We Are Alive! April 3rd, 2022 Wedding Shower

Today was not our normal pancake and shower day. Yes we had pancakes and everyone got showered, but in the early afternoon we got in the car to go to a wedding shower.

A wedding shower is an event (usually a month or two before a wedding) where family and friends gather together and "shower" the soon-to-be bride and groom with gifts to launch the new marriage. The couple will usually create a "registry" for people to choose from, things that will help furnish a new home.

We enjoyed the company of the various families that were there, some of which we haven't seen in quite some time. The children were well behaved (for the most part) and we watched some of our older children interacting and befriending some of the younger children that were there.

It was a special day and a good way to begin the week. So far, this year is starting out pretty nicely.

How was your Sunday? Do anything interesting?

We are just stuck here on a University campus on Sunday doing the usual Hive activity.

Attended several shower parties, but never experienced it as a couple.

Came here from ListNerds. ^_^

Wow! I rarely see the last two tipping tokens. 🤩

Very low voting power bar here and ran out of tipping tokens this early. 😆

Thanks!

LOL, yes "with gifts", otherwise that would be pretty awkward. The word "shower" in quotation marks actually makes it more suspicious. Words are important. !LOL

I didn't do anything interesting as I just did chores and shopping before work starts again during the week.

I came from listnerds.

Sounds like a good day Benjamin. On Sundays, my kids and grandkids come over after naps. It is always nice to spend time with them.

Ah, a day with the grandchildren. Doesn't get much better than that. I know, because I spend everyday with my dad's grandchildren! All six of them!

Hello my friend! 😊

I spent my Sunday cleaning my house; vacuuming, did some laundry, did the dishes, finished cleaning out the dreaded hall closet; (actually looks halfway decent now, I'll have a picture in my weekly blog if you'd care to see the result), played with and yelled at our six dogs at various times throughout the day and for various reasons, fed our feathered friends; peeled, cut up and filled our dehydrator with pineapple and Honeycrisp apples for my handsome husband personal snack bin. All-in-all, it was a pretty productive Sunday for me. That's not always the case, LOL! 😊

It looks like your family had a great Sunday with some good friends, that's always a blessing. 😊

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊

Sounds like a FANTASTIC Sunday! We were recently gifted a dehydrator and are looking for creative uses for it. We dried some cantaloupe and it was so good. Also strawberries and blueberries. Most reciently, we dried white pine needles, it did a great job! I heard you can make beef jerky with the dehydrator, that would be fun!

It was, but busy as can be too!

Congratulations on your new dehydrator! You can make fruit leather, beef jerky, all kinds of vegetables and fruits into powders for hiding in picky eaters meals and a whole lot more. They're a nice addition to our homes for sure. What kind do you have, not brand name, (though if you wish to share the brand I'm happy to hear it,) I mean one of the round ones or one of the square/rectangular ones? If you have the latter, is yours one of the ones that the door is attached with a hinge or one that you remove/replace it when filling/full? 😊

I really love mine. Just one piece of advice...do NOT dehydrate onions inside your house, the smell is not very pleasant and gave me a wicked headache. If you need to dehydrate onions then I recommend you find a place to safely do it outside or in another building. We've decided to stick to dicing and freezing all our onions, much more pleasant for us all. LOL! 😊

This summer we'll be doing some plant gathering and dehydrating for the first time, it should be neat and hopefully will make our home smell lovely too! 😊

Thanks for sharing this on ListNerds. I always thought wedding showers were just for the bride. I have never been to one so I learned something.

Usually it's just for the bride and it's all girls! But this family gathers everyone together and it's sort of a social event... with presents. They even had small complimentary gifts for people visiting!

I notice the spaminator chasing your comments, is there a story behind that?
