My mother turned 75 this week-end!!
There were lots of flowers and this gorgeous cake ... my sister had a cake created with photos of my mother from her youth to present day. It was breathe taking to see the detail in the photos ~ each one holding a special memory of her life.
and of course many gifts to open!!!
My mother said the best gift ~ was having her three children, their respective spouse and of course her pride and joy, baby Matthew (my brother's son) helping her celebrate! We know my father was there with us all in spirit and smiling that his beloved was turning 75.
Happy birthday to my darling Mother! To many more wonderful and healthy years ahead....
Celia, what a wonderful celebration! Happy Birthday to your Mom. May the year ahead be filled with God's richest blessings!

Celia - what a lovely day for your amazing mother! She must be so very proud as she looks at you and all the inspiration and talent you have in your writing and insight that you share here. You carry yourself with such elegance, grace and class - something you had to have learned from your mother. I just hope I give the same to my daughter and stay around to see it! HUGS
