deluge II

Everyone had a crush on Patrice's six-month-old son, John. Mimi entertained many of us with commentary about gifts, and well a good time was had by me at the least.

the deluge

My friend, Shirley Crawford, once suggested instead of calling a baby shower or a wedding shower a shower, we should call it a deluge. I am lucky to have good friends and family and indeed was given a deluge of gifts. Best of all, I got to see all these people I care about.

First, our host, my childhood best friend, Laurie Giarratani. Thanks Laurie. The baby's new ugly doll. And Cara's mom oggling the baby's hand-knitted quilt from my Aunt Suzanne. I told her, I wasn't sure I was willing to share with the baby because it is so nice.
