The Birthday Party

On the 15th- mom's birthday- we met as scheduled at 3 PM at Ray and Darlene's house for that birthday party.  Judy (of Hospice) was there with the chocolate cake as promised along with all the relatives and Pastor Kenny and his wife.  Aunt Francis had found a recipe and I don't know if Judy needed it by then but it was an angel food cake worthy of memory.

We shared the power points that were to be used in the service on Monday and Ray shared a lot of the old slides from the beginnings of the homestead.  Towards the end Shayne and Trisha rolled in off the Alcan with their girls.  They hadn't even been home yet.  The will was available for all to see and a lot of Mom's things were available for relatives to take home.  It was a full and fun afternoon.  The only thing we forgot to do was sing happy birthday!
