Hi there:
We've had quite a busy week with most of the crowd home to help mom celebrate her 90th birthday. There is only Pat, Evelyn and Lucy left here on the Rock now. Pat and Evelyn leaves for St. John's on Wednesday while Lucy leaves next Sunday.
For mom's birthday we all went to Wong's Palace Restaurant for dinner. Along with our own family, mom's two nieces Maureen and Bernie along with their spouses George and Ron came along to join in the festivities. After dinner we came back to our house to finish out the celebration.
We had an Open House for mother at our house on Saturday April 6 from 2:00 - 5:00pm which was well attended. I'll post to that later.
A special thanks to all who came from away to celebrate and to all of you who sent along birthday wishes, phoned or contacted mom during the past week. She very much appreciated it all and seemed a little overwhelmed at times.
Enjoy the photos and stay in touch.
Cheers.
Barry

Looks a bit serious eh!
Now there's a couple of great smiles.
