     This past Saturday Tom and I hopped into the car and headed north from Columbus,
...through scenic small-town Ohio,
Picture
Picture
Picture
,,,to the town of  of Olmsted Falls, where Tom dropped me off at the  Falls Pointe Clubhouse,
...for the bridal shower of Rachel, fiancée of my nephew Jason.

     The Falls Pointe Clubhouse was a beautiful, elegant venue,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...charmingly  done up to the nines by Rachel's mom, sister, aunts,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and her brother, Michael,
Picture
...who made and hung the paper flowers that appeared to float above the room.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     The first order of events was lunch, a lovely buffet,
Picture
Picture
...of delicious, beautifully-presented dishes,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...all prepared by Rachel's culinarily gifted Aunt Sharon.
Picture
    There were also tables of yummy pastries made by some of the ladies of Rachel's and Jason's families.
Picture
Picture
     There were make-your-own Mimosas,
Picture
​...lemonade and cucumber water.
Picture
     Some of us ate in the main dining hall,
Picture
​...and some in the over-flow room.
Picture
     After lunch we played games,
Picture
​...enjoyed by all.
Picture
Picture
     Then Rachel opened her gifts,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...with a little help.
     Then we chatted and visited,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...until the end,
Picture
​...at which time some of the guys showed up,
Picture
...including Jason,  the groom,
Picture
​...and Mike, father of the bride.
Picture
     The guys were invited to chow down on the left-overs,
Picture
​...which they did.
Picture
     Lovely a day as it was. The best is, of course, yet to come,
