Gone to bed...
Due to two extremely crazy busy and late nights, then driving home after midnight (an hour and a half) because DD has to work this morning, Fort Worth Friday has been cancelled for today. It'll be back in two weeks on its next regularly scheduled day.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Light fuse and get away...!
The title of this post is the instructions on many many fireworks. As you know, we sell fireworks. The reason we sell them is because we used to shoot them. The title also became a joke during the show. Not that you shouldn't get away after you light the fuse, however! Safety first, always.
No one else around here decorates for the 4th, but me. I'm the lone house with red, white, and blue paraphernalia draped all over. But that's okay!
Today, I'm preparing to head south to help DH man the store. I do miss the olden days when hubby just spent thousands of dollars on the fireworks and prepped everything in my living room, and then we went someplace and had us a three hour show, hanging out with friends and family, and actually celebrated the day. Oh, well... Maybe one day soon. For now, I leave you with these...
Have a safe and happy 4th, y'all.

Here comes the bride, part 2...
The wedding Friday was nice. Short and sweet, thank goodness, since the ceremony was performed outside. Pictures as I promised, but of the venue more than the wedding since I realize my family is not necessarily of interest to you. Inn on Lake Granbury was lovely, though the bed sucked and I didn't sleep well. Anyway, pictures as promised:
Okay, one picture of the happy couple, Tracey and Luc.
One of the highlights of the evening (for me) was when my nephew (the bride's son) and his date two-stepped. They were very good and are partners and attend dance competitions.
So there you have it! Been to a wedding lately?

Here comes the bride...
For the fourth time.
Today's pretty much a bust for me friends. My sister in law is getting married.
The wedding is at six p.m. an hour away from where I live.
I will be leaving the office at 1 or 2. (YAY)
So have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday with pictures of who knows what.

Craft Project with Bamboo
Okay, it's not what you think...
Not last Christmas, but the Christmas before (so 2011), I received a lovely little bamboo plant. It was in one of those mottled gold vases and had a Christmas pick with a trumpet on it. This was my appreciation gift for picking up one of Tim's band mates for early practice most of the semester. I'll admit I was a little taken aback by the gift--not that I didn't appreciate the thought, but it was a bamboo plant in an Asian vase from a family that hails from El Salvador. Plus I had NO plants at the time because I kept killing them by forgetting to water them or not giving the right amount of light of something...
Here it is...
Obviously, I managed to not kill it and here we are eighteen months later and I figured it was time to get the thing a new pot so it could maybe grow even bigger. I've mulled on what type of pot for a couple of months now, but for all the time I've spent in the garden center of The Home Depot, nothing has tickled my fancy.
Now this little guy has grown on nothing but water so I figured water was fine and that I'd just buy more fish-tank-type rocks for the pot. But I was in the closet the other day and glanced up at my shelf full of glass vases. (C'mon, we've all had that collection at some point, if not still...) And thought, yeah, that'd work, with some of those pretty decorative rocks from the craft store. And I just so happen to know someone who works at Michael's. So I texted DD yesterday and asked her pick me out some in green.
So from the above, with the help of:
I now have this:
And I love it. I just have to find someplace other than my kitchen counter for it to live now...
