Mom's B-day is on Tues, Feb. 10th. She will be 88 years old. One of her celebrations was lunch out today at her favorite place: Sally Lunn's Tea Room. I know I've posted a pic. of it in the past, but here it is again. It was her wish that we do not take a picture of her. She thinks she is unphotogenic, of which I follow in her footsteps.
Anyway, my Mother, Hubby and I had a great time. It is a proper tea room, filled with lace tablecloths, individual teapots, and lovely antiques wherever you look. Afternoon tea was delicious; the food was scrumptious. We talked and laughed. I love her smile, and the way her eyes light up. I know she thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
For Tuesday, I have ordered her favorite carrot cake from her favorite bakery - Cafe Beethoven in a nearby town. We will have the rest of the family over to sing and celebrate. I think it will be easy to talk her into a family photoshoot.
In my eyes and in my heart, she is an angel.
This sounds lovely! Please tell your mother "happy birthday" from all of us.
