PUPPY FEVER

These guys are so cute! I found them on www.puppyfind.com I've been having puppy fever really bad lately. I know it may not be the smartest choice right now, but they are so cute and lovable and I really need some companionship right now. One is named Sarge and one is Li'l Jack. They are located at different breeders in SW MO... close to Sherry and Chris! We might go visit one day soon! Yes, I remember how big a brat Lucky was.... haha. But she turned out to be a pretty cool dog and a great friend to me the past 8 years. I was thinking just today how she used to steal John's crossword pencils off the table. I used to get a big kick out of that but it really made him mad! He would be working on one, get up to go do something else for a while, then come back and the pencil would be gone! Lucky was sneaky that way. Nobody could catch her in the act but you knew who did the deed!

The knee is doing better. I can walk, kinda sorta. Just don't ask me to run any races any time soon!

Meet Mark

Hey family, for those of you who missed the opportunity to meet Mark at Christmas time, here is a picture. (So you will recognize him at the wedding!) Don't know if he will have the facial hair or not. Probably will not be wearing the hat! Oh well, just look for the tall guy in a tux standing next to Eliora.

Mission Accomplished!

Our bride has the 'perfect dress'. We found it at our first stop at Kari's in McPherson! They all arrived at my house at 8:30 for cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate, then off to Mac. We were there a few minutes before the doors opened and when they unlocked we stormed the place! Got Hannah to help us, she was fantastic. Since we were first in the door we got the BIG room with several chairs, a wall mirror that was at least six foot tall by about ten foot across with another mirror on the opposite wall. We brought in about twenty dresses and then the fun began. Eliora had them off and on and off and on and in piles of favorites, maybes, noways. Narrowed it down to about five and retried those five on. Ended up with a stunning dress but I can't give any of the detail of it or a picture cause you never know, the groom might stumble onto it and that just can't happen. So, two hours later we leave, everyone happy, except maybe poor Hannah who had to put away all those rejects! Went to lunch at a great little Deli recommended by the girls at Kari's and then we came back to Hutch. Eliora and her brides maids are now off shopping for dresses for those girls. I am taking a nap!

Wedding Dress Day

Tomorrow is wedding dress shopping day! I am loading up black beauty with a gaggle of girls to traverse the state in search of the perfect wedding dress for Eliora! It will be a blast, did this with Shaina and we had sooo much fun! (Except for poor Megan who was still a bit incapacitated from the night before.) Everyone is meeting at my house and then heading to Mac to Kari's, this is where Shaina found her perfect dress so hopefully we will have similar luck for Eliora. We will head to Wichita from Mac and that will be good cause this weekend is also the BIG bridal fair in Wichita. Just wish it weren't so cold.
