My moms's 75th Birthday party

My mother celebrated her 75th birthday ( yes I'm late on posting this). We are blessed to have such a good mother and (grandma). My mother is full of energy and is still the best cook around. Hoping when I reach that age I will have all that vim and vigor!!!

 

My sister hosted a wonderful brunch and we all brought a few desserts to contribute to the already wonderul spread.

I loved the flowers and spent most of my time dreaming of summer and smelling the lovely lavender and cream bouquets.

I snapped a picture of mom enjoying all the delicious food.

Tis the day to be jolly, with all the men be a folly, be sure to choose wise so you won't get looks from all your parents eyes!!

Adventures in Odyssey 24/7??????

I am an adult who still loves Adventures in Odyssey...yes we have a million albums but sometimes it would be nice just to get a story real quick.

Well now you can...Focas on the Family has a station that plays 24/7. They start with album #1 and go through album #500, then repeats. Pretty cool huh!! It does require a Flash Player....so you wont be able to listen on your cell. :(
