Wedding Update and College Roommates
Email at work still dead all day.
Change in wedding flower vendor. Received quote for $850 from new, supposedly cheaper, vendor. This is several hundred dollars higher than expected, so we'll use the original vendor. Change in food plans. Instead of making finger sandwiches (and dictating choices for the guests) we will supply meat and cheese trays, rolls, fruit, and veggie trays. Guests will roll-their-own buffet "finger feast" of choice.
Nate blew off the driveway Tuesday in preparation for Crystal's bridal shower this Saturday. He changed the oil in his car and Crystal's. Took oil, and old battery from Crystal's car, changed a few months ago, to the dump. Crystal helped clean house. Nate and Crystal went to soon-to-be new apartment and bought dresser from outgoing tenant for $35.
Beau and Deb, old college roommates, sent email yesterday saying they are considering coming to Crystal's wedding. All of my family will already be staying at our house, and there are many last-minute preparations involved. It would be a shame for Beau and Deb to spend the money, and come this far, when we can't spend much time with them. Their past visits, when we visited wineries and just hung out, were always fun. However, this time would be extremely hectic.
Called Beau this morning and we chatted about their plans. He said they had already done this twice with other friends' weddings and, if they come, would be doing so while fully aware of the realities. He will be in Minneapolis on business just before the wedding and might try to change flight to a 3-leg. They also have a friend in Berkeley who they could see. He would be able to use frequent flyer miles and motel points to do the wedding trip for very low cost.
Spoke with Beau again in the evening again about their plans, his Linksys wireless network troubleshooting, and Microsoft Knowledge Base. They'll come visit another time instead. Beau recently bought a 30-year old Weatherby 12 gauge over/under shotgun with a flawless walnut stock. He shot the gun for the first time tonight. Also discussed wiring of house for sound and network.
Other Beau and Deb news: In the last year they installed new deck, heater, air conditioner, water softener, doors, and kitchen. They are now expanding master bedroom and bath into a suite, adding about 300 square feet. There will be a sitting area with a view.
