i woke up at 7:45, took a shower, and headed to the ithaca farmer's market.

then, i drove to mom and dad's house.


dad made me breakfast:

eventually, my mom and i headed to my aunt janice/uncle peter's house to help set up for my cousin rachel's surprise bridal shower.

(just so she would realize that this was NOT, in fact, a Tupperware party.)
she was definitely surprised.

and she really seemed to be having a great time.

her sisters set up the cutest little centerpieces, and they even drew in an uninvited guest... do you see him?

no? how about now?

after the shower, i was pretty tired. i went back to mom and dad's and sat around on the couch for a bit while my sister hung out with pickles, the cat.

eventually, i had to drive home - i wanted to get back to ithaca before it was dark.

it was fun to document my day with photos, although i missed a lot! thanks,
june, for the challenge!
