My life lately consists of lists and more lists. Less than two weeks until Melissa’s bridal shower and my trip to Michigan. But, before I go, I am organizing a golf scramble for my neighborhood golf group and hosting Euchre (cards) at my house. I do find that lists give me motivation and I have really accomplished a lot lately. Hosting at my home also gives me motivation to deep clean and that feels good too.
The bridal shower is pretty much planned and all that I need to do is pick up a few odds and ends once I get there. I will be shipping in advance a box of decor that I have collected too. My best discovery was ordering flowers from Costco inexpensively to be delivered right to the house (my daughter’s house) the day before the shower. That way I know I have the hydrangeas I need and can fill in with Trader Joe’s flowers and greenery as needed. I am also having dinner with my sister and borrowing a few more vases. Our theme is vintage garden party with blue and white chinoiserie vases. Not outside in Michigan in April, but you get the idea.
I also have been getting more involved in my volunteer job where I work all around the city of Venice trimming, planting, etc. The group is going through some leadership changes and I will begin co- editing the weekly newsletter in the fall. It is basically a blog format, so easy for me. I also joined a committee to plan the yearly Christmas decorating in one of the city parks. Busy, but all fun.
All this being said, two weeks until I see my sweet grand daughter Audrey. She now has her first tooth and is changing and growing so fast. I can’t wait to spend some time with her. She will be at her Auntie’s bridal shower, her Christening is the following day and then I will be staying at her house for a few days. Hoping for nice weather so we can go to the zoo.
Happy Sunday!
SO happy for you! Such an exciting phase of your life…make each moment a memory for this part of your life will go as fast as our child rearing days! Remember those days/yrs we thought would last forever????!!!!!! And yet, in the blink of an eye….
