My Mother's Birthday day was a great day and night. She received cards, flowers and telephone calls from friends and relatives. So happy!
Her favorite cake is strawberry shortcake, and we had one made to order. (By the way, the strawberries from southern California were sweet.) Mom loved it!
Flowers from her friend and neighbor Nora graced my Mother's table on the eve of her birthday. There was another beautiful vase of flowers from my friends and neighbors...Theresa and Mary. lovely!
All of us need glasses to read, and my Mother at the age of 90 does not. Simply amazing.
Mom and her two sons: Dan on the left, and Ross on the right. Ross flew in from Arizona, and made my Mother a very happy Mom.
A family photo with my Father there in spirit. From the left is me (in black), my Mother, Ross in back, my sister Mariann in front, and Dan on the right.
I had to grab Ross for a photo.
Happy Birthday to your Mom - 90 is quite an accomplishment and something special to celebrate! Love to send you a card for her....

ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteYour mother is a beautiful woman! It's hard to believe she's 90! (Perhaps 90 is the new 80?)
I was just complaining to Thomas that I can't read a thing without my specs...amazing! So happy you were all able to get together to celebrate with her.
I am sending something on to you to forward to the birthday gal. Please email me her name.
Your Friend,
Deborah
