After the Family Picnic ...

The big activity here in Helena involved Jimmy and Jadranka's wedding. Briana was here to help out, and a big help she was -- preparing food, arranging flowers, taking photos, and adding cheer to the festivities. Here's a shot taken during preparation.

The ceremony took place in Women's Park in Helena, with several close friends in attendance. Then it was back to the house for a fun reception, cake cutting, and signing ceremony. Following that, Jimmy and I did a gig at Miller's Crossing. I know ... it's a bit tawdry to do a gig on one's wedding night, but everyone had a bunch of fun.

The next day, we took off for Portland. Briana and Peter were gracious hosts for a couple of days. We had a real relaxing session at the spa and took a little jaunt to the coast. Here are the newlyweds against a beautiful backdrop.

After the long drive back to Helena, Mr. & Mrs. Celik spent a day preparing for the long trip to their European home. They boarded the first leg of their flight early on Tuesday, August 22, and we received a message on Thursday that the journey had gone smoothly. Jimmy and Jadranka send regards, along with this observation: "What a wonderful family!"
