My youngest daughter is 25 and getting married in March. Today was her bridal shower held out at The Farm at South Mountain in Phoenix. It was a gorgeous day for the party. My mother flew in from Florida. All Nikki’s girlfriends were there including one, Caitlin, who we have known since she and Nikki were 2. Three women were there who have been our friends for over 30 years, two of whom came in from California. Finally an old family friend who I’ve known for over 40 years and who, with his amazing wife, live in Tucson and drove up for the day. Jerry and I had to leave the event and just spend some time together. When we returned we located a cache on the Farm’s grounds! It was great seeing everyone and with Gillian pregnant with our 2nd grandson, it is very evident that life is short and one must appreciate the little things – family and friends.
