Birthday Celebration

Happy birthday Maman/Mamie-Jo. She arrived almost two weeks ago already to help us with taking care of Théo while Rachel is back at work until the end of the school year. That said, we had the chance to celebrate her birthday together for the first time in seven years! Mamie-Jo actually had an extended birthday since it already had started last Sunday when Dave and Bev surprised her with a nice brunch at the Stone House in Warren. Then, because we all are food lovers, Rachel, Mamie-Jo and Théo met me for lunch on the 22nd (her actual birthday) at an Indian restaurant followed in the evening by a nice dinner that ended with a not so nice store bought dessert. Yuck....next time I'll make it. But given the circumstances, time is not really on my side and at least we got a good laugh from it. And because my mom is just that great person that I feel so lucky to have in my life, we wanted to give her a special treat for her birthday. That's why she is the lucky winner of an 90 minutes massage at DePasquale....I wish it was my birthday too now!

What was the bad dessert (so I know to avoid it)?? Your homemade desserts are always the best! The picture of the 3 of you in the bottom middle square is beautiful!

It was a wonderful day and we were happy to celebrate Jo's birthday. Once again the food was delicious and glad everyone enjoyed their meal. I'll have to have some copies of the photos. Nice gift! I am sure Jo is looking forward to her massage!!

Sara - The infamous dessert was a triple layer orange cake from Pepperridge Farm in the Frozen section...Yuck I can still taset how bad it was almost a week later ;o)
Mom - we'll put those pictures on a flash drive so we can put it on your computer next time we come to visit. Thanks again for treating Mamie-Jo for her birthday, she really enjoyed the day, the food, an most importantly your company.
