Showers

I have been to many "showers", baby and wedding. I rather enjoy them but sometimes the games are hard. Two I would like to mention. When Ray and I decided to get married my brother and his wife wanted to give us a shower. I told them no games and they said they would just feed the group. They borrowed a picnic table for their backyard in Topeka. It had one problem that since it was borrowed it was not anchored. Some of my friends sat down on it not thinking it was not anchored and the first four set on the same side. Needless to say the table went over along with all the food that was on it. The party had been a little stiff and that really broke the ice. The rest of the party was fun.

The second shower was a baby shower in Lawrence for a grandchild who was about to be born. I guess Kelly did not like not being invited but instead decided her mother should have the baby. So while we had the party with refreshments and games, we found out that the baby was a girl and doing well at the Lawrence Hospital. After we heard the news it sort of broke up the party. It should tell you to have the party earlier or later.
