Here are a few of my pics of the reception. The large center arrangement was made by Billy Rich….isn’t it grand? It looked even more amazing when the hanging lanterns were lit and all the food was in place. The twigs went all the way to the ceiling.

There were 10 tables for people to sit while they ate. Tina and I did all the arrangements on these tables. The white blobs you see at the top of some containers are floating candles. And the cloths that look pink, are not. They are actually a champagne color. The whole wedding was done in shades of white, cream and champagne.

Here are just a few very quick snapshots I took yesterday. There will be lots more…made by a professional photographer I know. These are by his very amateur mother.

“Which one of these flowers looks the best!”

Tara and Lori stop by and give their approval.

Flowers and greenery…everywhere!

Billy and Tina and Jan…getting it all together!

After we worked til 4:30, we flew home changed and went back to the church for the rehearsal…then on to the dinner…then CRASH!

Today, Tina and I begin the decorating process for Lori and Ben’s wedding on Saturday. We will start on the church decor today, and plan out exactly how we want everything arranged. We have someone who is doing the big floral arrangements, but the rest is up to us. We are geared up and ready to go. It’s going to be beautiful!

I have to go to work first, because I have 3!!! programs next week! Could things pile up anymore? Oh well, it will all happen and it will all be great! I’ll make some pics to share with you.

UPON EATING 3 MINIATURE SUGAR-FREE REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS……

I vow that I will never eat
Another of those tasty treats.

The chocolate’s good—it tastes so real
So why should I not eat my fill?

What it did to me–I shudder to tell
Suffice to say–it did it well.

On the package back–way down low
Are the teeny words that you should know.

A serving is 5- that’s what they say
But, I only ate 3 that fateful day.

Now, you should NEVER eat a lot
Or something’s gonna start–and it’s not gonna stop!

You’ll cry–you’ll moan–you’ll pull your hair
You’ll scream–you’ll yell–you’ll say a prayer.

You swear this has to be the end…
Surprise! Surprise! It’s back again!

So, the next time that you’re craving these
You are much better off with a piece of cheese.

As much as I wish to be thin–
I’ll never eat one of these again!

This was written a while ago, but I lost it and have just run across it again. I wrote this soon after ‘the experience’ because this is something I never wanted to happen to me again. Do you know the word ‘projectile’? I’m just saying. And, for the record…Regular, FULL SUGAR, Reese’s P-Nut Butter Cups have never had such a negative effect on my body…that is unless you count that little extra roll around my mid section.
