It Takes A Village
My group of ladies is specialized in one thing – showering our daughters and daughters-in-law with love and blessings. We do that consistently to each other’s girls.
We give bridal showers to bless the marriages of the brides and grooms. The bridal shower gifts are enough to help the new couples to start the new homes with bedding linens, bathroom items, kitchen pots and pans, utensils and more.
When these princesses are expecting their babies, we give them baby showers – showering the new parents with warm wishes, cute baby gifts to support their new parenthood.
Even though my daughter lives 1000 miles away, and her baby shower is in Portland, Oregon. This group of ladies shows their love and support by contributing a sum of money to get several large items of baby gifts for my daughter.
This afternoon I went to a bridal shower for the daughter of a lady in this group. The party was elaborate with beautiful decoration and delicious food, sandwiches, scones, different kinds of tea and dessert. The gifts were generous. We enjoyed so much sharing the happiness of the bride-to-be. The groom-to-be showed up at the end, helping to carry the gifts home. We had a chance to congratulate him.

Thank you, Elaine. You have different outfit. Are you keeping your curly hair? Yes, the hostess is professional decorator and hostess by hobby. She is better than the professional that charges. She’s a perfectionist also. I won’t miss any party she hosts!

You are so observant Miriam, you notice little changes ☺️ If I curl my hair the day after I look like a dandelion clock, it expands to three times the size so I have to wash it 🙄😬 I am just going to curl it for special occasions now.
I would never miss any parties hosted by such a perfectionist. I remember years ago when I worked in newspaper advertising and I took some advertisers to a literary luncheon at a five star hotel in a place called Harrogate. A lady called Joanna Trollop was talking about her latest novel. The sandwiches and cakes were all beautifully made served on china crockery it is something I will never forget 😊
