Far North Wedding


FAR NORTH WEDDING: David Gaston & Kasey Leffler, married September 10, 2011

Thanks for the wedding.

Thanks for the vows, the blessings, and the rings.

Thanks for the chance to stay at Ginny & Larry’s farm once again.

Thanks for the mild, cool evenings with Jupiter rising brilliant in the east.

Thanks for the wild turkeys calling to each other in the cedar swamp.

Thanks for the rollicking of the seven dogs and the young cousins’ play.

Thanks for the late summer’s garden bounty, especially the corn.

Thanks for the kitchen talk, tales recited and new wisdom from old friends.

Thanks for the long laughter and the opportunity for tears.

Thanks for 33.75 Mile Road that dead ends at a place that was sacred before we got there,

And will remain so long after all of us have gone.
