Mom's 90th Birthday

Today my Mom celebrated her 90th birthday.My cousin Ersel brought her a cake with

a picture she had taken about 6 years ago

printed on it.

It was a small affair with a few of my cousins

in Mom's new apartment she is living in here

in the same town with me.

There were times in the last few months starting

Nov 2nd that I did not know if she would make it

to celebrate this day. The Lord has a plan for her,

I am not sure what it is but he has brought her through

two serious illnesses in the last 3 months ...so he has a

plan...Lord help her or all of us to do your will with the

time you have granted us with this saint of yours.

I am glad we had this day and am so grateful for

my cousins for making it happen.

With my energy being spent out looking after

Mom and her needs lately there was not energy left

to throw a whing ding.

So I am very thankful they did this for Mom.

My short, dark haired, unbelievably energetic, almost 78

year old cousin Ersel planned this and we had a great time.

On the front row left is my Mom and my last living Aunt

on my dad's side....his sister, my Aunt Della is 93.

Next to her is my cousin Henry.

Back row is my sister-in-law Carolyn, cousin Bessie,

spunky Ersel, me and cousin June. These are

some of my cousins on my Dad's side of the family.

I am the youngest of them all. I was a late in life

kid so most of my cousin's on dad's side were

already grown or almost when I was born.

We had a great afternoon and Mom enjoyed herself.
