Crunch Time -Three Days


Continuing crunch-time to the wedding in our backyard in a few short days.

I think I have a grip on things, but who knows what could happen between now and then. The forecast is looking perfect for Saturday, so at least we have that going for us. In addition to this list, I forgot to tell you that when I washed the dining room windows two weeks ago and I took down the curtains, one of them ripped. A little extra sewing project I hadn’t anticipated. Hopefully nothing else rips, tears, or breaks between now and Saturday.  

Here is my wedding to-do list, with my usual green-highlight as complete and yellow-highlight worked on. Pretty much caught up on things.  

Sometime within the two weeks prior to the wedding:
-           Hem the bride’s dress
-           Wash windows – dining room, kitchen, laundry, living room
-           Buy decorations
-           Make signs for road so people can find our house
-           Put names on the mailbox which is really the card-box
-           Make up bed in guest room (as we will have overnight guests)
-           Wash bathroom rugs – in the washing machine right now
-           Clean out frig (why were there three half-empty jars of pickled beets and another three half-empty jars of sweet relish in there?)
On Friday:
            Make potato salad
-           Make macaroni salad
-           Vacuum thru entire house
-           Clean bathrooms
On Saturday:
-           Boss everyone around as they set everything up
-           Boss everyone around the rest of the day, because somebody has to make sure this comes off without a hitch

Hubby’s list is longer, but he is retired, so whereas I have to work today and tomorrow, he can get his stuff done.

Watch for pictures on Sunday!

  1. As far as the contents of the fridge - why ask why? Do you REALLY want to know?!

    May everything come off perfectly. And for the inevitable oopses - I hope they make good stories!

  3. Sometimes when 'things' are left in the fridge too long, they tend to reproduce. Maybe that happened with your pickle relish???? Have a lovely wedding. Enjoy every moment. I do remember the absolutely long lists and frantic planning/working that went into our daughter's wedding. You know those pink flamingos? We planted lots of flowers and put 4 pink flamingos in our back yard with party hats, just to make our guests smile. Good memories. May the wedding be very special with good memories for you! And maybe, just maybe a return to writing soo.
