Lois Turns 85!

(Still having trouble turning the blog pictures. They are turned in the saved files, but come up all horizontal when I post on the blog.)

Saturday, August 28th, my mom Lois Lind turned 85! As far as she knows, she has lived longer than anyone in her family. She is doing great and had a wonderful day. Her friends across the street brought her a beautiful copper wind chime. They hung it just outside her sliding glass doors to see and hear. Another friend from church, Aldine, took her to breakfast at Denny's and then a little shopping. And, she got so many birthday cards from friends, they almost covered her entire dining table! She is a loved lady!
For dinner, Lyle and I took her Chinese food. It was terrific and quite large potions so there is plenty of leftovers for another day!
Her cake says, "Lois 85th"



I made her a small wall quilt that has 1 Corinthians 13...the love chapter words on it. She wanted it placed where she could see it on a regular basis. So, it fit perfectly over her fireplace.
She got a new dress to wear to church. She looks beautiful in that turquoise color.
Cory, Annie, and Bee sent her a hand made glasses holder.
All in all, she had a great birthday. We pray many more blessings on this special lady! What a pleasure it is to call her "My Mom."
