85th Birthday
Well, my mom will be 85 years old on May 29....Me who does not think about days...
totally forgot it is a holiday weekend....but went ahead and planned a Surprise
Birthday Party for her...outdoors.. ...in a Park called English Park....right on the Ohio River....just about a block from where she lives....
So forgetting it was a holiday weekend.....who knows how packed this little park will be....but we are bringing our own tables....and chairs.....
My son girlfriend asked what to get her....I said Oh we had not planned on gifts....she insisted that since she had not met her, she wanted to bring something...SO I Thought:
She has very little space in her room she shares, as her room mate takes up 3/4 of the room....so I said she can't have much....so then I remembered....she loves candy.
So I said Candy...not the expensive....yucky type candy....just your normal good old chocolate candy....that way she can hide it in her drawer so no one can take any....How do I know where she keeps it....I checked...and ate some...oops told on myself!!!
Anyway,,,,,,here's hoping that we have NO RAIN....Our weather map/man says RAIN everyday except SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So hope for once I hope the weather man will be right......and it will be NO RAIN....
SO TO MY MOM.....I HOPE THAT SATURDAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY FOR A GREAT 85
YEARS OF YOUR TIME ON EARTH AND THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS...
JUST REMEMBER IT'S A SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE YOU MOM...YOUR DAUGHTER..
SANDI....
P.S. Check back I will let you know if it turned out to be a good day......

Oh, so sweet. Happy birthday to your mom, Sandi. Have a wonderful day. Love & hugs, Linda
I hope the weatherman is right this time!!
Your idea for a gift is wonderful. My brother is in a nursing home and loves candy. He is diabetic so we get him the sugarless kind but he likes it just as well. My aunt used to love Werthers - ah memories.
Have a great day!
Love and hugs,
Marlene
Happy Birthday to your Mom, enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday to your mom and I hope it turns out to be a wonderful day and a nice surprise! Hugs, Kim
Sandi, embrace your Mom long and strong this special celebration.
Wishing her a Grand 85th ... and wishing you another beautiful memory with your Mom.
Peace, de
Yes -- here\'s hoping for good weather. Terry
Hoping you have a sunny day filled with love happy birthday mom
I\'m sure it will be wonderful no matter the weather, but I hope it\'s nice and sunny anyway. Happy Birthday to your mom! Love and Hugs to you, Diane
My dear Mother in law\'s birthday is also on May 29th...she would have been 91. We miss her so very much and I always remember her birthday to this day..even when her son does not! You will not regret trying to have these birthdays...no matter how old or senile they may get...I hope the celebration is all JOY and no rain....Happy Birthday to you mom! Love...dale, brandon\'s mom
Happy Birthday Mom! She has the same day as my Father - of course he\'s been gone for some time now - so soon 28 years pass. I hope Mom loves surprises - chocolate - yummmmmmmy
Wow, 85, that is terrific! Long life genes must run in your family and if so, you are very lucky! (not the case for my family). I think your suggestion of candy was so appropriate and who doesn\'t like a little chocolate!!
How sweet your son\'s girlfriend wanted to bring her a little gift. She must be a little peach.
Well, I also hope it doesn\'t rain on Saturday and hope there will be plenty of room in the park. Maybe the best thing is if the weather forecaster WRONGLY calls for rain so that others leave the park wide open...and then it stays SUNNY! Best case scenario! Love+Hugs, Donna
