I went back to work, and by then everyone had received the
wedding announcement in the mail, and I arrived to congratulations from Baby
Team members and a desk full of balloons with a pot of yellow mums in the PT
office.

There were other little gifts, including a set of four circus tickets
for this afternoon! I called Kent, and Mary Jane happened to be at Meeting
Street School today, to arrange to pick up the boys. Received a bottle of
cognac from Jodi and a mini-heart wreath from Sandy. Kent also found balloons
at work, with a bottle of champagne from the advertising person, Julie. Also a
glass hurricane lamp for a candle from Cindy. We are doing pretty well with
wedding gifts, and yet we really wanted to avoid the whole wedding shower
thing!
After my afternoon home visit, I hurried home, and Kent
arrived soon afterwards with Erich. We drove to the Providence Civic Center for
the 16:00 circus performance. Erich and I walked past the elephants before
entering the arena. We had missed only a couple minutes, and Jane M and
her daughter arrived later. At intermission, Kent came with Kyle, who had
baseball practice. They were able to see the longer second half. All the usual
hoopla: trained animals, tightrope, acrobatics, trapeze artists, death wheel,
clowns, plus alligator wrestling and the one “resistant” lion. It was over at
about 18:30 and we walked up Federal Hill. Since there was a line at Angelo’s,
we went to the empty Ricotta’s for grinders. Erich had meatball, Kyle had ham
and cheese, and I had a BLT pocket. Kent had a chef’s salad. A long but fun
day. Circus tickets were a great wedding gift!
