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.
Happy birthday to your sweet Mom. I hope she enjoys her meal and especially the ice cream. Mom used to like "just one dip" of Blue Bell vanilla every night, and she would literally scrape every drop out of the bowl - we still laugh about that. Love those pumpkins!
A very Happy Birthday to your mom! Four pumpkins, awesome!!
94 years--how wonderful you've had your Mom for all that time;)))
{I still miss my Mom even though she passed 10 years ago now. }
I hope her birthday was a happy one both for her and for you...

Happy Birthday to your Mom! I hope you both enjoy lunch together. Look at you - 4 pumpkins! Those little guys look great. Smart to grab them before they rot on the vines in the hot weather. Enjoy your day.
Happy 94th Birthday to your Mom! She looks great. I hope everyone enjoys the lunch and ice cream. Those are four nice looking pumpkins...you are getting nice results from your gardens. I just finished reading My Friends by Frederik Backman for tonight's book club meeting. Always waiting until the last minute!
Happy birthday to your Mom! Your pumpkins look beautiful!
Happy Birthday to your Mom! Love your pumpkins!
Happy Birthday, Mom!!! You look fabulous!
Good job on the pumpkins this year, Diann. Thank goodness your mother's place will be celebrating her birthday too. Italian & ice cream? Count me in too!
I hope your Mom enjoyed her ice cream. Every day is precious at her age.

Happy Birthday to your mom! What a pumpkin haul and you claim to have a brown thumb! I too enjoyed Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books book.
Hi Diann, such a large birthday for your dear Mom. She always looks like a gentle lady to me and I also think you resemble her. Aren't pumpkins such a cheery thing and well done on the growing! A little bit of fall creeping in at your place...
Happy birthday to your mom. Ice cream is always a good way to celebrate. Those pumpkins look great. I didn't get a single squash this year because of the heat.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful mother.
