Punch is one of those drinks that looks elegant, and tastes great, no matter what the occasion for celebration. I have posted a Baby Blue Punch for blue theme baby shower, so to be fair, I am posting a recipe for a Pink Punch, for the pink theme baby shower.
This punch has a very refreshing taste, and an appealing rosy color. Very simple to prepare, and one recipe serves 40.
This punch makes a very interesting addition to a blue theme for a baby shower.
The baby blue color of the punch resembles the sky, and the melting ice cream scoops, resemble frothy white clouds.
It is non-alcoholic, thus very enjoyable by the mother-to-be.
“April showers bring May flowers” (a very familiar phrase), but spring also brings lots of baby and wedding showers.
Last spring when I was planning a baby shower for my daughter, I searched for different themes and decorating ideas. I came upon this wonderful idea for a centerpiece….a diaper cake. I was so impressed by it that I decided to try to make one on my own.
The small town of Binghamton, New York is a very ethnically diverse community. My family and I were also part of it for several years, thus it is very near and dear to my heart. An unbelievable tragedy struck that community, on Friday, April 3, 2009, when a deranged individual, a total coward, brutally took the life of 13 innocent, freedom loving people, at the American Civic Association.
One of the victims, Maria (Mima) Koropey Zobniw, a case worker at that establishment, was a dear friend of mine, and of my family. She was a gentle and loving person, with an ever present smile, kind heart, great listening and understanding skills, and readiness to assist in every possible way. She was an intelligent woman, who was very active in the Binghamton community, and especially the Ukrainian community throughout the US. She touched the lives and hearts of many people, and will be immensely missed by all who knew her.
This weekend I had a very special guest at my house, who watched me work on my next post for my blog. After sitting there patiently, as not to interrupt my train of thought, he decided to help out….after all…isn’t that what friends are for? As he was hard at work I decided to chip in by taking a few pictures of this event, and sharing them with you. By the way, his name is Kiwi, and besides being a diligent writer, he is a devote singer.
