Mom's Birthday

We celebrated my mom's birthday on Friday, March 9th.  We went to Jamie's house and Tom picked us all up fish dinners from the VFW.  We did this for my mom's birthday last year and we all love to take advantage of the fish fry during Lent.  We were obviously missing my dad that night and even though it was the second birthday in the family since he passed away, it was the first time we had a birthday get together.  She just turned 58 and in terms of age, she will outlive my dad in about a week. (My dad died 16 days after his 58th birthday.)

My mom opened her presents and liked her gifts.  She doesn't like her picture taken most of the time so these were the only photos I was able to get.

On my mom's actual birthday, the 12th, she didn't get home until 6:30 pm and so her and I went out for a quick dinner to Perkins by our house.  Given the chance, my mom picks Perkins quite a bit to eat.  Our food was pretty good but the service was terrible.  Somehow the free dessert that my mom got for her birthday made up for it.
