Vi~ Weddings are fun but stressful as you already know. I actually agreed to make some of the bridesmaid dresses for my daughter's wedding!!! Was still doing it 1 hour before wedding. One girl who was having someone else do it, brought it with her in two pieces, "Can you help finish this?"..Uggghhhh....I took the Maid of Honor shopping, "Said your the MH, colors are green/pink, BM are wearing green....pick a pink one." Lesson learned........We had the wedding/reception in Vegas and another reception here in WA. Vegas was outdoors and WA indoors.

Mary~ Reunions...DH, paternal 1st wknd Aug. Nahalem Bay about 140 attend. DH maternal was last weekend Portland, we skipped...all the people that were going we have just seen, will see this weekend or live here. We are not making two trips to OR two weekends in a row. My cousin, paternal has one for his Dad's side last weekend in July. Since my dad's siblings and families don't get together, my parents and siblings are invited to that one. Plus DD and DH work for him. Next weekend is just a small get together, camping, with my DM two of her sisters, their kids, and grandkids. As with any of them anyone is invited. So to DH's this weekend my brother and his family, DM and our close friends are going with. whewwww that was a mouthful!

Sarv~LOL...the Mom, Grandma situation....Darius~ would have wanted to be there for that conversation LOL....Here's one....my grandmother, who will not wear a hearing aid and is deaf (now 91), having a conversation with DA who had a stroke 4 years ago, who knows what she wants to say, but it's like charades or thinking of the poor checker at the grocery store with DA trying to help DDG check out! It's a crack up. When we're together DDG will look at me puzzled, what's she trying to say???? me...."SHE IS TELLING YOU ABOUT GRANDPA AND HIS COUSIN!!"....DDG, "What?"...."SSHHEE IsS Tellllllling you .........................................." Life is never boring in the Bowden household....NEVER!
