Ninety-six years old today. What a woman! She still lives at home, bakes, makes donuts, cans jam, and as long as she "has her ears in" is a hoot to chat with. I took the kids over yesterday to celebrate a day early (she was going out to dinner with her son and family tonight so I didn't want to spoil her appetite for that). We packed a picnic lunch, including her favorite cake (angel food cake) and fruit (strawberries). Conrad was full of hugs for his friend and sang happy birthday to her. Norrie had no clue what was going on but really liked the sweet white spongy stuff.
