Howdy! We are busy in our wedding season. We have had 8 weddings since May for the studio and 3 for Avalon. We have three more weddings and one is at Avalon before the middle of August. So we have been chasing ladies in white dresses all summer. We are really looking forward to a break in September.
We are both doing well and staying healthy. Darrin has been working a lot out at Avalon. A railing has been installed around the deck at Avalon and it looks really pretty and will keep guests from walking through our flower beds. We have had some trouble with some flowerbeds getting too much water and plants not doing well so Darrin has been replanting and adjusting the watering system all summer.
We just got the latest Bridal Magazine yesterday and it looks awesome. We were able to get ad space on the back of the magazine and hope that this increases Avalon's visibility. There is also a very nice article about Avalon in the section titled "The Most Beautiful Places to Marry in the Brazos Valley". We have a bridal show September 21st to get ready for and it looks like we will get a booth at the local meeting planners showcase where we can meet local meeting planners that may need space for corporate meetings and retreats. Hopefully that can open a different area for Avalon to be a part of---especially for Monday-Friday during the day.
Last night I went over 170,000 miles in my car. I have had my Cavalier since late 1998 and have been very pleased with it. Darrin's Nissan Pathfinder is a 1997 with ~287,000. We would love to get 300,000 on it.
Well, I had better get busy. Hope you have a wonderful week!!
