She has been living in Davenport for five years so many of her friends have also moved away.
One of the games played was 'He said, She said' - guessing which of the two said something or did something first. Surprisingly I got 11 out of 14 correct.
These gorgeous cookies were served instead of cake.
This weekend was also the Covered Bridge Festival in Winterset so while I was at the shower my driver (hubby dearest) walked downtown where he just happend to be where this year's festival King & Queen were arriving.
Neither of Deise's sisters were able to be at the shower, but her brother Ki and his boys were in town. I think he and Bud were talking about Ki's chickens.
I was surprised to see this from across the room, a sign that once hung on a post at the end of the lane at Dad & Mom's* farm home. Ki found it in the garage there when we had the farm sale and saved it. A memory from my past as new memories from Deise's shower were being made.
(* Yesterday was the anniversary of my parents' marriage, 88 years ago.)
