Thanks to those who expressed concerns about my mental or physical state after my last post, titled "Decay."
The wood in that photo is the bottom of one side of my pool pump house and it dismays me to see it, since the repair will likely cost a bit more than I'd care to spend on a pump house I have never liked anyway. The guy who built it must have been 8 feet tall and skinny as a rail. In order to service the pump, backwash it, turn off the motor or get it restarted when it fails, one has to be a tall, thin acrobat who is so limber as to be perfect for a Cirque du Soleil production. Clearly, I am only one of those - tall (although that is changing too....part of that 'decay' thing, I guess.)
If I'd had any sense back when we bought this house 30 years ago, I'd have had that pump house replaced with something that allowed a person of moderate size to walk around all sides of the pump without having to dodge or step over pipes. I'd also love to know how to make it spider proof, since every time I open the door I have to use a broom to clear the cobwebs and their residents.......ew...ick...ugh. Bug sprays are only temporary; don't ask me how I discovered that.
Wedding plans and discussions about them have been taking nearly all my attention for the past 2-3 months. They are not for the faint of heart; I can tell you that with NO hesitation.
However, my daughter has done an amazing job in a very short time and it all comes to fruition on Saturday next. You probably will not hear from me again until it is all over.

It is exciting though isn't it?
I want to hear all about what you are going to wear.
*Weddings can be so stressful, but when it all comes together it is worth the effort. I am sure of one thing; your daughter will have the most beautiful corsage and flower arrangements that any bride ever enjoyed.
I am looking forward to the photos. Stay calm and enjoy the happy day.
I know what weddings can be like. I hope yours turns out wonderfully. I'm sure the pictures will be a treat.
Try to get some rest and enjoy the big day!
we can rebuild it...
so excited for the wedding posts!
It is very excitinf Judy! I hope ALL goes wonderfully and I also hope we get to see pictures of this very special event!
As to that Pump House---it does sound ghastly! Especially the spiders....!
I guess a re-do is in order.
Another wedding? This is a busy summer. Hope all have a wonderful time but that's likely a given.
The area for our well pump is not very snazzy and it is rare that I have to re-start the pump, but when occasion calls for me (like these days since Ron is off his feet) I battle the wasps, spiders, and other creepy crawly thing to get our water going again.
I am getting ready to be absent for a while also but not for any reason as grand and exciting as a daughter's wedding. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Weddings are so exciting, though. Do tell us all about it later! And show us the photos.
As for the pump house - just think how many dead and half dead flies you'd find if the spiders weren't there!!
Thinking of you!
Go for it, Judy. Enjoy your time off, although it sounds pretty stressful too!, and we'll be here when you get back.
Thanks for stopping by my site! I had to pop over here, and looky: it's all spidery in here. I've learned to almost enjoy spiders. It's all attitude. That doesn't stop me from sweeping my hands in front of my face when hiking in the fall. Those fall spiders are the size of badminton birdies.
