Keeping a running tally of what's going on, mainly for future reference. Last night's cooking went perfectly (which I attribute directly to prayer), yet today is a bit of a stretch. End of the wire, you know. Nervous energy. I'll iron a couple of things in a minute, and keep rotating the BBQ in the oven. Seeing all the food prepared in the bowls makes a person wonder if there will be enough.
And in a strange twist, our son and his bride asked friends to the rehearsal dinner, those who live in town who they see all the time, but who aren't in the wedding. That accounts for the number being so high. Also, the ultimate number of forty might actually be as low as 25. They put folks on the list and told us they'd be there before getting refusals or commitments. Where's Emily Post when you need her?
Today I'm looking forward to seeing my two sons who are walking on the wild side. Haven't seen either of them in about two months. My husband said it was appropriate they'd be coming together---oldest son picking up other son at his apartment, since they live on the same side of town.
My girls will go ahead and set up the food, which is an amazing help.
Here we go....
