Day 273: Suprise!!

When 6 friends show up at your house and you think you're going to have a little summer bible Study, the only thing that could make it even better is strawberry bread, brie with preserves (yes "reserves"), decorations, festive popcorn, and...gifts!!
It was a surprise "shower"!! Who would have guessed that the first shower in our new home would be for me! Haha. Sweet, cute treats. Time to share and pray and laugh with great women. And gifts from folks who love to shop the Pottery Barn registry.
Lovely!

The "icing on the cake" was the cake Mandy made. She is an expert cake decorator, in addition to everything else she does. I don't have a pick of last night's cake. (It was topped with magenta flowers - the color of my bridesmaid's dresses!) Here's a pick of another one of her masterpieces.
