One afternoon while we were at his parents house, Vi said that there would be a few people coming over to visit that evening. I said something like "I think before they get here I will clean up a little bit". I meant, touch up my make-up and change clothes. So, as time went on and I wasn't "cleaning up" yet, she said "I thought you were going to clean up". The way she said it I thought--well my,my,my and quite frankly at the time I thought she was very rude. But of course I let it go because she was my new mother-in-law and it just wasn't that big a deal.
A little later people started coming to the door. We'd get one or two, and then a few more and pretty soon we had quite a house full of people I didn't know and they all brought a gift. It was a shower for us. Then I knew why Vi was so persistant about me getting ready. It was a very nice shower and we got a lot of nice gifts, to include a few more towels. lol Our refreshment was cake with strawberries. Delicious!

I remember those towels. Funny what you can and can't remember.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise! And I'm sure it was very appreciated. Being so young, you probably hadn't acquired a whole lot on your own yet, so I bet there were many things you needed.
ReplyDeleteWe did't have much of anything. We had the bare basic needs and a t.v. lol
