the calm before the party...

 

The punch needs to be made...
Ready for tea...





One of the shower activities is bouquet making...
The meatballs are in the crockpot, we will make bruschetta and slice up that bread, slather with olive oil and a bit of garlic, toast it up a bit..there are freshly baked chocolate chip cookies I made last night, and the cupcakes are all frosted and in the refrigerator, macarons in the freezer.  The fruit platter needs to be made up, and Emily is coming over with Buffalo chicken bites and savory pastry puffs...ect. (we put the air fryer away for counter space, and she needs it for her chicken, oh well ha!, it comes back out...or she can plug it in on top of the washing machine!)

I am shhhh, skipping church this fine morning.  My knees can only take so many steps, and I have so much to do here.  The shower starts at 2:30, and I can't be walking in at the same time as everyone else.  The floors need another vacuum, and the coffee table needs a shine.  I do a few things, as much as I can, and stop and put my feet up.  I've been sleeping a lot better, still have pain but not as bad as the awful week, not sure why, but I'll take it.  Sleep is a wonderful thing.

Yesterday was a stay-at-home day.  We rearranged the furniture to fit more guests in the living room, brought out one of the benches from the kitchen.  

Tomorrow is a packing day, and a going to return dresses at Target day, picking up anything we need for our trip, as we leave here at three in the morning Tuesday.  I'm glad I had some grandkids over on Friday, I miss them the most when I'm gone.

Ah well, you have a really nice day!

Your house looks lovely I started taking glucosamine Boswellia with tumeric it sooths joint pain. This stuff is a miracle within a week no pain and I can actually go down stairs normally and not side ways. I get mine from puritains pride but I am sure Amazon or drug stores carry. I take no other meds but if you take anything check with dr. Enjoy your trip and spring 90's predicted here later in the week good time to Christian the pool!
