Today is my dear mom's 94th birthday!
Happy Birthday, Mom!
I'm going to take her some flowers a little later this morning and have lunch with her. The folks at her place were asking what she would like for a special birthday lunch, but Mom can't answer questions like that anymore, so they asked me, and I decided on something Italian because she's always liked that. And ice cream for dessert because that is a favorite of hers also. Who doesn't like ice cream?!
We have a favorite local ice cream place here and we try to go a few times every summer. It's owned by some people we knew when our kids were all growing up. They have yummy ice cream there!
My favorite flavor is always something with chocolate in it -
this time it was mint chocolate chip.
Look what I grew in my garden! I try to grow a pumpkin or two every year, but this is the first time for four of them. It has been so hot here that the vines have just been wilting, so I decided to cut the pumpkins off and bring them inside where it's cooler. The parts that are still green will ripen on their own.
And another good book this week - this is an entertaining story with lots of things in it to make you think about the times we're living in. I'm really enjoying it!
Hope you're having a great week!

Aaw Happy Birthday to your dear Mom. She is so beautiful! I wish her the most amazing day. It sounds like she is going to have a wonderful lunch and yum on the ice cream. Oh your pumpkins are fabulous, Diann. You have a green thumb indeed. I just had one volunteer pumpkin come up. I should bring it inside for a pop of color . Enjoy your day spending time with your mom. Hugs.
