Mom's 75th Birthday

I'm late in writing about mom's 75th birthday.  We celebrated her birthday on the night of Feb. 28.  We took this picture of all of us.  Mom had such a nice time and we surprised her with Kathy Levins!  That night per mom's request we made hamburgers, hot dogs and I fixed her favorite cocktail, long island ice teas.  I made her own individual helping of apple crisp to take home. 

Kathy Levins and mom have been friends since I was a kid so at least 45 plus years.  They don't get to see each other very often any more so they were thrilled to spend an evening together! 

 Another surprise for mom was on her actual birthday.  Jay has been laid off at work and just happened to be off on nana's birthday.  He surprised her and showed up at L.O. to serve cake with her friends, Faith R., Faith M. and Leslie.  You can see by mom's smile how happy she was to see her oldest grandson.  

Mom continues to live her life with joy and I know her eternal rewards will be plentiful.  She is a bright light to others and has never lost her sense of humor.  Life isn't easy for her but she rarely complains.  I am thankful for provisions God has given her.
