While Alison was here, we went to the liquor store and picked up two more cases of beer, plus ten bottles of champagne. The guest count is now up to 68 (good grief!) and I'm getting nervous. I sent an e-mail to some of our closest friends (and neighbors) asking for help with the party and of course, received prompt and enthusiastic replies.
Called brother Frank in Alameda; they're coming into Baltimore today and will drive down with son and DIL, Patrick and Susan. Talked to Betty and will meet her for lunch today with some of her friends after I go to Pleasantville to pick up the tablecloths we're renting.
And now the glitches: Good thing I tried on my dress, because it doesn't fit! My outfit for next week's party is an 8 petite and fits fine, but I need a 10 in the dress. Will exchange when I'm in Atlantic County today.
Second glitch: Went to the clubhouse to re-check and found a note on one of the round tables saying it's broken. Hope we can pull in two of the smaller ones from the porch and use them--I'm really worried we don't have enough seating.
If there are any other glitches, I don't want to know about them.
