this weekend

We went to Birmingham via Talledega
this weekend for more meetings with wedding vendors.
Sweet Man stayed in Talledega and played golf.

Gabelle, Little Pissy, her fiance, his mother and I met with various vendors
starting at 9:00 Saturday morning until 6:30 that evening.

Then this morning we went and toured a local resort as
a possible wedding night location
and then had a two hour meeting with another wedding planner.

Then drove 2 1/2 hours back to Hell.

We got home at 8:00 this evening.

*sigh*
I am one worn out old broad.

But you know I took pictures...
here they are....


Wildflowers on the side of the road....

These two cuties are Charlie and Yogi
my sister-in-law's new Yorkies.
It looks like Charlie is saying to Yogi,
"Why is this crazy bitch taking so many pictures of us?"

Me and Charlie havin' a moment
(I would have put him in my purse and brought him home,
but my sister-in-law kept a close eye on me.)


Charlie givin' me a kiss....

Of course one of the first things we did was eat
(that's Little Pissy in the background)

We decided on the bridesmaids dresses at this store.


We met with a baker.
She gave us two sample cakes to take with us.
I love her.


This was one of three florists we met with.
We won't be using her.

We went back to the country club to look at the room one more time.
It was set up for a reception.
We decided that we're going to do that same thing with the fabric.
Isn't it cool?


View off deck of Little Pissy's future in-laws
It was like a park....so lovely.

House across the street from future in-laws
those lines are the defroster in the back window of the truck.
Classy, huh?

Even though I'm exhausted, I had a really good time this weekend.
I totally enjoy Little Pissy's future in-laws.
They're clever, funny people and terrific hosts.
They made me feel right at home....
if my home were 5,000 square feet with a park for a backyard.
