A Sweet Baby - Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Last Saturday, my dear friend and former workmate, Elaine Martin, invited me to Fairfield to her sister, Janelle's bridal shower.  I was delighted to see her again as she is like family to me.  Since our job ended seventeen months ago, I don't see nearly enough of her although we do have lunch together from time to time.  Elaine and I always introduce ourselves as sisters when we meet new people.  Sometimes they are a bit taken aback as she is African American and I, of course, am Caucasian.  As is often the case at functions I attend with Elaine, I was the only Caucasian present.  I never feel uncomfortable because I am always made to feel like part of the family and I feel welcome.

Anyway, it was a lovely shower except for the heat in Fairfield.  My heart, however, was totally captured by a sweet baby girl, the daughter of one of Elaine's friends, also an RN, who works, occasionally, in the ER at San Francisco General.  I guess having three sons makes me melt whenever I see a sweet little girl.  I hope  I have one in the family someday soon!!
