Mom turned 97 years old on Sunday, December 20. She really is quite remarka
ble since she lives alone in a two story house, does her own house and yard work, and still drives her car. On Sunday the entire church congregation sang happy birthday to her.
We had a small dinner party on the 19th at her house, and her three sons and spouses were able to join in the festivities. Unfortunately, her daughter Sue could not be there. Her presence would hav
e made the celebration complete. HW2 cooked a standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding. Anne supplied broccoli casserole and twice cooked potatoes. Donna brought home made candies for dessert. We also had rum cake, Mom's favorite, and a chocolate brownie cake. There was much to eat and lively conversation since we seldom get together as a family. It was lovely and all too soon over. The brothers left, and we quietly cleaned up and put away table leaves, and soon the house was back to normal. Happy birthday, Mom! Happy travels.
