Happy Birthday, Mama!


Mama turned 79 today.
She sounded like a kid on the phone, "Darling, don't forget my lipstick!"
Tell me how many grandmas are as kikay at 79? Well Mama is definitely one of them.

I owe her a major visit...her lipstick and perfume are sitting by my cabinet, wrapped beautifully...I better see her before the month ends... It's been too long...and I have truly missed her.
