Penny picked up Mom at 1:15 pm and texted everyone so they knew.  She also sent a photo of just HOW MUCH STUFF mom was bringing with her for the 2 days, with the message “Jesus!”.  It was kind of funny, but also another sad example of perhaps poor (or questionable) reasoning.  Did she really need to take all that?


Jim and I picked up Mickey at 2:45 pm.

Today was Mom's 87th birthday ! Charlie & Evelyn had arranged for the family to gather at  Antonio's Italian Cuisine  in Sterling Heights for her birthday dinner.  They also got a big, beautiful (and delicious) cake for dessert!  It was a great time.
