Back to reality

Well, we had hoped to get some pictures up on the blog and provide more detail about our trip, but the weekend was absolutely crazy. We've gotten all of the pictures developed and whatnot and they look great - but there are a lot of them and we're trying to get them loaded onto the page here in an efficient way. Also, we're having a party this Saturday and there's just a lot of stuff to do.

We are also running into a fundamental problem: we don't like being apart from one another unless absolutely necessary. As a result, there's very little division of labor and things take a little longer. It's a problem that we are blessed to have. That said, we did get all of the announcements and invitations ready to go and, with the help of friends, planted nearly five hundred flowers at the front of the house. We also learned that the back of a VW Golf can hold fifty-one cubic feet of bagged hardwood mulch!

Now we just have to . . . clean and organize the house, buy food, drink, a good thirty pounds of clams and a LOT of seaweed, dig a big hole in the back yard, get a bunch of rocks and sand, get some burlap, see if we can fix the misters on the back of the house, and do our jobs . . . ok . . . gotta go . . .
