Why you only want to invite those that can afford to go? Nobody on your guest list that you like beyond gifts?

Shame on you.

Work_in_progress_08, I ordered, but haven't yet tried, the clogs. My plan was to set them aside for cooler weather and wear thin cotton socks with them (as house shoes only.) That's what I did with a pair of Crocs back when I could find them made in the USA. I like having something that's easy to kick off since I keep my feet elevated when sitting (& don't like to rest shoes on the ottomans.) As for the sandals, I find them comfortable. Amj0517, I think they probably run true to size for average feet. My feet are somewhat deformed, despite surgery on both, and wide, so I order one size larger than the chart indicates and that works fine. BTW, I didn't notice before, but they also have a line under the brand "OKA b" that include some with cute ribbons and flowers. The prices are a little higher than for the original styles, but are still in line with (or less than) similar imported sandals. Here is a link that might be useful: Even more styles

Molaki (hawaii) is the only island I know of with no crowd. It only has 6 restaurants. My nephew and his wife stayed 2 weeks there and had a hut with a view of the ocean. I didn't say on th beach because it was rocky and muddy where they were. But they rented a car and found a 3 mile long deserted beach. There are hiking trails, bike paths, transportation to the other islands. I think also ocean excursions. I researched this Island found out it was more like the old Hawaii than the more commercial islands. I would like to go there, but hate the thought of going alone.

My daughter-in-law's size 8 sandals arrived, and the fit is perfect! I'm relieved. She's very happy with them. The purple color is pretty. I also like the Soft Lime that I ordered for myself. PS: I had told my 3-year-old grandson several days ago that a surprise was arriving for Mommy, and he was very excited to accompany me to the mailbox. I let him give her the package, and later he said to me, "I thought it would be something heavier." :-)

Is that a recent picture of your mom? If so, she looks no where near her age! She is very attractive. :) As for organizing, I think one of my neighbors may have done this recently. I don't know this neighbor well but from how she talked, I think she may have hoarding tendencies. Anyhoo, I find organizing something I do pretty well with. I also have a basket for things to be donated. We have drawers and cabinets at the back of our master closets (it's long and not real wide), and that helps. I have hanging thingies - one for long necklaces and one for scarves. I have shelf space above for purses and shoes that stay boxed. Out of season shoes go in the cabinet. I also have some hatbox type containers on shelves above where I can store items. In the bathroom and linen closets (one large and one small) baskets are my friends. The laundry area has storage for paper towels, toilet tissue, cleaning items (although a tote stays in the bathrooms with cleaning products for those), etc. Right now I do need to go through my husband's clothing and donate, etc. He's pretty good about keeping it in shape but I don't go through his things as often as mine. That's so funny about your kids!

no...actually I would rather not even have a shower or a big wedding because I get kind of a weird feeling about people giving me gifts. I do not have the time or the patience to make decisions. My mom just planned a wedding for my step sister and at first thought it was fun..When I told her my plans she said THANK GOD.. I think you were reading to much into my post because I would prefer "no gifts". I have a friend who did this and said it was just a great time. You get married bam you are on your honey moon with your close friends and family. Yes, I would prefer to spend time on my honey moon with others.

We did Sandals Dunns River in Jamaica for our honeymoon and it was so fabulous. We didn't have our wedding there but saw others being married, some alone and others with family present. It looked elegant and romantic and wonderful!! I'd highly recommend Sandals. It's class, luxury, romance and pampering to the nth degree.
