Let The Celebrations Begin, I Guess

My Sweet Mother's birthday is tomorrow, and we've been partying since last Friday.  And we have plans to party on for at least two and a half more weeks.  Nuff said.  

So I am remiss in saying let the partying officially begin. 

She's eaten out most of the week and didn't have to cook.  She got a very cool Native American print shawl that she absolutely loves, and wore today even though it was 90 degrees.  But she was inside in the a/c where it was cool, so I'll give her that. 

Tomorrow we will officially celebrate her birthday with dinner at her fave restaurant, and then in two weeks, my cousin and his wife will be up from Alabama to visit with us and we will celebrate again!
