Life's Kind and Sweetest Years of All...

 

Today my husband's mother turns 90!

Yesterday, surrounded by her greatest joy, family, 

we celebrated this milestone.

Once again we were blessed by the talents of sister-in-law Lucille

with a beautiful cake to celebrate this momentous occasion!

(front row is Mother with remaining sisters & brother-in-law and her children)

Mother is the one with a blanket over her lap. 

It was very cool for August!!

In the afternoon a drive-by birthday greeting shower

allowed over 100 extended family and friends

the opportunity to bring birthday blessings in person.

Dear mother, as time passes by

And strength and energy decline

May love bear fruit in rich supply

Where years hang heavy on life’s vine

May you be blessed without reserve

And honoured as long as you live

Because dear mother, you deserve

The very best love has to give

We pray that Motherhood’s reward

Begins on earth, by what we do

To show you that we thank the Lord

Dear mother, for the gift of you

Then, as the love of family

Brings joy where twilight shadows fall

We pray your sunset years may be

Life’s kind and sweetest years of all
