88

Celebrated Mom's birthday today. Went to church, then after her noon meal, had a "party" with the other residents with a chocolate birthday cake (with two big numeral 8 candles) and ice cream. Can't really attest to the amount of significance she attached to the day as a whole, but before I left this evening I asked her if she had a nice birthday, and she said "Uh-huh." I guess you could call that a conversation - closest we've come to one in a long time. Thanks for the cards and flowers. She also had cards from Nelson, Ann and Ralph Podas and Chaplain Jensen.

Birthdays are times when we celebrate the lives of those special to us, and Mom certainly is special to Us All. We love you Mom - always and in all ways!
