Love You, Mom!

Cathy & Mom at the Lucky Lobster Company, Dunedin, Florida

 

 

 

Thanks, Mom, for being the wonderful person you are!

 

 

 

 

With Mom & Sir Ronald at Mystic Fish, Palm Harbor, Florida

 

Sir Ronald and I have been enjoying our visit with Mom. At 95 years young, we are blessed to see her thriving in life. At the end of the month, she is retiring from her 15-year volunteer gig running a card shop at her apartment complex.

 

 

She is ready to slow down…. Swimming in the pool 2-3 times a week, her women’s club activities, fun chorus schedule, various card groups, lots of dining companions, and a huge array of community events keep her very busy.

She has always been my greatest cheerleader. We loved sharing time with her again and treating her to some of her favorite restaurants.
