Celebrating Mom's 86th Birthday

Today Brady, Alex and I went to Mom's for her birthday. We were served a nice lunch of open faced roast beef sandwiches, mashed potatoes, gravy and my favorite broccoli salad. Alex liked the salad because it had bacon and raisins in it.






We stopped on our way to pick up the cake I had ordered. It was half chocolate and half white with whipped icing. It was so pretty, candles and all.


After lunch we walked the halls with Mom. The boys wanted to see the exercise room. It wasn't long before Mom needed a little rest and to get off her feet.




Guess I should have left Alex with her, because here is what he looked like on the ride home.







And while his brother was taking pictures in the back seat he took this one of me. I know it looks like I have a death grip on the steering wheel too!


We then went to visit BT at work. It was his last full day of work, before retirement on 12/31/2009!!!

A day with Mother

Today we had an evaluation of Mother regarding her stay at
Summit Villa assisted living. Since the meeting was over at
lunch time we ate with her. It was Shepard's pie and Broccoli salad.




We were looking forward to the Pineapple cake for dessert. But that was cancelled when birthday cake was brought in for Mrs. Scott's 94th celebration.





After lunch back at Mom's room she shows off her Christmas tree. It's really nice that it hangs on the wall. You could say it's half of a tree.









I took one of my Christmas quilts and a pin strip dust ruffle over for her bed.








Here is her home in Holt Summit.
