Saturday Snapshot - 2/9/2013


SURPRISE

My mother as we celebrated her 90th birthday party last June.  She is such a sweetheart.

She was VERY surprised and teary-eyed as we all were.

Our BEAUTIFUL Mom.

We all had a great time and are grateful we still have our spunky 90-year-old mother.

Isn't she adorable?  

Could it be that eight kids
fifteen grandchildren
and three
great-grandchildren keep her young?  :)

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books.  It’s easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Alyce’s site.

You know what? She doesn't look anything like 90? I wonder what her secret is? She is amazing. I am really inspired by people who wear their years well, they give you hope.....

Great photos, Elizabeth! My goodness...she certainly doesn't look her age. Maybe being blessed with so many children and grandchildren has done the trick! Have a great day!
