Wonderful.

Peace be with you and your family.

All the little people of Rosebud Falls will be toasting the young couple.

Dad can smile.

Been a little busy these last few months.

 

I now proclaim that all is ready.

 

The roses have been trimmed with care and are in full "second bloom".

Nine cubic yards of mulch adorn the rose beds.

The patio has been washed, scrubbed, and had an acid rinse.

The windows and blinds have been cleaned and polished.

The carpets have been steam cleaned.

The lawn has been manicured with special care.

 

The guest bedroom has a fresh coat of paint.

The guest bath has a new sink and fixtures.

Both trucks have been washed and waxed.

The driveway scrubbed and rinsed.

 

Two yards of rock and gravel have been added to the Rosebud Falls Scenic Railway.

Half a yard of new ballast lay between the ties.

The residents of Rosebud Falls have on their finest clothing.

The engines have been serviced.

The Batteries are all charged up.

The cars have been washed.

The fast trawler SS Minnow has been outfitted for the up coming voyage.

Visiting motive power is scheduled to arrive on Friday.

 

The "Planning Coordinator" has approved and has taken over the yard.

The caterer and the DJ are arguing with the Planner as to who goes where in the yard.

Little flags mark the lawn where tables and chairs will soon sprout.

The florist just left with three 5-gallon paint buckets filled with rose petals.

The photographer has double checked all his camera angles.

 

The phone just rang.

They say my Tux is ready for pick up.

The Mother and Father of the Groom arrive tomorrow.

For on Saturday, Daddy's little girl becomes a Wife.

 

Yeup. I think this job is just about finished!

 

Pictures of the run will be available soon.
