The Big 9-0

Well today is actually the day - Mama is officially 90 years old today. Brother Tom and his wife Susan are still here and they took her out to breakfast this morning. This afternoon we'll be going out to Harpoon Louie's - a local restaurant where a cousin is part owner and the only place Mama trusts the kitchen not to put salt in her food. We're eating late afternoon because I am helping to officiate a memorial service that starts at 6. Thankfully, Mama is flexible about things like meal times.

The party was a great success - good food, good music, good company. Lots of folks came to wish her well and she enjoyed herself immensely.

Happy 90th birthday to you, Mama!

Milestones

It's been a busy week, getting the house ready for company and preparing for a party. Mama will be 90 on Tuesday and we're throwing her big birthday bash tomorrow (Sunday). It's going to be quite the party and we hope she enjoys it. I'm off to the farmer's market to look for some nice red peppers and to see what I can find in the way of fresh fruit. Got to watch that sodium even when we're celebrating.

Mama and I both got pedicures yesterday and she also had a manicure and got some face waxin' done. Now we'll have twinkly toes so we can kick them up at the party. We are blessed and grateful that she is in such good health and looking so awesome at this great milestone she is celebrating. I just hope I've inherited those genes.
