Oh my! Three days left until daughter Lovina and Daniel’s wedding. Everything is starting to fall into place, but once again, I feel nervous that I might have forgotten something. I’m sure I have, but how fortunate I am to have a good friend like Ruth.
She’s been so helpful once again. When we are shopping, and my brain seems to fog up, she is my thinker. This is the fourth wedding she has helped me shop for; plus, she also helped with Ervin and Susan’s wedding.
I can never repay her for all she has done. I hope she knows she is very much appreciated. She will be as relieved as I am once that last carload of groceries is unloaded.
On Saturday, the wedding cook kitchen, cooler, dishes, tables, and miscellaneous items all arrived. It took a while to set up and figure out exactly how it will work best because we have the tables set up in the new barn. The 30-foot-by-60-foot tent was put up, barn cleaned, fence rows trimmed, tables set for 324 people, and more — so many last-minute jobs were completed.
We appreciated all the help we had. Forty loaves of bread were toasted for the dressing. The weather has been really hot.
Every day this week is going to be in the 90s. Whew! It’s going to take a lot of ice for this wedding. How thankful I am for the big walk-in cooler for all the food.
Today, the boys will put up another 20-foot-by-30-foot tent for the dishwashers to wash dishes under. Also, potatoes (400 pounds) can be peeled under the tent. We have a lot of shade fro.
