It was warmer this morning than it is now. The sun was out for a few brief moments but there has been a drizzle of rain now and again. Typical ‘spring’ day! Kath picked me up about 10:15am and we went to a bridal shower in Delmont at Station House 7. The building was old and quaint and inside was a hidden jewel! I never knew it was there.

The shower was for our Skunk Hollow cousin Gwen’s daughter Tara, who is marrying Jacob in May. She looked stunning in her long white dress and dark hair! The beautiful wooden tables were dressed in elegant table runners and place settings. Even the name cards were sparkly. There was a coffee bar, a donut station, and a wine and punch bar that had sparkle drink bombs to drop into your glass to turn the drink a shimmery gold. Digestible glitter! We had fruit, yogurt, bacon, sausage, mini-pancakes, and bagels with choices of spread. Everything was a delight to the eyes and the stomach!

After brunch we went upstairs to round tables covered in white cloths and tall vases of wispy flowers. There was a photo ‘booth’ with balloons and fronds. The back corner was the dessert table, with a neon light, huge cake, and an assortment of cookies. We won’t have to eat for a week! The favors were little burlap bags with coffee bean soap inside. We played a few games (I am horrible at that and didn’t even try!), then Tara and Jake opened gifts.

Sitting at the table with the Skunk Hollow girls was an added bonus – as always – and we had a wonderful time.

March 19 – If you ever hitch-hiked, explain. “Never did – my brother hitch-hiked to see his girl friend. (Whom he married.)”

Yesterday’s vacation destination was Longwood Gardens and the picture posted was the water lilies. Here are a few gardens that you can stroll through:
