Its way past time to say.....

Posting this now, cause next week will be crazy!!

Its way past time to say a huge THANK-YOU to many KT'ers here for all the help and advice the past 10 months of wedding planning! Wedding is next Saturday (Gwannyto3's is the same day!)

I'm not sure if you would all like to be thanked publicly or not so I will just tell you what sweet,kind people we have here! Maybe they will post and tell me its ok so name names.

One person, right off the bat emailed me privately to offer to do, of all things the wedding invitations!!!!! She not only made them up on her computer and emailed them to Heather and I but actually went and had them printed for us and then mailed them many,many miles to ND! She is a wonderful,caring and lovely person! We have beautiful picture invitations that have surprised many people (we don't see these picture invites here much yet)and I've heard nothing but compliments on them ever since they were mailed out! In fact, now that I am thinking of it I know there was a picture of them (sorta)posted here so I can say publicly, Thank you Stephanie for all your hard work! We treasured it and the invitations were more personal and just what Heather wanted because of you!

Another sweet person offered the use of a card box that she had used at her family's wedding and it is perfect! It fits with the wedding things wonderfully!! She was sweet that she mailed it from a long way off too! I shall return it soon so watch your mail!

A beautiful lady here pointed me in the direction of a place where I ended up ordering my dress! I think its perfect and the girls loved it too. They didn't like my other choices! LOL

Now I also got a private email early on about doing personalized candy bars with the kids's names and wedding date. It took us a long time to figure out if we were doing them or not and did take this sweet KT'er up on her very kind offer earlier this fall. MONTHS after she volunteered to do them! She made them all up and shipped from another direction many miles to ND also!

Then for all the questions and more questions I had there were always you very sweet KT'ers with advice.

THANK YOU so much for holding my hand and being patient these past few months!

I love the KT so much and sure hope I can somehow repay the kindness everyone has shown me!! I've never known such wonderful people in REAL life!!

So many of you have had a part in this wedding whether you know it or not. So feel free to post what you've done and accept my gratitude!

I think we're gonna make it after all!

Hugs and kisses to you all!!!!

You will all be in my thoughts next Saturday! (the 25th)

past pruning time - can I chop anyway and not klll?

Batya, there is nothing wrong with cutting a plant all the way back to start anew....doing so for the reasons you've mentioned is a great idea! Yes, it's not the ideal time but when you weigh the pros and the cons, I vote for CHOP! Along with the pruning, please attend to housekeeping issues around the plants by removing fallen plant debris, etc. Make sure that the sage has plenty of space for good air circulation and sunlight penetration. I'd suggest that you don't fertilize these plants after pruning, but let them rebound from the energy in their root systems. Keep them properly watered, though. Keep a close eye out for the same pest problems and nip it in the bud right away.

They pulled his license Saturday until he passes the tests. I don't know how they work the written; if he can walk in any date or what; possible he's taking his time going back to take the written a 3rd time; so they pulled his license for what sounds like temporarily. I don't know why he has not gone back because the guy gave him all of the answers the last time. We haven't talked about it much because he got the letter Saturday; right before the storm. I'm pretty sure he mentioned it had something to do with his body & using the cane. He's now going to consider selling his home. I need to call the Vets home to see about bringing him there to tour it. I also need to find phone numbers to get someone out to his house to help set up transportation. I'm so thankful they pulled it. I can't imagine how many lives that possibly saved with how many accidents he's had. It's been so long; but he's totaled the original car his deceased lady friend picked out when he hit a lunch truck; a similar car that I found for him; plus the rear end was smashed on that 3rd car & I want to say he had a fender bender before the rear collision. Of course he says the other person hit him the other 2 times & I actually wonder if the rear end one was caught on traffic cam because it's located near a huge car business. I've been praying it was caught on traffic cam. He called me last night after I hung up with my son's great aunt who told me about the storm damage in my old area; so he listened to me about that which put a different tone on what he originally was going to say because losing his license is minor compared to what the rest of the state is going through. When he was at my house 2 years ago; I could not get him to listen to me about touring the vets home & getting his affairs in order & now he's kicking himself. He was in no shape emotionally due to losing his lady friend; then he was hurt that he had to come to my house to recover instead of going to his niece's. He's been so hurt about that; that 2 years later he still can't drop it. I hope the loss of license is enough to wake him into reality.

We have snow here in Portland Oregon too! We didn't have any last winter & hardly ever get much. So the TV stations are going crazy. We did go out in it early this morning since we have a veterinary hospital with boarders & patients we don't get a choice & that's why we live very close! It's very pretty but has slowed way down now. Since we never believe them when the threaten this weather I had to go out & insulate my spickets this morning & add some more bedding to my feral cat's house & defrost the humming bird feeders. I'd love to hold up in my sewing room but I have a bunch of house cleaning to do first, wah! I'll definatley save the puzzle, thanks Bill

Judy, you are leaving your house, and I slept in my new one. Soon you will be able to say this too. We stayed on our camping mattresses in our house. I didn't sleep well. Weird, as I usually sleep well on that mattress, but in a tent. Maybe I should have pitched mine? LOL We spent all day yesterday cleaning (sweeping out cabinets and washing them out). Sure is messy cleaning up after others. I am tired of that. I hope, yours will be clean enough to pass the white glove test. Enjoy your time with your son. "see" you soon. Moni

You are so very welcome. I had alot of fun doing them and I'm so happy that you all are happy with them, and that people are enjoying them. They're a great way to have a beautiful, yet not so formal invitation to a wedding. I loved them. And the colors were perfect.

I can't believe it's almost time for the wedding. Time really flies. I can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures. I'm sure all your hard work will pay off and the day will be beautifully perfect!!

I agree, KT'ers are simply the best ever! Steph, I would like to see the invitations, could you repost the picture if you have a chance? Or should I do a search for them?

I hope both weddings are simply spectacular and meet every one of your expectations. With all the hard work you all have put in and with the help from others, they should!

Congrats to you all!

Connie; Time sure flies by. I can't believe the wedding is here already. What I really can't believe is that Alex & Rachel's wedding was almost a year ago. We are so happy that the card box will be enjoyed again. If there is anyone else who would enjoy using it at their wedding please feel free to "pay it forward". Kind of like the "traveling wedding card box" Have a great wedding day. Blessings to your family. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Connie, if Miss Maddy really wants to "scatter" petals, I saw some pretty silk rose petals in Michaels. :)

Have a wonderful week and take some time to ENJOY it!

We'd love to use them Lynda, but church says not!
Along with no rice, no birdseed too, which DD didn't want anyway, but the rose petals would have been fun for Maddie.
