• Ads

  I have only been a member of Xanga for the past 7 months or so, and not a very regular contributor during that time.  One of the things that has slowed me down is the advertisements that are posted along side of this blog.  I don’t quite know how to handle them, other than going premium….and I know that is just what they want me to do. I don’t want people to be reading reverent thoughts, or anything, and have those pop up along side!   However, recently, the ads have at times been risque, and I don’t appreciate it.  I notice that most people whose Xanga site I read must have paid, since they don’t have advertisements…So I know it isn’t much, but it’s the principle of the thing.  (I have heard that when people say “It’s not the money, it’s the principle of the thing”, that it is always the money!  But in this case, it is the principle..
     Anyway, this last weekend, I went to Delaware to the wedding of my nephew Jared to Amber Swartzentruber  –there in Dover.  Had a really good time in visiting with everybody, and even got to play golf with my cousins Mark and Clinton, along with brother Paul.  So it was especially good.  Here are some of the pictures from that getaway.  It was a good wedding, very meaningful.

  Doesn’t this remind you of the wedding supper of the Lamb?

  
  Katie and Delores–two of the servers.  Katie is cousin Lois (Yoder) Ulrich’s daughter, and Delories is married to my nephew Conrad
