GRAMMA'S HOUSE

I got a call the other day from the internet blog police telling me that since I hadn't updated my blog for over a month it would be removed from the internet. Well, at least I know one person checks my blog!
I have been blaming my lack of updating on the fact I can't find my camera. Annie has pictures on her camera but she never brings up the cord. So this blog will just have to be without pictures until I find the camera (which maybe doesn't have anything on it anyway! Or Annie brings up her cord!
It was a busy month. Annie and Len have been here almost every weekend working on plans for their wedding. We should be getting most responses to the invitation this week.Unbelieveable how fas the time has gone.
They say weddings take on a life of their own. How true. This "simple" little wedding has changed its mind a dozen times, so its probably not classified as simple any more, but it is going to be beautiful, delicious, fun and most of all a day for us all to remember.
Kris and Melissa threw a bridal shower for Annie. I never did see the invitation until after it was all over, but there must have been some "directions" included.
We all sat cozily around Kris's extended dining room table. Melissa had put together a sweet "craft" project that we all objected too cause we weren't "crafty" then got into big time and it was a LOT of fun! (and we found out Annie is sensitive enough to be a princess!)
Kris had fixed a delicious lunch. Annie's favorite chicken salad, meat and cheese, crossiants, fruit plate, chips and dip, etc. She encouraged us to start thru the lunch line while Annie finished opening her gifts.
Just as we finished eating Kris brought in a square chocolate cake covered in chocolate frosting decorated with a pink heart and Annie and Len's names. She announced, "OK, Annie's shower is officially over and Lorene's birthday party begins!"
AWWW..they had all been in on it! Eventually the guys and the grandchildren all came back and we had cake and cheesecake and candles and singing and laughs and hugs, and OH it was GOOD!!!
After most of the guests had left my kids came carrying boxes and more boxes of some dinnerware I had looked at but chosen not to purchase. Now I have the prettiest dinnerware! Thank you my dear children. Being 60 is not so bad after all!
