A couple of nightss before my actual day, friends and I gathered. DB on the left celebrates her birthday a week after mine. I gave her a water cup that says "what happens tonight ends up on Facebook tomorrow."
Fall colors are not at their peak yet, but here and there one can see a tree that's more far along. This pretty tree is at the care center where my dear aunt just died. Her husband, my uncle, still lives there. He has dementia, and I don't know how much he understands about his wife's passing. Such a sad end of life for two intelligent, caring, dynamic people.
My mother, age 93, is now the last living member of her original family of two parents and 7 siblings. I hope she'll stick around for a while yet.
P.S. Thanks for kind emails and notes I have received. I really appreciate them. It has been a tough couple of weeks, but I'm feeling OK. Hoping to get my sewing mood back very soon.

C: My condolences on the passing of your aunt. How is your mom doing with the news? My thoughts are with you.
Happy (late) Birthday. I understand what you're saying regarding your aunt. My Mom is also 93, and the last of 9 siblings, but sadly her mind has left the building.
Bittersweet . . . Sending hugs.
