Independent drivers can use their own car and on their own schedule, choose to sign up with the Uber system, many work part time to earn extra income.  You can down-load an App on your phone put in your payment information (they accept debit cards, Pay Pal etc..)  and when you are ready, call for an Uber driver.  There were usually several in the area within 4 minutes away, a driver responds, they give you the name and license and type of car, and picture of the driver, you choose to accept or not.  They arrive, you don't have to exchange money unless you want to tip.  Worked great! ( I am going to church with my Uber driver from Friday).

I didn't have the address of the Bride's parents house but I knew it was in the same neighborhood as the house where my Sister was staying.  So I went there, and since I knew they had lived in the same neighborhood for years, I asked a neighbor and they directed me to the house, two doors away, perfect!

They had a beautiful home, and a catered brunch which was delicious.  They had a large landscaped patio with a large round table with a gas fire pit in the middle.  looked like beautiful clear and gold rocks, (glass rocks) when the gas was turned on, it provided heat and a nice cozy place to fellowship around the "fire table".  I got to fellowship and get to know the family and those at the wedding.  It was great!

The Bride and Groom were even there for a while.  I stayed until about 3:30 and connected with several of my new "Family", this time some were "blood" relatives. The Brides family is very close and they like each other.  I got a chance to spend some time with the Father and he is remarkable, an inventor and engineer.  He developed a "mini bar code scanner."

The Groom's son, lives in Idaho, one of the Grooms Woman (worked with the Groom in Idaho and still lives there), I found out that one of my friends that I planned to visit in Flagstaff, AZ. moved to Spokane, WA. (near Idaho) and yesterday I got an email from a Grade School friend I was trying to locate near Phoenix, AZ.  She had moved to Idaho, lives on  five acres and has RV hookups at their house. Wow, that is a lot of Idaho to ignore, that sounds like it will be a part of my travel plans when the weather gets better there.

I don't think I told you about the Wedding party.  It was interesting because I had never heard of "Grooms Woman", "Best Woman" and "Man of Honor", "Brides Man" before but it makes so much sense.  The Wedding party was made up of;  boy, girl, boy, girl, boy girl, (6 on each side of the Bride & Groom at the Wedding).  The Brides Son was her Man of Honor, then she had Bridesmaid,  Bridesman, (her brother) etc..  The Groom had a Best Woman (real good friend and Co-worker from Idaho) Groomsman and Grooms woman (his Sister), etc... Very interesting and nice!

I got a ride back with the Groom's Step Sister and her husband, and my great Nephew (Groom's Son) on the way to take him back to the Airport.  They came in and looked at the RV before they left.
