The girls will play. While the boys were bachelor partying in Vegas (they survived…barely…), Lauren’s aunt threw a lovely bridal shower at Seven Gables Inn. It was a charming place for a shower with a cute courtyard where we gathered for yummy drinks before the shower.
Lauren looked darling, as always. We’re so glad to have another female in the family!!
Her aunt left no detail to chance. The flowers on the tables were from the florist who is doing their wedding flowers. They were so pretty!
We had little sachets with our names for place cards at the tables. So cute!
My sister, of course, would not let me get a photo of her…but we expect that now, don’t we??
Caught my mom when she wasn’t looking.
The food was so yummy and set up so cute. They used glass blocks and sheets of glass on the serving tables. Very cute. Must steal that idea for my next party…
More photos on Facebook.
We’re getting excited about the wedding now!! October 6th! Not long now!!

The boys are coming to town…
Rumor has it that 20 + males are hitting Vegas this weekend for our oldest’s bachelor party. I’m not sure Vegas is ready for them.
I’m sure they’ll be okay….and not cause much trouble…she said, hopefully.
they look innocent enough
Kinda…
I’m not sure how these little boys got to the grown up stage
They grow up so quickly…
But can I just say…what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…I’m sure this mama doesn’t want to hear about 99% of the stuff that will go on this weekend. Stay safe. Be good. Have fun. (in that order…)

Seriously, I can’t remember a summer this hot for so many days in a row, and this dry. Dry. Dry. We haven’t had any significant rain since before we started building our house at the beginning of May. We’ve lost a few trees, some bushes…our yard is a joke. No tomatoes. My lilac that finally bloomed doesn’t look very good…
But I’m always surprised at the survivors. The flowers that weather the drought.
A few zinnias have survived where all the other flowers in the garden have succumbed to the heat and drought.
A few random flowers that I don’t even like have survived…but that’s another story….
This pale zinnia with its hint of lilac is so pretty, braving it’s way up between a lot of burned out foliage.
Well, we all do whatever it takes to survive the heat and the dry weather, now don’t we?
So how are your flowers and gardens surviving this summer? And what are you doing to survive the heat??
