Mom wasn't feeling well on her birthday, but was able to rally for an evening birthday party. The picture to the right -if you're looking at this blog upside down or the picture to the left if you have your seat in your chair & your feet on the ground :-) shows Biju presenting the cake she baked. Biju is explaining that each of the center candles are, "20, 20, 20, 20" and the extra one on the outside is '4' :-).
We enjoyed time around the table with Mom telling stories, laughing and enjoying each other. Biju's 3 daughters came, plus Yoseph, his brother Abdul and his uncle Chhedi. All of them having served the Crider or the Smith households over the years (except for Biju's daughters).
This picture shows Marietta playing her keyboard for the first time since June. Mom, Esther, requested a few songs as a birthday present & Marietta rose to the occasion. She insisted that Dana sing while she played.
I feel like I'm a part of history here as the sisters get reacquainted and bond.
