Seventeen Days and Counting

The event that has been on my mind for 13 years (okay, maybe not all 13) will be in 17 days.  We are in the last details. . . . and I mean the last details, such as:

1.  Place cards - confirming that every body has a table!
2.  Making sure each vendor has a meal for Saturday night.
3.  Making hair appointments
4.  Emailing directions to the museum to local people; and preparing directions for the hotel bags.
5.  Making sure I know all the allergies for each guest. 
6.  Choosing the perfect song for each special guest to light a candle.
7.  Final meal counts!
8.  Suit fitting this weekend for the men.
9.  My dining room can be called the Bar Mitzvah room.  The Bar Mitzvah room holds the kippot for Saturday morning, the socks for Saturday night, the centerpieces for Saturday night, the hospitality bags for the hotel guests and my binder with all Bar Mitzvah related stuff. 

The other thing I am thinking about is the Hora.  I hate that chair.  I know I need to sit on the chair, and smile for the photographer.  But, I hate the chair.  I won't let it mar the event.

In a few weeks I will be posting photos of the event!  And the event will be in the past.  However, in May 2016 we get the date for Naomi's Bat Mitzvah!  Stay tuned!
