Life's Little Joys

On Saturday, I went to a baby shower. I think that I was about 15 years old when I went to my last baby shower. Not much has changed, except for my perspective.


Seeing friends was fun... of course the food was AWESOME!!!... watching the soon-to-be mom and dad was cute... I enjoyed seeing their joy.


The family was funny too. They were very "into" the whole decoration thing... it made the whole afternoon complete. The party ended and ss the guests left, each of us were given a Pooh figurine and a Baby "pouch." (I don't really know what they are called, but it was kind of like an envelope with pastel colors and a "baby" sign on it.)


The next day I was cleaning up and came across the pouch. I hadn't opened it yet and decided to do so... YIPEEE!!! Buttermints! I had forgotten how much I enjoy these things... and there were 4 of them in there... not one little gift, but 4 in this wonderful baby pouch!


For perspective, when I was a child, my mom would buy the big tubs of them as a treat for me. I would never share them... just enjoy them each individually... place it on my mouth and let it melt. HMMM.... YUMMYYY!!!
