Mom's 93rd birthday is today. For the occasion she received many phone calls from friends, children and grandchildren all of which she greatly appreciated. She also loved the presents she was sent. While the pain in her left leg continues to bother her and bewilder us, she did agree
to let us take her out to lunch. And so we sallied forth to a quaint little restaurant called 'Up The River' (see picture) in Millington, a small town about 15 miles from Chestertown. The 
setting reminded me of a restaurant in Spring, Texas that Prue had taken us to. The ambiance was down home but the food was very good. Believe it or not mom actually ordered a root beer float to go with her meal and appeared to enjoy every drop of it.After lunch we went back to her apartment and had ice cream cake (two servings of ice cream in a couple of hours didn't do her in but just about did it for me).
We left after a couple of hours to run some errands. Mom was still going strong and, I think, throughly enjoyed her birthday. Would that we all do so at 93 and beyond.

What a great birthday! It made me want to go out and get a root beer float! Many thanks for the pics, and for the wonderful time you are giving Mom.
I agree that the primaries have been (and are) a good thing for the country. lots of people feel engaged as never before. What about all those folks in Puerto Rico? It's great for all of us.
Thanks for your blog, and all that you do.
Normandy sounds wonderful, but I don't know much about libraries any more. What is their "new role?"
