Hey Folks,
Just want to do a quick post to wish Mom a very happy birthday! We've had a wonderful time celebrating her this morning and afternoon.
The day started with a surprise awakening to a mini-chocolate cake and song from us kids and Dad.. purposefully small since there was a very special surprise in store for her this afternoon!
Mom's best friend of 18+ years got in touch with me a few days ago to coordinate a surprise, and some mutual friends here in Florida worked to help make it happen. They picked up the cake at a local place and held it in their car while they took Mom and Dad to brunch. After brunching, they asked to come see inside the RV, knowing us kids had retrieved the cake from their car while the "adults" were eating. So Mom walked into the RV to find this amazing cake, ordered up by her bestie back in Minnesota. So grateful for all these awesome people who helped make Mom's birthday extra special!
After watching her reaction today (tears & all), we realized that had we been able to somehow fly Mrs. B out to surprise Mom, we'd have been picking a hot mess Mom up off the floor! LOL.
And, since all my other birthday posts include a 'through the years' section...here's one for Mom...but only going back to 2016. I don't have access to any earlier pictures at the moment, LOL.
