Happy 81st MOM



Hello Friends

I haven't blogged in such a long time
I almost forgot how to download, edit and upload photos

Hopefully, in the weeks ahead
I will blog more and fill you in
On where I've been and life in general

Today
I want to SAY
Happy 81st Birthday to my Mom


In the past 10+ years
This sweet lady
Has endured a
Whipple surgery
Broken Hip
Mini Stroke
Valley Fever
And something that has eaten a good bit
Of her skull away
Yet, we celebrate 81 years
With Great JOY

She has
4 Children
11 Grandchildren
12 Great Grandchildren


We had a delightful Celebration at my home on Sunday
I'm sharing just a few of my favorite photos


Cousins and Braces


Cousins and 2nd Cousins


Laughter and Silliness


Which pretty much describes our lives


Why would this be a favorite photo?

It is a reminder of:
Family, food, fellowship
Joy, blessings and Happiness
And Celebration of a life well lived

Remember that messes
Are a Symbols of LIFE

Happy Birthday Mom

  8. It is a blessing to have loved ones in our lives so long. I am glad you had a joyful, love-filled day in celebration of your mothers great life. My mom will be 84 in December and doing pretty good, better than me I think at times! She deals with wet macular degeneration in her eyes, which requires regular shots in them, and is one year clear of breast cancer so far since having a breast removed. Dad is 88 in July. I am blessed they are both around still as many of my friends lost their parents. I speak with them each week as they live in another state and I cannot afford flying, plus not up to travel yet. I am hoping to be able to go visit them in Oct.

What a special family you have, and how wonderful to have them all gather at your home to celebrate your precious mother!
