Three Beautiful Things 08/24/18: Morning Relaxation, Getting the Party Prepared, Rehearsal Party

1. Our Airbnb house has a secluded back deck. Melissa sat our there first and she spotted deer walking along a trail below. I had a couple cups of coffee in the cool quiet of the morning with Melissa and before long the Deke joined us and we made some plans for the day.

2. Adrienne had errands to run and there were nails to be done. I've lost track of who all went to have manicures and pedicures in preparation for the wedding. The Deke and I joined Josh to keep an eye on kids and Josh started getting things prepared for the party that he and Adrienne were hosting after the wedding rehearsal.

3. The Deke and I returned to our room, relaxed, and then returned to Josh and Adrienne's after picking up some paper towels and ice cream. When we arrived, the party was well underway. Caterers had delivered brisket, pulled pork, chicken wings, macaroni and cheese, and cole slaw. Many people contributed a wide variety of beers. It was a merry event and included, among others, Josh's parents and their spouses, the Brian Diedrich family minus Ben and Tana, a good representation of the Deke's cousins, several members of the Hennessey family, Josh's sister and husband and children, and more. The food was superb, the mood of the party was festive, and beer drinkers seemed to enjoy having such a copious amount of beers to choose from.
