Went to a Garden Party...

this song takes me back...

Holy Cow!

it says it's from August 1985....

I was 28 years old,

which takes me to the point...

I am co-hosting

a bridal shower at the end of the month

for my step-daughter (28 yrs. old).

Because of the large number of out of town guests,

she wanted to be able to invite her future in-law family to

a shower, here in her hometown.

Makes sense to me.

Because I am just about the only person 

who lives here, I have been doing a lot things

that it would be unrealistic to leave until the week before

the wedding.

I have made dozens of decisions....

all of them will effect others...

Sometimes I get a little worried about how they will react.

It's not that I have any trouble making decisions.

I know what I like.

But, 

I do not want to "be the boss" of this occasion.

So...

whenever I feel the need to worry,

I think about the lesson Ricky Nelson sings of...

"learned my lesson well,

you see you can't please everyone,

so you gotta please yourself"

Amen, brother!
