Counting Down

Only twelve days until my daughter's wedding.

Twelve days to finish the cleaning, get the programs printed, make the favors...

Twelve days to look forward to seeing relatives I haven't seen in years. In actuality, this will be the first time ever that all my siblings and their various offspring will be together in one place. We are so spread out over the country, that get togethers like this just do not happen. I am very much looking forward to that.

I am also looking forward to watching my daughter get married.

I am not looking forward to all the hoopla that goes along with it, but that's part of the show. So I will deal. And know that in thirteen days, it will all be just a memory.

But a good one, I know. :)

In the meantime, we're sitting here sweltering in the unusual heat. Normal temps for this time of year are in the upper 70's. Today, it is 96 with a heat indices of 105. Not fun. Hopefully it will cool off at least a little by the time comes for the wedding - or those folks from Minnesota and upper New York are going to be miserable.
