Party Preparations: All Systems Go

The countdown is on to our biggest party of the year...

Guests invited: Yes, but room for more if you'd like to come
Guests of honour from London: Flying in on Saturday.
Food bought : Spent more time in Jewel and Costco this month than in my entire life
Drinks bought: Yes, even got that fancy root beer for the band that no one stocks. Honestly, these musicians are so demanding.
Lists created: So many, I now have a list of lists to write.
Decorations: Yes, but currently in a big bag in the family room.
Grill: Of course. Oops, must add propane to the list
Music: Still need music (and outdoor music system come to that) for when the band takes a break. Grumpy insists on downloading which means we'll get a compilation of Now That's What No One Would Call Music.
Web Cam: All ready to go for live video link up with kids back home.
Weather: Put in my order for low 80s, sunny all day with a fabulous sunset at 8.50 p.m.

As usual the reality of all this is that Grumpy and I have fought over every item , from the number of poppyseeds we need on the hot dog buns to where to place the gazebo. (Won't tell you my suggestion for that one).
