Have you heard of a mother-in-law shower? We hadn't either, until last week! IGSL is famous for baby showers. We always try to celebrate with women who are expecting a new baby. And we do wedding showers too, to celebrate with girls who are about to become brides.
But last week our faculty wives' team invented a new one. Jan Hobson, one of my longtime colleagues, is about to become a mother-in-law. She will leave on Monday for the U.S. to prepare for the wedding. So, we decided to bless her by creating a new kind of party. We had a special breakfast together, and we gave her gifts to bring to her new daughter-in-law on our behalf. And we gave her advice! I am the only one in this group who is already a mother-in-law, but we all had lots to say from our own experience as daughters-in-law. It was great fun, and I am sure it will become a tradition!
Jan is second from left, beside me.
