Hey, Gang! I tried to make a post yesterday, but lost it somewhere in cyber-space. I didn't have time to re-do it.
Vanessa, are you here yet? I thought you were on your way.
Laura, I am too busy to get nervous, I think. Today I will be steam-cleaning the carpet. Jim's parents will be here tomorrow night and I told them not to even think about staying in the motel. I want them here so we will be able to spend some time with them.
Meg, I am sure we will be thinking about how to screen the gazebo in by the time the mosquitos start eating dinner.
I have plenty of citronella candles to put out there with us, and a citronella
plant, but I don't know how well they will work. We may end up buying stock with the "skeeter" products people.
Yesterday I washed all the outdoor cushions and some tables that have been loaned to us. Jim is bringing home 20 bales of hay today after work. We are renting some more tables and chairs if we can't beg or borrow what we think we will need.
Saturday, my aunt came down so we could decorate the gazebo and make sure everything will be as we want it. On the gazebo we are putting wildflowers since they are my favorite. On the deck will be my mother's favorite (yellow
roses). We had Jim nail white rope around the deck, too.
Jim built the "hitching post" for me, but I still haven't decorated it with my stick ponies, hay bales, and wheat straw. I still have to paint my little sign for it, too.
We stayed up til 3:00 Sunday morning. My aunt was trying to get used to the sound system we will be using for karaoke. It's not quite as big as the one we use at the club, and the controls are way different. We didn't want to have to drag the big one out in case it rains. We could get my personal system broken down and in the house in a skinny minute if need be.
Jim took us out to eat at Sticky Fingers (rib house) on Mother's Day. I think I gained a pound or two!
I will try to up-date about the wedding progress if I can during the week. If I don't find time, though, remember it is not because I have forgotten my Garden Helper friends.
