The Wedding Dress

Although we left for home on Monday morning, the girls and their families were staying another day at their dad's place - and Nadine had invited Kenzie and Aleah up to try on the "dress".  Nadine is our collector of antiques and anything relating to our history and she has preserved the wedding dress of my great-grandma which would be the grandkids', great-great-grandmother.

Nadine loves to have any girls in the family, come to her house when they are 12 or 13 and try on the dress so she can take pictures for her album.  It's kind of a rite of passage!  I remember when Patty, Teri and I all went up there and tried the dresses on too!  Teri and her family had stopped in on Friday and Loren tried on the dress!

I was SO pleased to know that all 3 girls brought their families (minus the young boys and Gwyn) to Don and Nadine's and took plenty of pictures!  Nadine's place is a treasure!  And SO MUCH to look at!

Robby and Brad outside of an out building - I LOVE seeing all of those signs!


And first up was Kenzie trying on the dress - both girls were a little too busty to button the front!

Next up was Aleah - they both looked precious in the dress!

Gary and Don outside the"she shed" - Don's last project!

The inside of course has lots of antiques and memorable items, and Nadine has a story for each!


 So glad the families got to see their place AND have the girls try on this precious wedding dress!
