Well, tomorrow morning I will be leaving for Chicago for the wedding
Bart will be spending the night so I can just wake him when it is time to drive me to the airport.
Today, I had a pedicure. I almost made the appointment for after the wedding. Sure glad I didn't. My does were a grown out green and raggedy looking. As I am wearing a yellow dress and open toed shoes, this would have looked like H E double toothpicks.
I had Brooke paint them a nice lavender which is in the sash on the dress.
The rest of the day I tried to rest. I planted the herbs that I had purchased a week or so ago and packed but that was about it.
You probably won't hear from me until I return. Pray for the happy couple as they start their journey.
I think you all know that Erin is not only my niece but my god daughter.

Just got off from a nice phone conversation with my friend Janet. The evenings get long sometimes and we always have so much to talk about.
Bart stopped by early this evening just before Barbara got off work and we had a nice visit too.
He and Barb and I will have dinner tomorrow night together. Then he will spend the night in my guest room as he has to get me to the airport by 4:30AM on Friday.
Tomorrow I have one appointment at 11AM and have to finish packing but will mainly rest as the the next three days will be SO busy.
May friend Maureen is picking me up at the airport in Chicago and will take me to the hotel. We are planning on catching up and just visiting for the afternoon. I am so looking forward to that.
So time to wind down again.
I love you all

What a great couple of days.
Today, I drove over to the Center for Creative Living and we firmed up the event that I hope will kick off a very active CWI - Celtic Women organization in Lawton.
On April 27th, the Center is supplying the place with lunch from 11AM to noon. At noon, I will read the Proclamation, (The Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Ireland, that was read on April 24 by Padraig Pearse on the steps of the General Post Office on O Connell Street in Dublin just after the Irish Republican Brotherhood occupied the property.)
I will be bringing the dessert. - Barm Brac, Guinness cupcakes and Irish soda bread.
I hope to get a number of people interested in the aims of CWI signed up for membership and begin a series of events that will keep the movement going.
I am packing for the big Wedding of the Century. I don't know if my Erin reads this but she would be amused at my labeling of the event as such. She is my niece and goddaughter so this does seem right. I am looking forward to spending time with my Chicago CWI friends on Friday and then with the DEELEY CLAN on Saturday and Sunday.
Isn't this day an age wonderful? When I was married (the first time) it was a miracle that Mother was able to come for the wedding. Travel in 53 years is a whole new game!!!!!
I love you all

Last night I was in church from 6:30PM to 11:30PM then spent about 30 minutes in the hall at a reception for the dozen people who were baptized and confirmed in our faith this Easter Saturday. The service is SO long because of all the blessings and the baptisms. My new church has a baptism pool. The candidates step in and Father Paul pours the water over them in the pool. Quite dramatic.
This morning, Bart, Barb and I drove to Dallas to spend the day with Timothy and Amber and their dear little man, one of my step great grandsons, Augie for Easter Dinner. Amber's parents and aunt and uncle and Timothy's father and his wife were also there. Quite a party. Lots of fun to be around a baby on his first Easter, especially with such pleasant people.
Augie is adorable. I have pictures but my phone is not connecting properly and I will have to work on it tomorrow when I am more alert to send some. I know that I have been bad about pictures. I am not doing as well with the process here in OK.
?So it is time for bed for this lady who is exhausted after two days of LOTS of activity.
Friday I leave for Chicago.
