whew.<\/p>\n
up since around two in the morning.<\/p>\n
finally decided to get up and work on my new banner.\u00a0 i started it, well, i guess it would be yesterday morning, cause now we’re having sunday, all day.<\/p>\n
we’re having a Celebration of Life for dad on saturday, june 8th, here at our house, from 2-6.\u00a0 please come if you like.<\/p>\n
so that’s seven days from now.\u00a0 i’ve been freaking out slightly about all the stuff that i hope to accomplish before then.\u00a0 when kevin and i got married, right here in 2006, when dad and mom lived here, at first dad wasn’t keen on the idea of us having the wedding in the back yard.<\/p>\n
but then he totally got on board, and went to tremendous effort to make the place look dazzling.\u00a0 the whole yard looked great, plus he built a path on the side of the house just so people could walk on carpet instead of mud – amy and jim had just moved in and the grass hadn’t been planted yet, so things were a little muddy along the side of the house.<\/p>\n
he also got us a nice little pergola, is that what you call it?\u00a0 a thing with big bells and lights and bows and flowers on it.\u00a0 it was very lovely and festive.<\/p>\n
he did so much decorating, and then, dressed in his tux and his white gloves, he stood at the front of the house, ushering people to the back yard.<\/p>\n
my dad was a class act.\u00a0 i just want the place to look good for him.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
