Mom's Bday

Mom's Bday was fun. Balloons, cards, fried chicken, cake, and lots of singing. What's not to love? Her friends sang Happy Birthday to her around 3-4 times. Mom would sit very solemnly and stare. Her friend Hazel, (the lady with the printed shirt) told Mom, "Now Lucy, your daughter went through a lot of trouble, and now you should smile and say thank you." Hazel is the only friend Mom has that can speak to her that way!! Seriously though, I think she enjoyed her day. Mom is 78 years old.

Slumdog Millionaire

My favorite movie. I have to add it to my list. When I first began watching it, I thought I wouldn't really care for it. But....the hero's journey, the rise of the underdog, are movies that sing to me.

The Valentine's Dance

Valentine's day was lots of fun with a dance at the nursing home. The dj played a great mix of Mexican, Czech, Cajun, and Mowtown music. There was tons of food, candy and prizes. The king, queen, and sweetheart were crowned. Mom smiled and clapped, and she was the prettiest lady with her new outfit.

Jodie's Wedding

Jodie is married. My baby daughter is married. She married Tony Gerhardt, and the wedding was in a military chapel in Washington. The service was lovely, and the reception was in a beautiful woodsy cabin.

Christmas

Christmas was quiet but sweet. Jamie and Cody came to Boling. Jamie and I went to see Four Christmases. Dad and Cody went outside and picked pecans, rode tractors and were on the swings. Seafood gumbo completed Christmas.
