My good friend, Mary and her mom Marie took me out to dinner for my birthday! We went to a restaurant in Lake Oswego called Manzana's. She surprised me with a slice of cheesecake which I insisted we all share. The reason this is a special celebration with my friends is because Marie is 96 1/2 years young. Can you believe it? Doesn't she look fabulous? And all she needs is a walker to help her get around, but get around she does. Mary takes her to the track every day that is nice and she walks two times around the track. Don't we all just hope we can do all she does when and if we make it to 96 1/2 years old! On occasion I help Marie get into those compression socks when the regular person cannot do it. Those things are very hard to get on, I remember my mom needing to wear them after one of her times in the hospital - she had surgery and got the colostomy at that time. They were buggers to put on and nearly impossible to do it by oneself! Anyway, it was very special to have a dinner date with them and celebrate my 59th birthday. Marie is a very special lady and I love both these two dear friends. Mary is responsible for getting me back into the knitting bug. She knits the most fabulous baby blankets and sweaters and dresses. She is going to be ready when she has her first grandchild!
