Good afternoon, everyone!
Kathie - How's Manny sitting going? I hope he isn't spoiling you and Art!
Karen - Prayers going out for Amanda. Poor kid. She just can't seem to catch a break. Scary when the airbags deploy in an accident. They can hurt you very easily.
Bill - Seems like our excuse for a governor was on a private jet a while ago and he shoveled chocolate pudding into his mouth using his fingers. When this information because public by 2 disgusted former staffers, it became another nickname for deathsatan. So now you know who "pudding fingers" is and why he's called that.
Dave - Loved your Stormy Weather this morning. So nice to listen to early in the day.
I think everyone is pulling out their pictures from Maui these days to relive the memories of what a wonderful place it once was. Most of you got your taste of the island on a cruise. We were there on a land vacation to 4 different islands in 15 days. Gave us a real taste of the Hawaiian culture.
Lee - I got a charge out of you mentioning how you planned to meet Dave & Marcia for the first time on your Hawaiian cruise. Reminds me of how we met Marcia & Tony, along with Eddie, on our inaugural cruise of the Brilliance to northern Europe and the Norwegian fjords. A fantastic trip and great friendships made!
OK time for a reviews of the shower. I can only sum it up with one word - WOW!!! There were at least 50-60 people in a relatively small area. Most were friends of the bride & groom, as would be expected. We spent most of our time in the living room chatting with the bride's parents & grandparents. My biggest complaint would be that all those people talking at once made for it to be way to loud in the house. We finally went out by the pool with M&J while the kids were swimming.
They had to have spent a small fortune of this party. It was themed "TRAVEL", and everything was coordinated, especially the food. It was from all different countries. Don't ask me which ones though. There was always a mob around the table with the food, so I never got to see or eat any of it. Good thing I brought my own bottle of wine because they only had beer, mixed drinks & some sparkling wine with gold flecks in it in glasses rimmed with strawberry sugar. Way too sweet for me.
We left there shortly before 7 to get well on the way home before it got dark. They were already expecting that there would be people crashing at their house overnight.
I will say that the bride's family did seem very nice, but after meeting her mother, I can see why the French countryside attire. She does put on a bit of "airs" if that makes sense. The father of the bride seems like a very nice down to earth person who just happens to be a rich surgeon!!
And that, boys and girls, is the end of my review! Class dismissed!!! LOL
