Wednesday, December 17th was Mom's 80th birthday! She was showered with cards and letters from family and friends near and far. Even the President of the United States, George Dubya, sent her a card! Thanks to all of you who sent your happy birthday wishes! She called today in tears saying what a great birthday she had!
Lori and I fixed dinner and we had a wonderful time! Butchie (Art) and Fishie (Dave) were also there, giving Mom their usual hard time...lots of laughs were had by all. Later, Monte and most of his family (Caitie went home because she had a rough week) stopped by, too. And so it was, "Let the Wii games begin!!"
I don't know who likes the Wii the most: Gpa or the Grandkids. Well, really, I think Gpa does. He does Wii Fit almost everyday for his work out now since they don't go to the web. It's a great thing - that Wii is! What's even greater is that Mom/Dad and all there friends are staying young by playing it and having Wii Parties!
Last year at this time, Mom was just a few days post 5-bypass surgery. It was by God's grace that we got to keep her with us for some more time. As usual, we thank you for your prayers and your loving attention. And thank you for making her 80th birthday special for her...
Love,
Audi

Let me first say ...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADONNA!!!"
Thanks, Audi, for those wonderful, happy, gleefilled fotos of the birthday celebration. My gracious, I didn't realize how much you and your sister look alike. That's freaky! You two could be twins.
Great to see all the smiles; and I sure hope that my card was included in the card file which showered your mom with the love she deserves. Following this blog gives me so much joy. And God has certainly blessed the Chamberlins with a cornicopia of love.
Blessings for Christmas and the New Year ... <'BB><
HI FRIENDS! I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE PRAYERS, CARDS AND THE KIND WORDS YOU HAVE SENT ME. IT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
