This bunch of characters we refer to as the Cry Room Crowd. What we have in common is that we all had kids at the same time and met in the cry room at Saint Bernadette. Our kids are all grown and gone, but we remain close friends. Because Karen and Paul were in town, we decided to get together at our house for a little socializing after mass rather than attend the coffee and donuts at the church. Well, they didn't have coffee and donuts at church, so our planning paid off. We enjoyed bagels and lox, strawberries and coffee and had a real good time.
