We gave everyone shiny necklaces to wear and everyone loved wearing their cool necklaces. The men had necklaces with dolphins on it and the ladies had necklaces with pretty hearts. I bought some funny glasses and a couple of the Buds loved wearing the glasses. One man named Bill said he looked very handsome with his glasses. Some of them wanted to wear the birthday hats and a couple said NO WAY!
One lady wanted everyone to sing Happy Birthday to her friend Lucy. One photo you will see Mom clapping and singing. Before we celebrated Mama Lucy Lou's birthday, Gino said a birthday grace for Mom. Gino was once a minister, and he still knows the beautiful prayers to share with us all.
Mom opened her presents and she loved the soft fur from inside her new shoes and slippers, that she kept putting the fur on her nose. You will see in a couple of the photos, Mom putting her shoes and slippers up to her nose. Helen her BFF sat with her and kept an eye on her, and after the party Helen told my brother that Mama Lucy Lou wanted us to go home now. Helen is very protected with Mom.
Everyone loved the cake and ice cream and I even saw a couple of the Bud sucking on their spoons for any icing that was still on them.
After Mama Lucy Lou, ate her cake, ice cream and opened her presents, Helen told Lucy it was time to go. They both got up and started walking like they do and enjoy everyday.
Gino, called Lucy Lou to come by him and he wished her a Happy Birthday, and then asked her if she would not mind if he gave her a birthday kiss? He gave her a sweet one right on her cheek. Mama Lucy Lou just smiled after the kiss and went to walk with her Bud Helen.
The most important part of Mom's birthday was that my brother and I will never forget, Mom said Hi and knew our names. I have not heard her say my name for so long... It made our day ..... her gift to us on her birthday.
