a special, enclosed garden that my cats and I enjoy every day, and that helps me slow down, reflect, and enjoy each moment of each day
the lovely young woman our son is marrying on Saturday
the soothing breeze that comes up each evening, from the Carquinez Strait, to cool down our non-airconditioned home each night
Kohl's Department Store, who had just the right "foundation garments" to wear under my dress as "mother-of-the-groom" for said wedding
safe travel for our younger son, from China back to the U.S., to be Best Man at his brother's wedding
my husband, who didn't scold me for buying him a new white dress shirt just because I thought the one he already has is just a teensy bit grayish
the cutest little clutch that will be the perfect purse to carry at the wedding
my mom and dad for hosting 8 or more people at their home so that we can all enjoy the wedding without the expense of a hotel room
an invitation to tea in late June with the Westcoast Scrappers
my sister, Denise, for doing all the work (including getting the pint-sized tux) so her son, Adam, can be ring-bearer in the wedding
Crystal Light pink lemonade
my sister, Lisa, who affirmed that it was ok for me not to get my underarms waxed even though I'll be wearing a sleeveless dress for the wedding
flip-flops
my in-laws, Art and Betty, who wish so much that they could attend the wedding and send their Best Wishes to the bride and groom
pedicures
a brand-new wedding band for me that exactly matches my husband's (to replace the one that I lost a couple of years ago)
sunless bronzer by L'Oreal
my cousin, Laurel, who just moved to Benicia (how great is it to have family in town??) and who will look in on my kitty-babies while we are off to the wedding
micro-wave popcorn
gift cards because they make gift-giving SO easy
seedless watermelon -- it makes dieting so much nicer
my dad who will bless the rings of our son and new daughter-in-law
mockingbirds, hummingbirds, and squirrels, all of which my cats love to watch in the garden, and I love to TRY to photograph
family members making time to come to the wedding even though there are lots of other things going on in their lives
digital cameras, and the realization that I don't need to worry about taking photos at the wedding because Jeff Fassett of Fassett Weddings Photography will be there, wooohoooooooo!
two orange tabby cats urging me to come to bed. . . .
