Busy week.....





Usually the days pass by and are filled with the mundane tasks of day-to-day living, work, cleaning, cooking, running errands, and such. Other times they are filled to the brim with excitement. This week started with my photography class....it was basically a beginner class, however, it did confirm that what I had been doing was correct, whew!!! Then there was the girls day out to celebrate Candy and Liz's birthdays. We shopped and ate at the Cheesecake Factory in Naples, went to Whole Foods and just had a fun day of girl stuff and laughing! Friday brought us together for Sherrie's welcome home. Sherrie was diagnosed with breast cancer a month or so ago and Sept. 21st had a bilateral mastectomy with expanders. She will be able to have her chemotherapy treatments done here and she and her husband, Paul have found a house in the Gateway area to settle. The was the usual food fest, chatter, and of course Karaoke, this time with Peggy's husband John and his new toys, which was very nice...well, okay the singing could be improved, but it was all about the fun! Today was Liz's daughter's, Cassandra's bridal shower. It was put together by her sisters and Aunt Gina. The affair was held at Brew Babies and was very quaint and elegant. It was like going for afternoon tea! It was all about the ambiance, and it was lovely. There were a few games, and the gifts. The bride-to-be wore a lovely champagne strapless dress that was trimmed with an under the bodice black velvet trim that tied in the back. The bottom of the dress was turned under to give a bubble effect...very nice. Her sisters wore elegant black dresses and Liz wore the new dark purple suit that she bought during the girls day out! I did the photography, and hope to get a bit of creating done, since I've done a lot of digital scrapbook shopping. I did stop at Beals and got a couple of light weight sweaters on sale....can't resist a baaahgain!!! ;)
