A beautifully-decorated package arrived from Mary Lynn D'Aubin; April, Cari & Rico helped me unwrap a Murano Glass Cockatiel, which is lovely. Thank you so much, Mary Lynn!
On Friday, 7 May, I returned The Engagement Ring to Chris so that he could finish matching The Wedding Band to it . . . they will have to fit together. The next day, I paid Jane the Florist & Ann the Baker. VetteMan & I met with Frank the Bartender & Jeff the Wedding Planner to go over some items; Jeff has the entire event well in hand, however, so there isn't much for me to do, other than finish making The Program & The Menu Insert. We will be having an Electronic Guest Book (guests will sign on a laptop; I will then transfer what is written to this web site, with each guest's picture), and I still have to set that up.
Over the weekend, a package from Jackie McGuinness in England arrived; we didn't have the digital camera at home so we unwrapped it Monday evening after my Yoga class, as well as a package from my Aunt, Johanna Loveless in California and gifts from a friend in Yoga class, Donella Elsen.
(Now that I look at the pictures, I sure wish I'd waited another day, after I'd had my hair cut!)

Several people have told me they are now seeing PARROT decorations everywhere . . . Donella found this Parrot Plate and brought it to Yoga Class for us . . . we'll be using it as a rimmer for the Margarita salt. Unfortunately for us, while we're PRETENDING to be in the Tropics on 22 May, Donella actually will BE in the Tropics - Grand Cayman, to be exact.

Not having any detail work to do, I am looking for other things to do . . . such as making these Shirt Tags to put on the shirt hangers after I iron the shirts, so everyone will know which set belongs to whom.
The Marriage License is safely stored in my Wedding Plans Folder; I found white slacks, so my Bridal Outfit, such as it is, is complete. Personalized Thank-You Notes for the Wedding Party are also finished; the gifts are wrapped for Wednesday's Rehearsal. The Programs are printed & folded.
