All Hands on Deck

"All hands on deck" because the birdie is coming. The yard is getting a make-over. The caterer has been hired. The desert has been ordered. Looks like there will be 20 of us. All the wives want to bring the husbands. I am trying to let tons of papers and books disappear. Probably won't find a thing for months after he is gone but it is worth it. Yes, the deck was repaired today as well. Everything will be just loverly on Tuesday. I am praying for mild weather that we can sit comfortably outside. Still got to get the wine. THAT I do myself. Yes, there will be a lovely dry German wine.
