August 9, 2007

Busy day here, today. We're getting ready for the "Clan Bake" in earnest. Tomorrow Steve, Amy, and Jerry will arrive and our little nuclear family will have a day to visit before the rest of the family arrives on Saturday. Below is a photo of the "scene of the crime." We're planning to set up tables on the front lawn under the trees and grill sausages on the barbecue along with skewers of vegetables - yummy! We've got horseshoes and croquet and lots of beer!

One of my tasks was to create labels and attach charms to all the wine glasses - that was rather fun, actually.

I also wrapped all the cutlery in cloth napkins.

Lastly, I finished painting the wheelbarrow which will be full of ice and beer on Saturday. (Looks pretty good, eh?)
