Lynn looked on as Lori put up the decorations
Mom and all the girls: Carol Regeth, Lori Schipper, Kim Lahaie Day, Jill Schrimpf, Lynn Senovich, Kerry Gustin, and the lady of honor, Kathy Lahaie
This group of ladies are primarily those from Northern Laboratories where Mom worked plus some church ladies. David is in the background playing the guitar for our listening and dancing pleasure.
Centered in this photo are Pastor Ben and Anna Schaefer who are expecting their fourth daughter any moment now.
This table shows the WI meat and cheese tray plus veggies and rolls
Here is the punch and some of the other food offerings at the party
My cousin, Sandy, tackled the job of cutting the cake while my sister, Carol, looked on
Carol is ever the cut up! I have a similar photo of her taken at Jamie's graduation, mouth wide open
A shot of the room. Man with back to the camera is Pastor Chris Hoppe. Marion Thiel, a friend from the old neighborhood and from church, faces the camera. Jill to the left.
Extended family enjoying the buffet and the company
My dear friend, Linda, who is also our adopted sister!, with her husband, Tommy, and her granddaughters, Cassidy and Madison
As the crowd thinned, my cousin, David, struck up a conversation with my nephew, Dusty. David had questions about technology and about Dusty's interest, architecture. Would have loved for David to sit and talk with Justin but sadly, Justin had gone home to FL before the date of the party.
At last some of the family had a chance to sit down and enjoy the company of those remaining as the party wound down. Tommy was telling a story to the ladies near his table as Mom listened in.
