Celebrations

The now-triple birthday:
Gloria
Diana
And Violet Gentle’s one year-old baby boy.

These were happy days for Diana. Her 25th birthday. And engaged only just a week.

Meanwhile, after the library for Othello, the grocery store for Peruvian lilies in white and pink for Gloria and a money order, the post office to deliver FBI background check materials and the money order for the adoption… it was over to the Silverspoon’s.
Theodore was in Chicago on business. But there were still five of them to make a party.

Before going into the grocery store for the flowers that morning, OLeif had asked Puck which color he should choose. Collette rattled off a list of colors for Puck.
“Black,” was his first choice.
Then, “Green!”
Finally, he settled with, “Purple!” with a big grin on his face.

By two o’clock, Collette was at Megan Salthouse’s bridal shower. A very pink affair with much food and games and gifts. Megan appeared to have a very generous and kind extended family. And she would be living in Kansas with her new husband, ten miles outside of the Missouri border, after returning from a honeymoon in Hawaii.

Back at the house, Gloria had enjoyed an apple pie sent over by Mom and episodes of Castle and White Collar in celebration of her birthday.
