All the love...none of the drama..

So, the party went great-with a few little glitches, none that I could not handle-of course with the help of some really great friends!(you know who you are)

My mother seemed to have "chickened out" of coming, by calling at the last minute and saying she was sick. But I wouldn't put it past her that she actually was. I was ready to call just because she always complains to my Grandmother why she can't see us-here was her chance. Oh well, it must not have been important to her.

I was a little disappointed-I must say. A part of me really wanted to see her and the other part was scared to death! I never got to my letter-so I will have to do that and mail it to her. I know...I know...I should have, but with all the goings on...I kinda forgot.

My Grandmother was truly surprised and she enjoyed seeing all the family and friends that she hadn't seen in a while (some in years). She loved the slide show that we put together and was very touched by every one's blessings!

The caterer did a great job-which I didn't know how it was going to turn out considering they never did a tasting. The flowers were OK. I ended up getting a partial refund considering the fact that when we got the roses to the place Saturday night to put in vases-THEY STARTED FALLING APART!! Oh well. Some still seem to be okay until we went to get them out the fridge yesterday and they were...well.....FROZEN!!!! The fridge was set on the coldest level-so the whole arrangement was frozen in place! They still seemed to survive the 2 hour gathering and it was a success.

Of course, you get a little embarrassed when everyone is telling stories of you from childhood-some good-some I don't remember. All in all......A Wonderful Event!!!

Thanks for your prayers, love and support for this...it means so much!
