Spa Day for the Girls!!

Tammy treated all of us girls to a spa day.
We all got our fingernails and our toenails painted. It was a very fun way to spend the morning, complete with mamosas and snackies!!
The little girls getting their toes done!

Melody's turn to get her nails painted


Violet giggling while she's getting her feet massaged!

Gerri Ann was Tammy's Matron of Honor

Heather, Tammy's bridesmaid, is Rob's sister, and Tammy and Heather spent a lot of time together growing up.

This is the day my daughter Tammy got married to her best friend Rob Coates.

She shares this anniversary with her grandmother (my mother), who is no longer with us, born on this day in 1921. 


We all got our hair done on the morning of the wedding.

On our way to Alberta for my daughters wedding.....😍😂💗

Stopped for a two night-stay at Dennis and Nolas (our good friends' home in Spillimacheen) along the way.

We are always thankful for their hospitality. This is a picture from their sun deck overlooking the Columbia River. 


 
Nola is a partner in the newly opened (a couple of years ago now) Spilli Cafe.
This is where she and Nancy put in their time. It is a great cafe, always busy, so that must mean that the food is great. 








We haven't had the pleasure of eating there because Nola always cooks for us at her home. This is a picture of the outside of the cafe. 
And this is Nola, the chief cook and bottle washer!!



We took a little trip into Golden this time, toured the little city and had lunch. I haven't been to Golden in many, many moons!!



Thank you again for your hospitality and a great visit!!
