Happy Anniversary!

Bubbly

Mmmm Prosecco. We started the evening with prosecco. It is a celebration after all.

Prosecco is an Italian wine — generally a dry sparkling wine^[1] — made from a variety of white grape of the same name. The grape is grown mainly in the Veneto region of Italy, traditionally in an area near Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso.

The wine, known as the main ingredient of the Bellini cocktail. It is also known under the name of ghera, glera, grappolo spargolo, prosecco balbi, prosecco bianco, prosecco tondo, proseko, sciorina or serprina.

A little foreshadowing. I see a brunch in our future. Bellinis and Crepes anyone?

Table Settings

White everything. The roses are form my garden. Plates form the kitchen. It all looks very fresh and lovely.

Tables take shape

As you can see from the picture the tables have transformed from pallets to plate holders. It was a LOT more work to take the pallets apart but they went together rather easily. We have 3 tables, each 48 inches long. This should seat 14. Our current evite indicateswe have 20 attending.

"HOOOOOOONEY, can you do one little thing for me? You know those tables you built? We need just one more"....smile.

Blue Steel

It was decision time for what would go up to block the neighbors house. Mike and I spent at least an hour at our local home improvement store mining for ideas.

We ended up torn between corrugated steal and reed. I think we were torn because we weren't that in love with either choice.

The reed fencing stuff looks pretty funky pretty quickly and I hate to do something so temporary.

The steal is so hard and space does not need more constriction.

So we Ro Sham Bo'ed and steel it is.

We don't have a truck so we put them in our 64 dart convertible and drove real slow. NOTE: put something between the edge of the steel and the rope you are using. Turns out steel cuts rope. Scary!

After a short but harrowing drive home it went up and looks terrific. Mike did an amazing job.
