Happy Birthday Mother!
We didn't really do much today. I'm not feeling very perky lately. I mostly just watched TV and read, and packed up table service to go to Mother's later.
Dick is busy formulating his new cache. It's called Goldbug , and it's based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe. I'm thinking that this cache is so complex that no one will ever find it!
We packed up "high tea" and presents and went to visit the birthday girl around 4:30. She loved her gifts - especially the watch and the scrapbook and the knee highs.
Then we had shrimp cocktail, banana bread, toast, wine, and chocolate cake.
Tom sent flowers, and Jana sent large print books from Amazon.com. I think Laurie was pre-occupied with Hurricane Frances aftermath. There will be no school in Palm City until Sept. 13th.
The mailman brought 6 or 7 birthday cards, mostly from people at church. Mother was very happy. She doesn't look a day older!
She called later in the evening to say that her neighbor across the street had come over with treats (cinnamon bread and apple pie) and they had a good visit. She had a very nice birthday.
