Play things by ear....
The La Vine's from Wisconsin
Growing up my family was not one to plan...anything - ever! We would leave for a 2-4 week family vacation to Florida sometimes on a one day notice - we knew we were going in March but never knew exactly when. Another thing that contributed to this is when you own your own business plans get changed for you...whether you like it or not because the business NEEDS you. So over the years our family has learned to live day by day or in our family's words: "play things by ear"!! Which has now become an on-going joke when weddings, birthday parties or even holiday events are being planned - some day the grandchildren will understand!! :-)
