At the last minute I decided to go up to Michigan to help Julie, Dave, and Leah move down and to go to Maureen's bridal shower. It was a quick fun trip. Of course it started with lunch at Olgas then a visit to Aunt Paula's. My first night was spent at the Cavallaro's house. On Friday Julie and I did a little shopping and then went to hang out with Nicole and Anthony. That evening Tom and Nicole had a little cookout. I introduced the high school crew to bananagrams but they didn't love it. Saturday was the bridal shower. It ended up being indoors and a bit toasty since there were isolated thunderstorms all day. The shower was nice. The ending was the best. Eric showed up and was given the best gift of all...a velvet portrait of the alien ET for his initials. Maureen's aunt got it as a wedding gift so she was happy to have someone to give it to after 26 years. I hope it makes an appearance at the wedding. It would be a great photo backdrop! After the shower I went to Andy and Susan's but they were not here. It was good to see the family, meet Drew's adorable girlfriend and hold and spoil Allison. Sunday was spent with Tom, Nicole, and Anthony. I attempted to go to the pool, we went to the park and we had Thai food! Sunday night I stayed at Aunt Paula and Uncle Sal's in order for an earlier departure. I taught them bananagrams too and they liked it but need more practice. Mom and I took turns driving Julie's car to NC. Now everyone is here and I leave for Europe tomorrow.
