Finally went to Gibbs Gardens to see the daffodils. They were pretty, but it was SO CROWDED. Very few people with masks. I looked and went home. I was able to avoid people for the most part, but the numbers made it unenjoyable (even if there was no pandemic). Also, this big ta-da wasn't THAT spectacular. I'm actually not sure why it gets such fanfare. The daffodils are scattered over the property so the "numbers" didn't make the impact I thought.
Heavy rains, thunderstorms ALL WEEKEND long. Come on, Universe -- throw us a sunshine bone. What a huge bummer on so many levels. My heart is sad for the kids. I'm hoping still, but this is a huge storm front again -- not just rain so it's not likely to change much. It's getting worse every time I look at it.
GA is open for everyone over 16 to get vaccinated. Start the mass waves again. I found a link to get hubby's second vaccination scheduled so he's all set. Now I'm working on helping my eldest get an appointment when he gets back from his preview honeymoon.
Today is about prepping me for the wedding. Toe painting, hair and makeup practice. I also have to call Top Golf and check policy regarding thunderstorms and I need to order the bagels for DIL and the gals for breakfast. That's all on the agenda. I'm sure I'll find some other things to keep the day full. Enjoy the process -- need to hear this over and over. I get so task oriented, specifically task-complete oriented, I forget to enjoy it.
I'm so so so stinking bummed about the stormy weekend. Trying to turn it around in my head and that's not working well. Of course, it will be nice and they'll be married and all those good things ... but, they aren't getting much of any kind of wedding with the pandemic and now pictures in jeopardy. There's no dancing so the yard games were the activity -- not anymore. We'll all do everything we can to make the day special and fun for them. Smiles all around.
I really want to throw them a family party when the pandemic is over. Poor kids. They are taking it all in stride, but I know they are disappointed too.
Have a happy day. I hope vaccinations are in good supply for you too. Later gators.
