HAPPY 86th BIRTHDAY, AUNT TERESA!!


Today, July 30, is our Aunt Teresa's birthday!! She is 86 years old. Last year, we had a wonderful celebration for her 85th Birthday here in Gilbert. Over 100 relatives and friends joined us for the weekend to honor this wonderful lady.

Teresa is in Douglas right now. Kerri, Cameron, and Kerri's friend went down on Monday. They fixed dinner for her last night, as they had to return to Gilbert today.

As I have said in previous entries, our family is blessed to have her in our lives!! I am so thankful for everything that she has done for me and for my children. She is truly one of the kindest, gentlest, people that you would ever want to meet. We are blessed to have her in our lives!!

She is so thrilled that we have made contact with some of our relatives in Ireland.

So, Teresa, happy 86th and here's to many more!!!

Sheila, you are so right about our dearest Aunt Teresa. She is the "Best of the Best!" She truly has written the book on "How to Age Gracefully." Teresa is such a great role model for all of us, and we are very blessed to have her as our matriarch. Teresa, I want to thank you for your unconditional love and your deep spirtuality. You are a guiding light for our families and a true inspiration.
By the way, the birthday cake I made for you was deeeeelicion!----even if I have to say so myself! Just wish you were here in Turlock to enjoy it! May God bless you with many more wonderful years.
I am going to sign this the way Teresa often signed her greeting cards.

I don't seem to take the time to leave my comments, but I know my mom had a "peaceful" and "happy" birthday at her "858" in Douglas. She enjoyed all the cards and phone calls.

I want to thank Sheila for her blog. The blog is a gift to all of us. Sheila has such a talent for writing, she should go professional. I believe Sheila represents the "best" of Margaret and my mom! I know her staff find her "funny" and very "compasionate". They are blessed to have her stay so long in public education.

I spend many hours driving my teens around and holding my neurotic german shephard during the summer rains!

I have been thinking about Johnny, Margaret, and Mary. I know they found ways to look after mom when we can't be in Douglas. God Bless Mom, Sheila and family.
