The Wedding Shower...

I wish I could say it went off well, and for the most part it did...Except for the 830am phone call from my dad saying that mom was sick with the flu and could not make it...I would believe that if for the fact of :

 #1. She did not do this all the time- it was half expected from my sister and I. And
# 2. She did not sit across from me at the Easter dinner table, voicing her concerns and disdain over going....

I understand my mothers mental state, when she gets out of her comfort zone she freaks. But this day was special , a lot of planning and money was spent to make it a success and it would have been nice for my mother to be there and share in it with her grandaugter. *sigh*

 I ordered a cake from a local baker. She is so sought after and such an amazing artist that I had to call her in February to hire her for the last weekend in April. She created a tropical carrot cake with pastel pink and green fondet. It was beautiful, and killed my niece to run a knife through it.

The afternoon ended up on a lovely note,we played wedding games, and ate some great food. The happy couple received some very nice gifts for their new home. Her Great Aunt went over and above and gave her this large basket filled with bathroom items...

When she got to the picture I did for them, she teared up and passed it around for every one to see. It was a hit and she loved it!.
*sigh* now I am glad it is over, next up for the weekend of May 17 is the wedding...then saying goodbye as the newlyweds move to another state. So many changes this year for my family.......

Obama Gift Registry

How pompous and arrogant can one candidate be? Is this how deeply desperate his campaign is for funds? If I found out one of wedding guest or guest to any sort of event had done this I would Be Peeved off with a capitol P.They might as well not show their faces at my event...

 Hey our  5 and 6 year olds have  birthdays coming up...lets explain to them that Obama needs his presents more then he does!  and that its the gift that keeps on giving...lol

But you know the worst part about it? Is there are those out there that will do it!  Kind of like all those Sunday  morning evangelist begging for money on the TV. There is always a sucker out there and this will appeal to a lot of them..they will do anything to keep their man in office...
