60 HOURS

Well, the time has come for me to step away from the computer for a few days. All I have to do now is finalize my schedule/to-do list for the next three days, then I'm heading off to do something I haven't done in over ten years -- get a Mani-Pedi! (my friend Paula insisted) Wouldn't you know, I cracked my big toe on the coffee table a couple of days ago, taking a big u-shaped chunk out of the toenail, down into the quick. Not sure how they are going to make that look pretty! On the plus side, while I'm off having the royal treatment, dear Suzanne will be making my house spiffy clean for any visitors who might be popping in. This is the life, no?

In case you've forgotten, tomorrow around lunchtime the hubster and I, along with our daughter Alexis, and her entire wedding party, will be checking into this place -- the Cypress Falls event center here in Wimberley --  for the entire weekend!

So many cozy little places to hang out and have fun together.

Tomorrow night, being Halloween and all, there will be trick-or-treating for the little ones, followed by a rehearsal dinner here at the lodge, where costumes are encouraged! I wish I could tell you what my hubby is wearing, but he made me swear to secrecy!

Looks like it's going to be absolutely perfect weather for a sunset ceremony "down by the river" on Saturday evening...

followed by drinks on the terrace...

then it's on to cake and dancing in the "speakeasy" that inspired this wedding's theme, where most of the guests will, of course, be sporting 20s era attire.

Sunday there will be a "Morning After" brunch for the wedding party, and the next time you hear from me, I'll be a MOTHER IN LAW!
