HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY, MOM (GRANDMA, EVELYN, ANNIE)

Kevin and I drove down to see Mom and Maynard on Mom's birthday. It fell on my day off and it was Kevin's last day of school, so it worked out great for us.

Mom received many birthday greetings via the phone while we were there.



Trey had called Grandma earlier in the day and she had mentioned to him that she would really like to have a copy of the photo of him and Jesse when they were little and dressed up in their Indian costumes. He suggested I go to Walmart or some place so that I could take it to her on her birthday. So, this is Mom/Gma opening the envelope with a copy of that photo. Yep, she was delightfully surprised. (Thanks, Trey)



Enjoying Mom's birthday dessert: Fat-free frozen yogurt topped with freshly picked strawberries and almond slices.

Mom asked that I make lasagna and garlic bread for her birthday meal. (Remember that she always let us choose our birthday meals growing up?) Also made Britt's broccoli salad.




Maynard and me enjoying the front porch.




And this is 2 of the 3 flats of strawberries I picked that morning. They're sooooo sweet. They're in the freezer now, waiting to be consumed throughout the coming year.

Mom, thanks for posting pics of Gma and Maynard; and for getting her that pic.

Penni, the strawberries look delicious! Thanks for posting pics from Mom's b'day.

Penni, you need to post the Indian picture for the rest of us to enjoy.

Trey, I think M is the one who calls her Annie.
