BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - Sunday, July 23, 2000
Upon
her arrival for the annual Mabry Family
Reunion, Betty, wearing a pretty salmon and white checked blouse, was
greeted with a pinning by Avis. Avis quickly adorned Betty's lapel
with a handmade corsage of matching salmon gladiolus and baby's
breath in honor of Betty's birthday. Betty was also susprised with a
birthday cake. The candle-wishing ceremony was interrupted by a warm
gentle breeze coming across the river and through the trees, however
the cake-cutting ceremony went off without a hitch and the birthday
girl gave her stamp of approval to the lemon cake.
On Sunday, July 23, following the annual Mabry
reunion, Betty's family honored her with a potluck supper at the home
of her daughter Sue. It was a pleasant sunny day. All members of
the immediate family were there and a few extended family members as
well. At times, Betty had to share the spotlight as guest of honor
with Sue's cuddly gray tiger kitty Isaac, whose lovey and playful
behavior was enjoyed by all.
WEDNESDAY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Ann was surprised on her bithday with a delivery
of flowers from Belle, Natalie and John. The oversized bouquet
contained a tremendous variety of bright flowers of all kinds and
colors, including mauve roses, white and yellow lilies, pink
carnations, yellow and white wild flowers, blue violets and many
more. From the bright yellow lily at the bottom to the brilliant
blue phlox at the top, this arrangement caught everyone's
eye. Certain that the spoiled cats at home would eat it if she
brought the bouquet home with her, Ann was delighted to show
off.. errr... share this gorgeous display at the nursing station.
Ann's family feted her on the occasion of her July 2000
birthday. Arriving from the north were Jo, Samantha and
Dan. Travelers from the south included the guest of honor, Belle and
Natalie. The family converged on the chinese restaurant in St Cloud
for a scruptious buffet dinner.
The birthday girl enjoyed watching her three daughters collect
into their own world of sisterly chatter, while she shared news of
Dan's construction work and hearing about Jo's impending trip to
points west with Aunt Pat.
Following dinner, the birthday celebration moved to the
parking lot where a tailgating party of gift opening ensued. At
trunk-side, Ann delighted in exploring a large decorative gift bag
stocked with several new outfits for work. The heavy item at the bottom of
the bag was found to be a package of in-home dry cleaning
supplies. Ann was thrilled and rushed home to upgrade her closet.
