March 27, 2012. Canyon Lake, Texas. Organizing.

It is eighteen months in the future, but I am busy organizing.  Several years ago, Ken and I decided to celebrate our 55th anniversary at the ranch in Texas.  It seemed easier for the family to hold the party in Texas.  Since then, we have been talking and thinking about the event.  We got suggestions from David and Suzanne, also Andrew and Christina so we knew   how to proceed.   Now it was time to get organized.

Since we have been in Texas, a period of two weeks,  we have ordered the tent,  tables and chairs.  The caterer is set, even to the choice of food.   Because we are at a remote location, we will serve both lunch and dinner every day.  The bunkhouse has been installed and the electrician is at work.  The portable toilets have been ordered.  Tomorrow, Ken and I will select the 12 trailers we will bring to the ranch so at least some guests and relatives can stay at the ranch.  And that is all that needs to be done at the moment.  For the moment, I can relax.

The next time we come to Texas, which will be in the Fall,  I will purchase the napkins,  paper plates and cutlery, and coffee.   This trip we will taste local wine and get it ordered, to be delivered in October, 2013.   David usually buys all the beer and ice, usually, right at the end.  So we are well on the way to organize our 55th anniversary celebration.  Thank heavens.
