It was First Communion/Bridal Shower weekend in the Zammit family, which meant a trip to South Lyon on Saturday morning for the former and a day in Canton for the latter. We celebrated with Hannah on Saturday afternoon, eating and visiting and playing baseball and bocce. In the late afternoon I bounced and headed home to meet Mom and Grandma, who were eager to get upstairs and see the Queen at the Derby. We listened to Prairie Home, watched the Run for the Roses, and put finishing touches on the rehearsal dinner invitation. We also took a pretty long walk along the Huron in Gallup Park after a light dinner/snack, then looked at pictures and had key lime pie in the late evening.
Sunday started pretty early with breakfast at Mom's favorite; we toured campus by car and then I rather suddenly needed to bounce yet again to rendezvous with 'the men' for a diversionary trip to Cabela's. It was a fun outing - it's always a little weird to go shopping with guys, but people wanted to pick up a few sporting goods so I'm always down with that activity. We returned to find the shower wrapping up. Jenelle and I said goodbyes and then spent a bit more time with family who lingered before packing the Vibe with very generous gifts and BreAnne and heading home for the evening.
This morning I called and cancelled painting with RP, who thought 'an administrative day' was a good idea. In lieu of ladders, paint, and sunshine I've made real and visible progress on the invitations, which I think might actually get done before, you know, the wedding.
