Signing the license

I look back at these pictures and can hardly believe it's all over and Amanda and Paul are married! It was such a fun day and all went so well!

Full House of Grandkids

Aapo (Jen's)
Cale (Emily's)

It was a busy weekend. All the kids and grandkids were here except Jon, Paul and Jane. It made for a full house but it was sure lots of fun! Sara left early Sunday morning, Matt & Emily left late Sunday morning and Jen and Mark left about noon Monday. Kirsten (Emily's)

Paul & Amanda's Wedding

eta: I didn't realize the picture below of our family was one without Paul so here is one with him! and the picture of Paul's family wouldn't enlarge when you clicked on it so I posted another.

I've been trying all day to post pictures of the wedding. I was finally able to get them to post when I uploaded one at a time.

Beautiful Charlotte Ann

Thought I'd post a picture of this little princess. Bill brought Lynette and baby to Matt and Lori's reception for a bit. Will post more reception pictures tomorrow.

How Clean It is

Stanley Steemer came to visit me today. That was awesome! He left me with some very nice clean carpets. He arrived a little before nine and was gone by 10:10! While here he cleaned my living room and hallway, upstairs steps and hallway, boys bedroom and our bedroom. I've rented a steamer in the past and let me tell you, in that hour I'd have barely been set up to get started! It cost a little more than doing it myself but surprisingly not all that much more. Unfortunately, they are quite wet and we do not have A fan in this house. Hopefully they will not take too long to dry.

Pecan-Crusted Salmon

I found this recipe in The Taste Of Home's new three ring cookbook. It was delicious! Even my kids ate it because they didn't know the coating had pecans since I put the pecans in my nut grinder. It was quick and easy.

PECAN-CRUSTED SALMON

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 cups milk
1 cup finely chopped pecans
½ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Place salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag; add milk. Seal bag and turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes; drain

Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine the pecans, flour, brown sugar, seasoned salt and pepper. Coat fillets with pecan mixture, gently pressing into the fish.

In a large skillet, brown salmon in oil over medium-high heat. Transfer to a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 4 servings
