Some parties are long expected, some parties are unexpected, and others are just kind of thrown together at the last minute. Sunday we had one of the thrown-together-at-the-last-minute type — at least, for an occasion as momentous as my mother’s 75th birthday, I would call 2 days planning rather last-minute.
Nonetheless, we managed to find a few people who did not have prior commitments, and with lots of assistance from my eldest daughter, I was able to get a special menu prepared. Mom has been craving soup lately, so we made two big roasters filled with a couple of her favorites – potato-sausage, and tomato hamburger, both with an Italian twist. Other than that we kept it simple, with a tray of Costco croissant sandwiches and one of their nice big mousse-filled cakes.
The surprise was a success, and she really enjoyed our time of fellowship with our wonderful Jezek family.
Happy Birthday, dear Mama!! Love you so much!!
