What a whirlwind of a week. The weather was almost unbearable and after that heat wave, the horses should lose the rest of their winter wool and be sleek and shiny for the upcoming spring and summer weddings.

We went to the local AFWPI mixer on Tuesday evening that was held at Turlock’s newest venue, Larsa Hall. Got to meet several nice people who provide services for weddings and …What a wonderful place!

The décor is new and lavish in lovely earth tones that would provide a good background for whatever color someone chooses to decorate the tables with. I didn’t catch the specific details, but the hall looks like it could seat 1000 people. It also has plenty of parking spots. Oh, and the parking lot is deep so it would provide for a grand entrance with horses and carriage.

They’re planning to put in an outdoor area for wedding ceremonies in the back and that will just add to the excellence.

We’ll be there later in the year and will let you know how it went.

Fred and Ginger are providing services for a funeral this week. They behave so properly that those ceremonies are especially touching and memorable. We’re not alone in thinking that God loves horses and they do a great job of delivering a loved one to their resting place.

We also have a wedding at a venue that we haven’t visited before. I’m looking forward to getting some pictures there. The bride loved the new Cinderella carriage, but the groom had something more masculine in mind. They’ll be using the white Vis a Vis. The wedding colors are deep purple and silver and white. Those will look sooo pretty on white manes. Next time we write, we’ll let you know how it went. See you soon!
