Busy weekend!   "We" had Emma's bridal shower here on Saturday.  "We" being Meredith and Veronica did all the planning, shopping, cooking, etc.  I supplied the place.  Emma wanted a mimosa bar and cucumber sandwiches, and Meredith's decorating looked great!  I think the only thing that actually drank the juice were the bugs - the guests all had straight champagne!  (The bugs were NOT there during the party - they came along when we were cleaning up, thank goodness!)

The first guest to the party - I found him early Saturday morning when I was doing my final patio cleaning.

I made a ton of scrubbies for Emma in her colors (teal, yellow and burgundy) and she put them together for thank yous, but then forgot to give them out.  Oh well - I did my part!  

Meredith decided she wanted to serve the food from the guest house, rather than from inside the main house, or outside on the patio.  That's fine in theory, but the guest house has collected a lot of stuff in it!.  I spent this week every night after work cleaning out the guest house or the patio.  I put all the stuff out of the guest house kitchen into the bedroom - thinking I could just close that door, right?  Wrong!  Meredith wanted to use that bathroom so people didn't have to go through the house and bother Ralph and Alli.   

Heavy sigh!  I compromised by throwing a sheet over my 'clutter'.  (Okay - it took two sheets to cover it....)

Then, on Sunday, I put it back....see the bedroom!

I purged and de-cluttered the guest house kitchen as well.  Here's the counter now.  I still have some boxes underneath, but nothing like it was!
