WooHoo AND Yaaay-yes!!
It was so good to hear your voice tonight! AND,...good to hear you taking deep breaths and enjoying your stay in Esteli! Oh, Molly, NO YOUNG BRIDE SHOULD HAVE TO ORDER HER OWN DRESS AND GO ALONE TO HER FITTING. Sometimes, either *I* just suck .... OR you are just too far away. Both. Anyway, good job. I'm happy that you are so thrilled with your choices, and I can hardly wait to see you wearing your beautiful, HAND CUSTOM MADE Nicaraguan wedding gown. Yes, we finally have tickets and a 'real' schedule. Now, just to get through these next coupla months so we can just GET THERE ALREADY!! Love you and miss you. Hugs enc. for you and Lenin and ALL of everyone else! X O

I KNOW.......
Molly, I KNOW that you're stressin' over schedules and making sure that everyone ELSE is having a good and satisfying visit during your WEDDING!!!! Am guessing that the debit card thang didn't help with everything else today. SO,...."just breathe", as that beautiful song says. TRY to relax a little and ENJOY all of this! OK? WE WILL handle the debit card mess from up here. No worries about $ ANYMORE!!! Promise?? Meanwhile, back in Missouri, this weekend is the Dogwood Festival...parade, carnival, etc. The trees are all leafing out so fast right now that a person can SERIOUSLY see the difference from one day to the next! Dogwood blossoms are being encased in "the green wall" of home. AND,......may I call you "MS. EDITOR" now?? CONGRATS, My Molly!! Well done! Love you! XO
