Had a nice visit with Sally and Mike last Friday. Then Saturday was Mom's birthday. She wasn't sure how to open her gifts (two pairs of pants, a red blouse and a nightgown). She wouldn't take the cards out even after I slit the envelopes for her, but she did smile some as I read the messages and names of the senders. I bought a cake (chocolate sundae swirl) at Kroger and numeral candles 8 and 7, and we had a little celebration after lunch. Mom didn't pay much attention to the candles and wanted to start eating the cake before it was cut. She ate her piece and part of mine. The other residents liked the cake. I might take one there from time-to-time just for a treat.
