The
honoree, the host(s), the attendees – everyone – agreed a baby shower for the
third born was over the top. Even still, we had to party. I’m delighted we did. It “forced” me to
block off my calendar and – when the time came – allowed me to spend a morning
with the neighborhood gang after not seeing them for oh so terribly long. In
lieu of gifts, there were donations collected for the Loudoun Abused Women’s
Shelter. This is actually the second collection held by this group this year;
S.J.M. gathered donations in June during one of her “hormonal episodes” after
learning the number of struggling women and children in Loudoun county – the
supposed richest county in the nation according to Forbes. To continue this
effort, S.J.M. intends to hold biannual, off-season donations to help the
shelter because, as we all know, Christmas is often the only time of year
do-good organizations are provided any relief.
Aside from doing a hare of good before football on a rainy
Sunday, there are few things more perfect sharing brunch, including a crepe and
cappuccino bar, with friends in a sweetly decorated home to celebrate new life.
