living in the now

jewel

this weekend was all about my momma

we ate all her favorite foods

sloppy joes, hoe cakes and soppin' chocolate, tomatoes and egg gravy and skillet cake
we made butter
and had a watermelon bust

we watched one of her favorite movies

"return to me"

we had all her favorite candies from her childhood

cow tails, orange slices, circus peanuts, butterscotch pieces, mary janes and  horehound sticks

she had to answer questions from the "getting to know you jar"

questions like: when was your first kiss?

did you get good grades?

favorite birthday memory?
we learned lots!!!

we played games like

if you love me baby smile

the oink game

butt darts
and
workin' on the farm relay

all of us shared special memories of her

this was a really touching part of the weekend

its not something we do enough and frankly, it was long over due... love you momma

we all worked hard to make you feel our love

hope your 70th birthday will be one you remember forever

you are loved

thanks to my brother and sister for helping pull off a fantastic birthday weekend
