Hi Everyone!

[paula1961]

I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful Diana!! I can only imagine all the stress that you all are under right now. It will turn out lovely. Can't wait to see pix!!

I wish I was there to help relieve some of your stress Diana. It's going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see a picture of the working fountain. They are right that with Jaci in charge...if something were to happen, she can't blame anyone else.

I know it will be a beautiful wedding and then you will be able to relax and do your own thing.

Everyone is getting pretty upset with Jaci. She wants things her way but isn't around so we can get any thing done. She zigs when everyone else zags. She's doing inside things when outside things can be done. I just keep telling myself....three more days......three more days!!!!

Good luck Diana - I am sure everyone is stressed out with the wedding including Jaci, she probably just wants everything done her way on her special day, and maybe doesnt realise how much she is upsetting people who are really trying to make thinks easy and being helpful.

As others have said, I would just try to enjoy it, and give her the oportunity to have things her way (even though maybe you know better ways to do things), at least then, she only has herself to blame doesnt she?

It is hard though when it is your child - you dont want people feeling she is not grateful, for the help and suggestions, and it can be embarrasing for you as a parent.

Not long now though - i will be thinking of you all, i hope the weather is good, and that it is a wonderful day for all of you.

Oh Gosh, Diana! I remember these last days right before the wedding. Lots of things to do and we didn't have half the things to do that you all have! It will be over soon and the memories will be wonderful. I hope the weather is not too hot! I KNOW everything will be gorgeous! When Jaci is older and looks back on the pictures, she will have a greater appreciation for what you all did for her. Right now, she may be too wrapped up in being the bride and her own stress to fully comprehend all that still needs to be done and the like. I just know it will be a terrific day!


We got home yesterday from Oklahoma City. It is always sad to have to attend a funeral, but it is joyous to see relatives and friends you haven't seen in years. The cemetery was just gorgeous as it was the day after Memorial day. And it was a military burial (although he was 76 years old, he had served 20 years in the military) with a 21 gun salute and the flag folding ceremony by the military personnel. It was very fitting for Memorial day.

We have unpacked from the OKC trip. We pick up the trailer (the axle is fixed) this afternoon and although we have gotten lots of stuff out of it before we left this weekend, we have some more to go - hopefully not too much. We'll do that this afternoon and then get it back to storage. It will be a loooong day!

Then it is pack for ALASKA BABEEEE! We leave next Wednesday. Whooo Hoooo! we are so excited. We were with Gary's sisters and bils this past weekend - they are all going too - so everyone was super excited!

I came home to 13 ripe tomatoes - well, they are in stages of ripeness. I picked them all so that the birds/squirrels wouldn't eat them before me. Now I have to eat tomatoes morning, noon, and night to get all the ripe ones eaten before we leave!!! LOL!

Glad you're back Gayle!! Sounds like you are for sure going to have a busy day! Glad your camper is fixed! I'm sooooo jealous...........you going to Alaska I can't wait to hear all about it and see pix!

Our anniversary is the 6th of June. We're going back to Tn for 5 days. Leaving Wednesday and taking the new camper! I am looking forward to our little trip.

Tennessee is so beautiful! I've never been camping there. Now I wanna go!!

Gosh Diana...where was Jaci that day while you all worked? I think it's time to pull a Jaci...lol. If she's not working...then no one should work. We CAN complain about our kids Diana, but no one else can. They are good kids, but sometimes we'd like to kick there behinds!!! Soon it will be over and one for the memory books.

Sounds like you all get to travel so much....I'm so envious. I need to get away from here so bad and relax. I miss camping, but it sure has been too hot around here to be able to enjoy it.

I must have needed the extra rest this morning....I woke up at 6:15 am and the guys were gone. Rick to work and Ricky to school. I felt bad that I wasn't up to wish Ricky a good day and to tell him to be safe. He just texted me though at 11:00 and asked if I was up ...lol. He's so funny...he knows I would never be able to sleep that late.

I have to get up early in the morning to have Mom at dialysis by 6 am. I think I'll just come back home because she'll be there for 4 hours and then go back and pick her up. Hate to make the drive twice, but that's a long time to wait and the stores are not open that early. Maybe I can catch a nap before having to pick her up.

You know you should have called that show Bridezilla if there still on. Tell her this is the easy part the hard part comes right after the ceremony.

I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful, in fact I think you need to grab a chair place it in the middle of the garden and watch everyone work. Just kick back, relax and enjoy the show. Just a thought but I'm sure your working the hardest.

Wish all of you luck, can't wait to see pics of the wedding

I know that I'm complaining a lot about Jaci. I really shouldn't because she IS a really good girl and hasn't ever caused me any trouble. Glen keeps telling me to just hang on for a couple more days and then things will get better. The MOM in me just wants to give her a piece of my mind.....but I'm trying to keep the peace!!! She didn't show up to help work AT ALL today!!! But......I'm not complaining.....I'm not complaining.....I have two more days left.....just two more days.......just two more days.....just two more days........
