“First Published book by Jaime Aldrich”
This is the cover of the book written and illustrated with her very own drawings – – the title is “Changes Around Us” – – and the author is Miss Jaime Aldrich – – my Grand-Daughter.
Since … little Miss Jaime’s book is about the changing “SEASONS ” just thought that I would included a page from her book and this page talks about this very “TIME” of the year that we are in now… “FALL” – – and on the page opposite this writing is… one of her very own drawings – – to show us what the “FALL TIME” looks like and what we might be doing – – at this time of the year.
This is one of the best “projects” – – that the SCHOOL System can offer for the very young children – – something CREATIVE – – using the natural talents that a young child has – – some way of expressing their use of language, writing and story telling – – in a natural and imaginative way for their age – – and for those who like to draw and color or paint – – all qualities to spark a development – – something that they may want to explore further with training – – working into a career – – at least… this is something to be proud of – – for all the days of their LIFE!

Grandma at Grand-daughter’s “Shower!”
One of the best times in a “Grandma’s” life is to finally get to attend all the events preceding the Grand Child’s marriage! To have children and be able to enjoy in all the “Happiness” that they will have when it comes to getting married – all the different pre events – that call for parents to get to meet and visit with the new in-laws to be – – having a time to see what attraction their children have for all of the new parents and all of the family relatives and friends – is an event to remember.
Yesterday was “PI DAY – 3.14.15” – a day that happens once in a Century – and in our FAMILY an extra special day for our Family – as well – for – we at the “Bridal Shower” for our Grand-daughter Jaime – and it was a terrific time for all those invited and attended.
One just has to marvel at all of the work that it must take to make all the arrangements – like the hall and food with even a special arrangement for the “CAKE” and desserts for all the attendees – and then the setting up the tables and decorations – everything done to perfection. Something that everyone commented on and thoroughly enjoyed – the continuous show of the newly to-be -weds photos, including photos of them and family when they were little children with their various family members and friends. All of this on a large screen for all to see from any standing or sitting spot in the room – and the enjoyment of good music. This certainly took someone lots of hard work to make all of this work. But, all of this sure helped everyone to enjoy meeting with the people they were seeing on the large screen.
There were games to play and prizes to be won – and all the prizes were just the best – if you were “LUCKY?” Also, something I thought was a terrific idea, and it was a chance to win “money” – all you had to do – was write your name on slip of paper and for a one dollar bill – you could be the winner of the whole “basket of money!” Everyone has the feeling like they are a “WINNER” when they take a chance and of course we all are “WINNERS” – when we are here and now in the present time of our LIFE – we are doing what we like best – and that is being with FAMILY and FRIENDS and we’re having FUN!
Of course, the best part of the “Bridal Shower” is the “Bride- to- be” opening up the beautiful gifts – that she has been given – and just to hear all the “OHS and Ahs and Wow’s “– almost giving you the thought that you are now ready to get married yourself – just for all of this extra special attention – and all the ways to do and have this pre wedding excitement! And, also what I noticed was all the extra attention that Miss Jaime was receiving from all of her “BRIDE-MAIDS” – they were all helping to make sure everything was done just so perfect and to the full satisfaction of everyone that was in attendance – everything done so well – it was as if this was a production of a professional business person – one that just seems to know and at all times – who, what and when – needs to be here and there for a completely perfect start for the rest of the Bride’s- to- be Life!
“Congratulations to the Bride-to-Be – Miss Jaime Aldrich!”
