Merry Christmas, Mom!

 

A Christmas blessing was mine as I got to spend a wonderful week with my merely marvelous mother!

 

 

 

 

And we enjoyed a very special guest at the Ladies Luncheon… our 100-year-old friend Marian Murachanian Major.

 

 

I am delighted to report that Mom is healthy, sharp as a tack, sings in the Fun Chorus. I got to catch a rehearsal as they prepped for their annual Christmas Concert!

 

 

 

And she still volunteers actively, including running the card shop at her independent living apartment complex.

 

 

She again led volunteers in decorating 700 gingerbread boys for the Friends & Family Christmas party… that was utterly outstanding!

 

 

 

 

 

(& yes, that is a caramel fountain!)

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, I truly must pinch myself. I’m her “Mini Me,” and I work every day to live up to the high barre she has set. Thank you, and Merriest Christmas wishes, Mom!
