W-Day!

The wedding day is here! Sunny and warm and a special visit from the Pope makes it all the more wonderful! All the relatives made it to the Big Apple and are having fun meeting and greeting. We have last-minute chores to do, but trust that it will all get done!
Our Friday night party was so good that security was called! It's been an amazing week and finally get to go to the big event!
There's nothing like a wedding in the family to bring everyone together!
Keep smiling!

New York Wedding-1


The Road Show has decamped to NY where we're excited to have a wedding in the family! I hope to get to a museum or two, but with so many things to do, I'm not sure I'll have the luxury of time to sightsee. That's ok, though, as we'll have lots of family, friends, and soon-to-be family coming for the event!

Planning has gone pretty well so far; now it's the execution phase!
I bought a MOB dress at a fancy store at home; It took almost 6 weeks for the dress to come in and then they had it for 2 more weeks to get alterations done. I finally picked it up this week and my dental hygienist suggested I try it on before I left town. I did, and found that the pins were still in the dress; the alterations had not been done! I took it back the next day, and it only took 2hrs. to finish....I felt one crisis had been averted! The salesperson and fitter were apologetic about the mess-up.

Travel today (April 12) was extremely easy, after the horror stories all week. I flew American and flights were full, but not crammed; flights left on time and arrived early. Luggage came out quickly. Couldn't have been better.

Trees are bare here in NY-but some of the early flowers are out and we saw some beautiful weeping willows and weeping cherries in bloom. I also saw a few daffodils (my personal favorite spring flower) and a robin! Sure signs of spring! Hoping for continued spring weather right through the wedding festivities!

Looking forward to a great week!
