I had a wonderful 92nd birthday even if I couldn’t get together with all my family together. I have two daughters who live in Florida, so it is hard for them to come for all our celebrations. My daughters, Annette and Laura, and sister, Ann, surprised me with a small birthday celebration. I always love getting together with my family.
