Wow! Yesterday was my Mom's 86th Birthday! We went out to a Chinese restaurant that she likes. It was very good. My sister is coming on Sunday which is also Mother's Day and we are going to cook! Woo-Hoo! Turn out the pilot light 'cos Sunday I'm riding the range!

Alot of friends and a few relatives came to see her too. An old friend she hadn't seen in several years even called from South Carolina. Some of my stupider relations seem to have forgotten my Mom except when weddings and/or baptisms roll around. They can all rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. My Mom has a lot of trouble remembering things these days as I've mentioned before. Sometimes we didn't always see eye to eye. But she was always there to take care of our family. She was a Sunday school teacher for 30 years and she and my Dad have been married 63 years!

Happy Birthday Mom!
