Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet. Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe. https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods. One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup.

We just recently celebrated mom's 75th birthday. Of course she celebrated for several days it seems. (I get it honest I guess....celebrating my birthday for weeks, LOL) My sister and I celebrated birthday cake with her and two of her friends along with balloons and gifts.
Mom's roommate's birthday was the day after hers so we included sweet Sadie in the party!
I couldn't help but laugh because neither of these ladies wanted to take their bibs off for the pictures. They didn't want to mess up their clothes!
We call these three the THREE AMIGO'S! They sit together every day to have their meals, play games, do crafts, pop corn parties, ice cream socials, tea parties, fine dining and well, there isn't a lack for something to do that is for sure!
Miss Ruby is a woman after my own heart. You can rest assured that she will have her matching jewelry on every day and she DID WANT HER BIB OFF for her picture! LOL!
Love me some Ruby~
Sweet lady right here!
My niece was celebrating her 10th birthday as well that day and was going to have her on birthday party later.
Mom got tickled because her roommate Sadie who was celebrating her 88th birthday was asking for something to drink. So I leaned down and said, "Miss Sadie, would you like whiskey, water, coffee or tea?. With her eyes big as saucers and a very serious voice Sadie said, I would prefer Shasta cola! LOL!
Sadie and Mom shared the birthday cake together. That isn't the only thing they share though. They share a room room together, their meals, their extra goodies that family members bring to them, laughter, probably a few arguments along the way and JESUS!
Happy Birthday Mom!

How sweet! What a bunch of great ladies! They sure seem spunky!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful memories Cindy. March birthdays are full of good people.
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, how special to celebrate your mother's birthday with her roommate and special friends. I too gave my mother her last birthday party when she was in her nursing care home. It was very special and I think of it every year when her birthday comes around. It was a special day. Yes, they wore their bibs too and mom always had her jewelry on matching her pretty outfit.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless your mother and her friends. Wishing her many more special birthdays and you to enjoy them with her!!
Hugs, CM
