I have this birdhouse planter in a corner of my deck.
I have had it for years, but this is first year that a bird has decided to use it for her nest.
How exciting!
I went to Joanne's today and they had 80% off their Garden Gate line.
80% off!
I bought 8 basket planters with liners and 2 bird feeders.
I do love a good sale.
My BIL and SIL are having their 25th anniversary today. They booked their party through me at the hotel (for those who are new to my blog, I am the Banquet Sales Director at a hotel). They are going all out with 140 people-- full appetizer table -- 3-entree buffet -- full dessert table and host bar.
It should be very, very nice.
It BETTER be very, very nice! I get so nervous when we are doing parties for relatives. I really shouldn't because I know we are the best facility in town and everyone will work hard to make sure the event is a success. But still I know if any little thing is wrong I will feel like it's all my fault. I'm especially worried that the Chicken Roma will be dry--you know how easy it is to get a dry chicken breast. I've talked to both chefs and we decided that a nice white sauce would give us extra insurance, so that is what I suggested to my sister-in-law. She agreed. I am crossing my fingers that it turns out good.
Off now to shower and get ready for 4pm mass, then off to the party.
The first thing I will do is head to the bar for a cold glass of white zinfandel to ease my jitters.
I'm sure the anniversary party will be a smash!
ReplyDeleteI only got 50% off of the Garden Gate stuff at Joann's yesterday. Darn! I didn't buy hanging planters, but little metal fences and old-fashioned looking plant ID pokes and a ceramic dish to use as a ground bird bath.
Chickadees are SO adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky for you to have a tenant.
