I do try to put it in perspective -- was lucky to experience a moment of quiet this afternoon when I recognised how very fortunate I am and feel some peace in that!<br /><br />I know what you mean about country music and dancing -- we were at a wedding in Ft. St. John last year -- yeehaw!<br />Thanks for the prayer -- much appreciated. materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-33730015834531899412012-08-19T20:54:44.177-07:002012-08-19T20:54:44.177-07:00Thanks!

I wonder if things (such as miscommunication) bother you more with all the wedding preparations. Stress comes in good times as well as bad. I haven't read Lisa's post, but it sounds as if you're taking her good advice to heart.<br /><br />We attended a wedding in Alberta yesterday. I'm not a fan of country music, but dancing to it was fantastic! One of the most fun receptions I've been to.<br /><br />I hope the weather cooperates for you on Saturday. We're currently in Canmore, where thunder is rolling from hill to hill and we're wondering what the week holds for our hiking plans. Perhaps here, as on your island, the storm will clear the air and bring fresh sunshine behind it. I'll send up a prayer for you.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-16596443305150864122012-08-19T14:50:56.661-07:002012-08-19T14:50:56.661-07:00Miscommunication happens.

They've got to be used to your crazy weather by now :-) Now that you've got that tarp up, you need not worry though.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-42889962840043287402012-08-19T11:34:48.734-07:002012-08-19T11:34:48.734-07:00Tarping backup got done this morning.

And you're right about the bride -- and I'm assuming wedding guests will be prepared to be celebratory, no matter the weather.<br />As for my stupid mistake, I was, indeed, ensured by the loveliest Sr. Publicist from To. that I was to put this aside and enjoy my weekend.

I'm sure you resolved the (regrettable) miscommunication more than adequately (though I've had those experiences and they do suck - more for you in memory than for anyone else, cuz everyone else forgets as soon as things resolve). As far as ants go, I got nothing. Bugs flip me out. But, in terms of the wedding, brides have a way of being gorgeous regardless of what happens with the weather - even if they're stuck in it. And everyone is going to celebrate joyfully, I'm sure. Mind you, get that tarp happening. Remember, it's to appease the weather gods.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-79082661075360132402012-08-19T10:56:15.699-07:002012-08-19T10:56:15.699-07:00Oh my goodness, I hope the cold sores and all of t...Oh my goodness, I hope the cold sores and all of the "tangles" are worked out by next Saturday.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-37146272659946791162012-08-19T09:38:57.379-07:002012-08-19T09:38:57.379-07:00i'm sending the calm vibes your way across the...i'm sending the calm vibes your way across the water. <br />it will pass; you will enjoy; you will be stronger; this time of year is the hamster-spinning-on-a-wheel phase; bleh (please delete that which is not applicable or least supportive)<br /><br />PS: i need the vibes back when you've finished needing them - there is a stamped-addressed envelope accompanying them. just replac ein envelope, seal the flap and drop in the mail, thank you<br />;)pomomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338550638937829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-14993575922316358882012-08-19T08:36:44.928-07:002012-08-19T08:36:44.928-07:00Thank you F.
