Good Time, Girls?

Well, did anyone of you ladies have a good time on Mom's birthday? Glad you put it all together girls, it was a wonderful idea, and we actually pulled it off without a hitch. For cousin Jeanie, this is what we did. Had someone fill in for mom at Bea's, girls met at Mom and Dads then drove on over to my house. We all piled in our chiriot [Dad and Tim also] and we drove to Jeffersonville to Derby Dinner Playhouse for Moms birthday surprise. Rachel met us there also. We had a nice buffet, all we cared to eat, and all the coffee we could drink. Desert was extra, way extra. The Hummingbird cake looked devine, [looks are deceiving though] so we ordered two generous slices to share amoung us. We were stuffed so didn't want a whole piece. It wasen't what it looked like. I'm a sweet eater and I didn't like it either. Daddy had mounds of strawberry shortcake, or more like mounds of whipped topping, and Sharon ordered a Brownie Supreme, a moist chocolate brownie, piled high with creamy vanilla icecream, pour on gobs of ooey-gooey hot fudge and a mountain of whipped cream and there you have it. Anyway, tables were cleared and a cast of seven very good actors performed the play "Smoke On The Mountain Homecoming." It was very nice and we all enjoyed it emencly. It was nice that we could all manage to get together again, especially for moms birthday. Here's a little something I wrote afterwards to send to Rachel on her birthday the following week.

SO GLAD YOU CAME TO VISIT,
TO GRACE OUR FAMILY TIES.
HOW NICE TO SAY HELLO,
HOW HARD TO SAY GOODBYES.

WE'LL HAVE TO MEET AGAIN,
SOMEHOW, REAL SOON
TO SHARE AND LAUGH AND TALK AND EAT,
BEFORE THE NEXT 'BLUE MOON'

TILL THEN WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP IN TOUCH,
BY PHONE, OR NOTE OR LETTER,
BUT MEETING FACE TO FACE AGAIN,
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.

That goes out to all of you who drove the distance to 'Keep in Touch.' LOVE TO ALL
