showers everywhere

It's been raining a ton here on the East Coast. Showers here and there. Speaking of showers (I am not good at segways) I (Mo) have been to two bridal showers in the past two weekends.

Two weekends ago was my sister, M3's, shower. Mom, M2 and I all took Friday off from our schools and converged on S. Jersey to get ready. We had a great time visiting, cooking and decorating. My mom's two friends from forever came down from PA and had a slumber party Friday night and helped a ton with the shower, esp. Saturday. The shower was great, the weather could have been better, we had to be inside the whole time. M3 looked cute and I was happy so many friends and family were there to celebrate her upcoming nuptuals. She received very nice gifts and had a fabulous time - except for having to wear the crazy "ribbon hat" that my cousin B was good enough to make for us while the gifts were being open. (Thanks B and it was great talking to you for so long afterwards)

Last weekend I drove to NE P.A. to the area where my mom, dad and most relatuives live for my cousin Mar.'s shower. It was wonderful to see everyone there esp. my Grandmother's sisters. They were all there together and I know they had a great time that weekend. Mar.'s shower was great - nice and short! (You know how some of those things get) Yummy cake!

It was so sweet of everyone, during both events, to ask how the adoption was going. Although we are not doing work right now people asking helps keep things going along. Such beautiful wishes. Everone is also asking: "Is it too late for the quilt?" Answer: "NO" PLEASE send your fabric and note, we are still hoping to get 100!

Happy Father's Day - Esp. to Bob, Ed and Cap

I haven't been in since your first note. It was wonderful to see you at the shower. I'm the one withthe BIG foot thing. I'm glad you an How are settled into NY living and find that is where you are comfotable. It would be nice to come visit some time. I will ahve to put that on my TO DO list of people to visit. The family is so big that it is hard to get to everywhere I would like to go. It has been over 40 years since i have been in the BIG city. I'm sure there is much the same and many new sites as well. I'll be anxiously awaiting your fantastic news....baby arrival. Hope it happens soon for you and How. God Bless! Aunt L
