Brunch before Doug's play reading

On Sunday, March 16, 2009, there was a reading of Doug's play, MURDER CAN BE FATAL, at The Country Playhouse. What an exciting event to celebrate!! Earlier in the day, my mom and Doug had a brunch at their house for the family and some friends. Andrew and Debbie drove in that morning with sweet Charlie! Melanie and Harvey were there as was Alice Cook. Doug's friends, Jerry and Delores, drove in from Kansas City especially for the reading. Alice and Bill Cook gave Charlie a beautiful silver bank plane and Jerry and Dee brought Charlie a cute stuffed animal. What amazing friends! We had a lovely lunch and then went our separate ways for the afternoon to rest up for the reading.
