WHHHYYYY......

Could someone please tell me.....How is it a person can gain 8 pounds OVERNIGHT.....yet it takes 3 MONTHS to lose it ???!!!!!

The Garage Sales

Out of the 5 houses (9 total on our lane) I guess I sold the most and had the biggest profit! BUT, I still have TONS of leftover.....Sooooo, as soon as PP gets her Garage organized, we are going to try to do this in town....for a bigger and better turnout!! I guess you could say that this is "heads up" to PP....really you don't have anything else to do in the next 2 weeks you have off.... ;>)

Oh...and we will probably want to bring the boat too...we are definitely selling it! And the utility trailer too. Geesh...you'd think we never talked....

The Wedding....

First the Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner.....Rehearsal went smoothly...our Pastor is GREAT at EVERYTHING he does! That is the "key" to flawless Rehearsals. Rehearsal Dinner....I actually coerced the "EX" (Grooms mother) (Remember, I AM THE STEPMOTHER) to sit at "OUR" table....and I sat next to her! Of course she was extremely friendly, it was really nice! I have nothing against her whatsoever...it is only on her level that she seems to have a problem with me, which she should'nt...Maybe, Hopefully that has all changed since she has recently re-married! She even cornered The Rock (her ex, my husband) and told him they should be getting along! DUH!!! I thought that is what we were doing for the past 8 years! Altogether is was a pleasant evening! The best part was the GIFT that the Bride and Groom gave to all of the parents....using everyones last name, they made this for us.....We LOVE IT!!!! Kind of gives away our last name...huh...but had to share!!

The Wedding

BEAUTIFUL DAY !! The Ceremony was Perfection! Thanks to Pastor! All of the music was done by the Brides brother and his Team-New Dawn (New Dawn is an International Team sponsored by Youth Encounter. This group of young adults ministers throughout the United States, the Philippines, and Taiwan for fifteen months with a faith-encouraging program of music, testimonies, drama and puppetry to inspire people of all ages)...they played piano, guitar, bongo and sang~ it was Fantastic!

The Bride was beautiful in her dress...it actually feels like a cloud! Gorgeous! The pictures do not even come close to showing how Beautiful it is. and The Groom never looked more Handsome in his uniform....He has always been a good looking kid.

The Reception

I did not get a lot of pictures...I wish I had. The highlights were the Margarita Machine. The Photo Booth. (like in the Malls)Everyone made good use of this more than once...(Pleasing Procrastioner has pictures of these)And the Candy Bar....I will need to find someone with a picture of this...it was amazing...about 15-20 old time candy jars being continuously filled with different kinds of candy....Kids (and adults) were given little brown paper sacks to fill till their hearts content.....all day! Needless to say everyone was on a virtual sugar high! Each table had 2 bottles of Oliver's red wine....the best! The food was Delicious! The wedding cake was simple and beautiful....the bride had found a cake topper from the 1940's....it was perfect for them! Of course everyone did the slide and the hokey pokey and danced the night away! At the end of the evening the couple took off on "their Harley"...even in her wedding dress! The Photograher took tons of pictures....which we can hardly wait to see!!!

The Honeymoon!

The couple took off that night....traveling through the South to their final destination....for their 2 weeks of Honeymoon Bliss.......you HAVE to check out the honeymoon spot..... http://seabirdkey.com/ Be sure to read all.....AMAZING!!!!!

It WAS a PERFECT wedding for the PERFECT couple

NO TIME

I really have NO TIME to be on here....STUPID me....decided to organize and have Garage Sales this weekend...for our Lane(1 week after the Wedding) ....5 other houses are participating.............AnYWAY......I was out picking Blueberries and Rasberries all day yesterday...(another stupid thing on my part, when I have all garage sale to price and get ready)

I was in the bushes, picking away, when I get this email....from the Keeper....have to share with you all........so at least we know the Keeper is still alive and well.....and does this look like she is too busy with Cheerleading to get onto Blog......when all of the rest of us are busting are butts off ....getting things done.....she is on the beach, (listening to Bohemian Rapsody?).....
(Ha!...I bet she thought that I couldn't figure out how to get her picture from my cell to here)
