Mom (Jeanne) and I are very close. I hope this turns out to be a lovely day for her. I spent at least 1.5 hours wrapping her gifts and they look pretty in their fuchsias, pinks and raspberry papers.
And the cupcakes I made and decorated:
My brother is having us all at his place for dinner. There is also a flea market doing on-hmmm…maybe we can hit that first! ; )
We had a nice evening as you can see. Colleen and Ken outdid themselves (mostly C) with the grub-steak, shrimp, chicken and the works! Ken did his good deed of the day by going out to see Uncle Don.
We played movie trivia which I won twice-yahoo! : ) And we played the DVD of Deal or No Deal and we won money twice, but the first time we could have had $400k and walked away with $115k! ; )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANNE
Hi, I have been so busy, I haven’t stopped here to say hello in a bit.
Loved the photos of Longwood Gardens, it is such a beautiful place.
We are going with the Arboretum group for a garden tour here on Long Island on Saturday.
I bought 2 lily plants on clearance from KMART, I hope they come back next year.
I am enjoying my job, but I am so short on time for everything else, like cleaning, shopping and ebay.
I also started back in Homemakers and the book review group has started reading A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS. I also taught one lady how to make a mini scrapbook, like the one I made for you. I am making some hairbows, one lady I met at a yard sale loved Jessica’s so much I offered to make her 2 year old some. I am also making matching bows for Jessica and her friend Joanna, they are both in the same dancing class. Their Moms went to school together and have been friends ever since.
Well I have to get to the stores,take care.
Love, Angela
Your mom looks so lovely on her birthday. How nice that everyone could get together. (I am sure Sean was there in his heart.)
Your packages and cupcakes look beautiful!
Dianne, what a wonderful birthday celebration for your mom!! I’m sure she felt so special! 😀
