Joni's Story
The week after I turned 50, my friend asked me to be her maid of honor. It was the first time I'd ever been asked to serve in this role and I was honored.
My daughter helped me put together the shower at a small family-owned Italian restaurant. We did all the decorating and ordered a phenomenal cake from julia's. The food was fantastic and we played lots of fun games.
The photo above shows Rose (at left opening one of her gifts while I helped keep track of who gave her what. My daughter wrote down everything Rose said and read it back to her later in a naughty tone.

She was the only person to buy lunch.
The nuns were furious and threatened to take away the senior and junior proms and the freshman pop hop. We were sophomores so we had nothing to los. But we didn't want our friends to suffer so we had to admit that it was our idea, and then we had to call it off.
Even though they technically "won" they knew at that point that we were on to their tactics and would not get fooled again!
Good old St. Edmund's!
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have freedom, flexibility, and fellowship to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
