The Big Event...coming soon!

Well here we are three days from the graduation open house. Concrete work, done. Landscaping, I think needs more annuals for color...but at this point, done. Railing, done. Am I still feeling overwhelmed, done! :) There is just shopping to be done and food to be cooked...but it will happen, it always does. But to potentially have nearly 200 people and making sure they get plenty to eat is just frazzling my nerves just a tinge.

Katie left this morning for an event with our youth group. She is doing "Survivor." Yes, she and about 12 other kids and a few adult leaders have taken to the backwoods and roughing it till Saturday morning. Funny thing is...they are roughing it in our woods about 1/2 mile from the house. So, about 9 am the day of the big event, I will be getting back a child who potentially will be cranky, smelly, mosquito bitten and probably pretty whiny. She has already been warned where to deposit her goods, and to shower and vegetate for a while by herself, until she gets herself pulled together. So I guess wish me luck with that one.

A sad note...my brother and sister-in-law Don and Sue will be unable to be here for the open house, because of some jobs he is finishing up. Good news is they will be here the early part of August and we can sit and catch up then.

Ok...enough from me...after being away for so long...I should keep this short so I can keep plugging away. I would post some pictures of the changes...but I think most of those who read my blog will be here. Also, I am not sure how to do it because I haven't been to the picture posting blog class with "B" yet. Maybe we will post party pictures here?!?! :)

Have an awesome day all...and as always...be blessed! :)
