I think everyone that reads this blog already knows about the "card party" the family had for mom's 89th birthday but we decided you need to see the results and the final tally of how many cards she got! Every day mom would go out to the mailbox and bring back an armful of cards. She finally started taking out a grocery bag so she could carry them. This is one days mail and she had several days like this. It was so much fun reading all the cards. Several had pictures and many were homemade. All of them said the nicest things. We all had fun sitting around and listening to mom read them. Pops said several times that you can sure tell how much everyone loves her.
Believe it or not there were 136 cards! Most of them were mailed individually so mom was forever opening and reading and admiring and enjoying the cards. She is still enjoying them!
Somehow the pictures don't do it justice but it is pretty impressive! Mom says thanks a million to everyone, it will be a birthday she will never forget. Pops says what in the world are you guys going to do on her 90th??!!! Oh oh!Please leave a comment if you read this! :)
Keep on reading to the next post to hear about our Birthday Buffet.
