Third granddaughter is getting married in Dover 3 days after we get back. We aren't even going home - just catching a flight straight out. Here's the kicker. Small wedding - siblings, parents, grandparents. No aunts & uncles, no cousins. Dress code is formal. No pants, no black, and no patterns. Showed her two options I could wear; one was too casual, one was too dark. "Grandma, can't you just wear a summer dress that's a warm one color, maybe straps over your shoulders?"
"Mac, have you SEEN me? They don't make dresses like that for short fat women!!".

I'm not really sure what I'm going to wear, but I DO know that it's going to be stupid hot wherever we're going to be. :(
Take a few pictures of you and Lew by the white chalk cliffs for us.

Not exactly sure.

I wouldn’t call no pants as formal. Especially for those that go commando.

Lew in a dress, too? That's one piece compared with shirt and pants. He likely wouldn't forget that.

Yeah we have a friend getting married up here in the Twin Cities (likely flip flops and Hawai'ian shirts). So we will have a bunch of friends staying at our house for the weekend. Not sure where we are going to put them all, but we'll make it work...

By the way, I have never seen this. I should probably go see it. I could use a giant doughnut right about now...


EDIT: I just read that Hans' Texas doughnut is no more. :( Is this true?!?
Evidently Hans was purchased by some local chain and their pastries are not good anymore.

So I think I might have mentioned that about 3 weeks ago daughter's gecko got out of his enclosure and was no where to be found. We were starting to think we might not see him again.

Yesterday morning after I had traipsed through the living room to the couch in the dark a couple of times and even walked over to open the blinds I was walking by again and I noticed him sitting right in the middle of the living room floor. I woke up daughter and Mrs. Velo. We were worried that he might be pretty skittish after his ordeal so I distracted him while daughter put an ice cream bucket over him and he never even flinched. He is pretty skinny now and he was licking everything when we put him back in his enclosure and misted it down. I think he had had enough and was just like, "Okay, okay, I get it; I give up. Just put me back in the damned cage where I'm safe and I get three squares."

We were a little worried about the little guy because he was so skinny and clearly dehydrated, but he seems to be doing well.
