Still Going

Just dropping in to let you all know that preparations for the great day are in high gear. I've done about all I have time for in the garden. That includes hand edging the back yard. Don't worry - it's not that large.


I love my steel edging, but the mower doesn't do that great  leaving a neat edge. So I took the hedge clippers and hacked away.

Then I needed to replace a flower on my granddaughters' dresses for the wedding. The original was kinda wimpy and the bride really wanted something yellow since her colors are yellow and lavender. So I went hacking away again, getting those flowers off, then fashioned a ruffly rose out of yellow ribbon.


Of course, there's been lots of cleaning and moving things around. Today I brought home a ton of food. Tomorrow morning I wake up bright and early and get 30 pounds of brisket on the Traeger, then go out with the groom for reception food shopping. Sometime I need to go get a mani/pedi too!

Well, gotta get back to a little food prep, then bed!

Oh the frenzy is on! I can see you sleeping for a week after the wedding!

The girls dresses are looking lovely. I hope you get that mani/pedi in before the big day.
