Around the corner

The wedding is just around the corner. Things have settled down a bit so that I can finally get to work on my dress. My plans are to do that today.
I was contacted several weeks ago to make pies for the Yellowstone Club, where Rachel works, for an upcoming YC Camp weekend. Forty pies to be exact. So I enlisted Erin's help, she was going to do atleast 10, me the rest. Due to some obligations she had she was only going to get that many completed. It was alot of pressure but knew we could handle it. They wanted them for the 1st weekend in August. Well I made 14 of them when the "higher ups" decided to slim down the budget. So now I am waiting to hear if they will purchase what I have made. If not I will be selling them to others.
But alas when that fell through it has given me some extra time to work on my wedding dress. I also gained a quilt from Shirley to do, and a commissioned quilt for Kayla at the bank. Once everything goes back to normal I can get those 2 things done.
Also found out that Mom is coming in August for the wedding. Ofcourse she will be staying with us as the Butte Gang want to have nothing to do with her. We will never understand the childish selfish ways they are acting over the last several years. Not just towards Mom, but to the rest of the family. They have alienated everyone, including Erin and she is living in Butte and working for Allen! I am flabbergasted by the treatment. He did not even go to either Bonnie's or Annette's funeral. Mom is in her 90's now and I know she will always love her son-as she should- but she does not realize/recognize or admit how she is getting treated. That is due to her own health issues...dementia, alzheimer's, & back pain. Ofcourse when she passes they will gladly accept anything monetary she leaves them- such gratitude. Kudos go to Butch & Cheryl for what they have been doing for the past several years in caring for Mom. Ashley and I certainly appreciate it, and have told them that also.
Well I better get dressed so I can start sewing. Sewing Bee is this week also.
