Mom's 90th Birthday Celebration.

"There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe 
 There was an old woman  
who lived in a shoe, 
She had so many children 
she didn't know what to do; 
 
She gave them some broth 
without any bread; 
She whipped them all soundly 
and put them to bed. "

There were twenty-three family members gathered at Mom's to celebrate her 90th birthday. She is doing really well and it was a great ice cream and cake party for her.

A sister from Lubbock had a friend make a beautiful (entirely appropriate) cake for her. It was the old woman in the shoe, who had so many children she didn't know what to do! Well, Mom always knew what to do!!

And it was a really good cake - this was all that was left of it!!








The shoe had a tree beside it with four little faces in it, representing my four brothers, Joe, Harold, Robert and Tom. It also had a door and windows with nine faces in them, representing me, my six sisters, June, Marg, Kathy, Faith (RIP), Barbara and Teresa. One face was another sister, Patsy (RIP),who passed away at an early age. Mom was the face peeking out the door!

We thank God for this wonderful Mom who has always watched over us all these years! We love her.
