My Mom was 91 years old yesterday. We stopped by and got Blizzards for lunch to celebrate. Dad and I arranged chairs out in the garage just out of the wind but still in the sunshine.
Mom said she had a busy morning on the phone with birthday messages...beginning with three year old Ray who is a Great Grandchild singing Happy Birthday!
A few weeks ago Mom mentioned that she no longer had any flags to put up because her flags were all worn out. So I did some shopping.
This flag for Fall and another that she can put up for December ... it has snow and Cardinals. Cardinal's visit their bird feeders.
This is the photo I put on Mom's Birthday card...it is their backyard in the summertime. The front garden is filled with Lupine and Hollyhocks. The wagon in back is full of Wave Petunias...purple and rose colored. Dad still does all the lawn mowing and Mom works in her flower beds. The Ox Cart is just there for decoration.

Happy 91st Birthday to your mom.
Wow, that is wonderful. Still doing all their yard work? I do love hollyhocks!
I need to get back to working on my cards for this Christmas. Sending letters and cards to all those I cannot visit will be a good thing for me to do this year.
Happy Birthday Mom!

The yard work keeps them young! Happy birthday to your mom. I had one grandparent who lived into her 90s and lived on her own until the very end. She loved her flower garden too.
Sounds like she had a very special day. Keep on celebrating! Their backyard is beautiful!!

HaPpY, HaPpY Birthday to your beautiful Mom. She looks wonderful and happy. The gift of flags was brilliant. Just looking at the backyard photo shows how much she loves to make the yard beautiful and the flags will be a great addition.

Your mom looks fabulous and young for 91! I think the secret is staying busy and active, which by the looks of her garden she does.

Happy birthday to your mom! You should stop giving away her secret. She doesn't even look close to 91. I would never have guessed it, if you hadn't said anything.
