"November 10, 1990: Greta, Dorothy Jo and I went to Lincoln. Attended a baby shower in p.m. at Rick's cousin's home for Mary. Family gathered at Tom's for chili supper. Greta stayed at Dale's, Dorothy with Nancy and I at Tom's. Met Nancy and Dorothy at Valentino's for brunch Sunday a.m. -- all went shopping on p.m."
For once I have a photo that is directly related to Grandma's topic. Dane is "helping" me, it appears. I remember that sweater. I wore it to the hospital to have Mitch -- not that we knew we were staying for sure when we went there, but as it turned out we did. I think I am looking pretty good for being about 6 weeks from delivering. Love the monster glasses.
Trying to figure out from Grandma's entry whether Mom got to go to Valentino's and shopping. She isn't mentioned. I will assume all went back up to Winside that Sunday, but Grandma doesn't say one way or the other.
On a different note, yesterday's post was my 50th for this blog. Hard to believe.
I remember your baby shower very clearly but I don't remember that Dorothy Jo stayed with me. Also remember that Merilyn and I were in charge of getting your shower gift and I thought that was odd since neither of us had children. We had fun shopping for it though and as I remember were given pretty specific suggestions for Greta.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't remember what I gave you at the baby shower. I do remember that the cousin had one of those bouncy horse things. Can't remember the proper name. I remember that it was sitting right by sliding glass doors. Dane got on that thing and rode it so hard and fast I was afraid he was going to crash into those doors. Obviously I fretted for nothing.
