BRIDAL shower!
We gathered at La Madeleine in Grapevine this afternoon to honor the bride to be with a SHOWER of gifts!
This was MY kind of party!
Good food!!
Pretty flowers!
A lovely lady! Many friends!
Lots of FUN!
The best EVER 'shower game!'
As Leah unwrapped gifts she would wad the tissue paper and pitch it to the back of the room where THIS gal caught it basketball style!
Even my super cute sister got in on the action!!
Cake!!
We all just had the loveliest time! Everyone is so happy for Leah!
I can hardly wait for the wedding! It is in September and it promises to be as unique and interesting as Leah is! I am certain it will be a ONE of a KIND wedding!!
Grapevine is just a short drive away so I was home in no time, changed into comfy clothes and settled down in the gazebo with Louis Dean for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
He is such a dear man. I asked him to PLEASE move the ladder!
He wasn't quite finished with the drain spout project - you know! The one where he took up the deck and dug yet another trench and laid more pipes so the den will NEVER flood again?
Notice all the different materials he's used to fashion that drain spout!
He DID mention he will help me paint it all the same color!
You remember the area that I try to NEVER show in pictures where Sanford and Son live in our back yard?
Louis Dean decided he would build us an evening fire and burn some of the rotten wood that he had accumulated! That's one way to get it cleaned up, I guess!
While he tended his fires, I marked squares for quilts and played my Facebook Scrabble and WWF games.
I keep up better since I have a NEW PHONE!!
He's so cute!
We were fresh OUT of marshmallows! I will fix THAT tomorrow - just in case he builds another fire this week!
The fire is out and we are in. It's been a good day.
Church services this morning and only fun things to do all afternoon.
Being relaxed and rested is a nice way to start a fresh new week!
