The Count Down Begins

Saturday is a busy day for me. I’m going to visit Margarita so she can dip my hair in the fountain of youth and give me a good hair cut. I really need to work on the hair, as lately I cannot seem to style it at all.

I’ll get back here just after lunch, and I will do some housework to prepare for my guests tomorrow late in the afternoon.

My neighbors are all coming over to have a big spaghetti dinner with us, and to go over the last of my seemingly endless lists and instructions for caring for my pooches.

I realized this morning (again) just how much I love these fury creatures and how must they add to my life.

In the morning I wake to the gentle kisses of Anneliese. Arnie stretches and snuggles against my back, and Greta is always cuddled by my tummy. Fritz is always waiting next to my side of the bed for my feet to hit the floor, then I get kisses from him.

If I have to leave the house, they run to the door and either want to go with me, or they want me to stay. When I return, they dance with delight and I smile as I listen to their toe nails click on the floor.

I am so lucky, to be so loved!

Sunday is laundry, ironing and packing day. I want to have that all done by the end of the day so that on Monday I can attend my meeting and Tuesday we can do to a fly-in close by at a local airport. Then Wednesday we are off!

Hubby and I will have 5 days all to ourselves going to his Army Reunion. Our neighbors are moving in to care for the dogs and we will sleep late, walk hand and hand along sunshiny pathways, and I will not have to cook, clean, wash a dish or walk my beloved dogs.

You know me, I will be bringing along my computer, and will be reporting in with pictures and updates from the road.

Here is my one question. This is the dress for the banquet. It has these shiny (fake) stones around the collar. It would be easy to remove them, should I, or should I leave them?

We will be in a very hot area, so the sleeveless dress will be a good thing. It’s very light and flows nicely when I move. Think Hubby will dance with me?

  1. Bling is in style and there is not that much of it, so I vote keep it. And you will be he beautiful Belle of the Ball. If he is silly and does not dance with you, highly unlikely, I am certain others will. Be safe traveling and have a truly enjoyable time. Looking forward t ocommentary and pics, make my day.

  2. I say leave it. Not a good night last night, lots of pain. Maybe from having done PT. UGH! Love YOU, Mel

  3. I am positive Jack will dance with you! But I can’t tell about the glass stones… the picture is too small and I’m not invited to view it larger! You will have to use your own best judgement this time! 🙂 My inclination is to keep it… it will be very plain without it.

  4. I’m just smiling at the whole taking a picture in the mirror thing… I love it! I like the stones from what I can see but do they make the neckline heavy? If you have a great piece of jewelry you can take them off but if not I’d leave as is. Have a wonderful time!
