the countdown begins
Saturday was fitting day and can you believe the wedding is only 8 weeks away??? Hardly seems possible! In the mean time I had a parcel delivered to my door from this sweet boy of mine :o) He always seem to come through for his MOM when she's counting on it!
My only wish is that Brent was closer to home... we don't seem to do much in Toronto so I don't see him as much as I'd like...Now he's talking about moving to Calgary...I do seem to get there!!! Anyway he surprised me with THIS!
It's my Favourite Starbucks blend (Guatemalan) & it's even discontinued! I was quite surprised & so many yummy bags of it!!! Please, come have coffee anytime! Last night was Pages of 8+2 bookclub, our circle journals are really getting done & looking spectacular... Debbie stuffed us ( thanks Debbie!) and we had our usual more than a few good laughs... We are so lucky to have each other to lean on... and we've all done a little of that! I'm still waiting for her to get some action figures for the "pool" next door LOL!!!
Today I had time to scrap with my BFF, caught a little fresh air, & mowed a 200 ft circle in the hay field for Melissa's wedding... starting now so there is some green in the field for the big day! The real fun was marking the circle with Blake's new John Deere using his GPS! (I sat in the tractor with him while he did all the work!)... The circle is perfect! After that, I picked a little rhubarb to make the base for Aunt Maxines's famous rhubarb lemonade... which we are going to serve at the wedding. And yes, I even made dessert for the family tonight... can't help but enjoy a little rhubarb crisp... while the rhubarb is fresh!...3 out of 4 of us love it!!! Happy day ( and I only looked at the Ladies about 20 times today:o)

I wish that I lived right down the road so I could join you for some morning coffee EVERY DAY! That would be perfect.
And then an apple for the road!
Go Paulette!

Posting that picture of the rhubarb crisp was MEAN! It looks so very delicious, my mouth is watering, and licking the monitor just isn't going it for me! HA!
Think you should take pictures of your crop circles -- we all want to see that the aliens visited you.
And HOW EXCITING! that it's close enough to the wedding that you're in full fledged (half-fledged?) preparation mode!
Rock on, lady! You should be able to go-Go-GO! with all that coffee!

That would be "doing it for me!" not going. Sometimes even spell check just doesn't help...

I wish I lived next door to you too...but not way out there in Pereau, That is one hell of a drive man!!! (But worth it).
I am glad that 8+2 is keeping strong!

Can't imagine life without 8+2, can you?
Enjoy the wedding journey!
