Tomorrow mom will celebrate her 79th birthday. She has already received several cards and gifts from family members and has enjoyed reading all the birthday wishes. I don't know if everyone knows the story surrounding mom's grand entrance into this world, but it starts when mom was born in an elevator at Charity Hospital. Over the years we have all teased her that being born in an elevator has contributed to her ups and downs in life! I told her that I was going to take her on several elevator rides on Friday to commemorate her birth..... but somehow I think she would much rather just go to lunch. If all goes well I plan on taking her out to lunch and then for a manicure & pedicure if she is up for it. Today we picked out an italian cream birthday cake and plan on celebrating with our family tomorrow. We did have an earlier birthday celebration for mom when Kristene and her family were visiting with us. We sang to mom and she enjoyed seeing her great grandchildren eat up slices of her cake. When I remind her that she is turning 79, she says she is getting old, so I tell her that she needs to hang around much older people because that will make her feel younger. She laughs at that because it probably reminds her of something dad would have said. Mom is also thankful that my dog Biscuit is older than her. He is 13 years old which is 91 in dog years compared to mom who is in her 70's and is still a spring chicken! Mom misses everyone and sends her love to her family.... Keep her in your prayers & for a speedy recovery from her back injury. Will post some birthday pics soon.....
