Baptism Party
Sunday is a quiet day here usually, as Roy settles in with his computer and TV tuned to the American football. I washed the floors in the morning and had settled down in front of the computer when Irene came up. She asked if I would like to come to a baby's baptism party with her in the afternoon. It was for the baby that we went to the baby shower for in January . Roy declined due to football pressures and Ciro wanted to go fishing, Nancy decided to stay home as Alan has a cold, so it was just Irene and I that went in the end.
When we arrived at the party, Irene noticed that Ciros fishing rods were in the back seat, so no fishing for him. We had a good laugh over this, he couldn't even phone her as she didn't have a cell with her. We found it funny and teased him about it later after we returned home.
We greeted everyone there, I met some new people and recognised some others from past parties. We sat down and enjoyed the late afternoon with drinks and snacks. There was a live band playing and some of the people were dancing. The baby, of course, was cute as a button in her finery and was busy looking around at all the activity. She spent the time being passed from one set of arms to another and was very amiable to this. A real cutie.
Later on we were served dinner and if I understood Irene correctly the meat was deer/venison that her brother, the baby's grandpa, had done the hunting for. A yummy meal as usual, followed by cake and more refreshments. Each person was given a gift to commemorate the occasion. People then continued visiting and dancing. Irene and I began to get chilly and so left before the party quit. Neither one of us had thought to take a sweater, still not into the cooler temperatures yet. Cooler means that it goes down to my shiver range now in the evening which is about 26 C./78 F., I know this will make you northerners laugh; but it is true.
A really nice afternoon/evening, so nice of her to ask me to go. We really appreciate the way they include us in their family events.
No photos as I didn't take my camera along.
