Yesterday morning I stayed here. I baked the rest of the slice and bake cookies from last week to give to our neighbors whose house burned down. Ray drove to town and caught the bus. I did computer stuff and ate leftovers for lunch, with a little cheese in a tortilla, since we had used up the bread. I didn't know whether I might make more or take a loaf out of the freezer. After lunch, I started a casserole for supper to use up a cabbage we had picked and put in the cold room. The outer leaves were yellow, but there was a good small cabbage inside.

I drove to Athens to meet Janna at her house and we drove out to Winder to a
party rental place. They had lots of nice things and their prices were better than here. We won't  have to go there again; they'll deliver everything. The idea is that Janna will use some of the same things. The rental place will set up the tent on Thursday and leave everything here for us. Then we will put the dishes and tables and chairs and tablecloths in the pickup truck and take them to her house. She (Ron) will wash the things we use for the rehearsal dinner and we will bring them back Saturday morning. So, one job will be to put them in the pickup truck, bring them over here and set them up. We will have lots of people around, so it will not be hard to find someone to do that, I assume. We just want to do it early enough that we can decorate the tables before we have to get dressed for the wedding. Time to start working on a schedule. We also stopped at the florist, Always Always Flowers. The woman who runs it is from Holland. Her name is Desiree and she is so cheerful and loves her work, it is fun to talk to her. Janna ordered red and white carnations for the rehearsal dinner, 100 of them. I said we would bring them back for her to make into boutonnieres. I was just kidding, but I think she would have done it. We can use the carnations at the reception if we want to, or around the house.

I dropped her off and got to the house in time to pick up Ray and the dish he had finished making and head to potluck and choir.

Back home, I started a new book. I guess it's a murder mystery. I didn't know what to expect. It was a little gruesome for bedtime. My Dad recommended it a while ago. But I was able to put it down and go to sleep before too late.

Cold this morning, even with a fire, but the sun will be out after a while.
