August 28, 2011. Western Head, N.S. Planning Ahead.

We are as ready as possible.  The bathtub is full of water, as is the laundry tub.  Six pails are full of water an the bathroom floor of the first floor.  All the outside chairs and tables have been turned upside down.  We are ready.  It seems that we will miss the full force of the storm.  But we will have rain and wind and high tides.

We are also planning ahead for the celebration for our 55th anniversary in 2013.   So far, all  we have done is think and talk.   The place will be Texas, at the ranch, in October, over the holiday weekend.  The ranch is west of Fredericksburg, close to Harper, in the Hill Country.   Suzanne will talk to friends about caterers and David will research trailers and RV's.  We will install a bunk house for the girls this fall when we are there, but the main plans will be put in place in the fall of 2012.   The talking and the planning are the most important part of any event, so we are well underway.  Now we must keep thinking and keep talking before we begin implementing the plan.  It is never too early to plan!!
