Preciously

Digging in the archives tonight.  My mom looking super happy as her friends sing happy birthday to her.  She was 75 years young that day.

I have to say, though, that this picture is bittersweet.  Only one of the women pictured is still living.  But they were all lovely women of God, so I'm sure they are singing in heaven now.

Vivaciously

Delectably

I think we've all been there.

I was looking through old matchbooks this evening and found this.  I know I never went to the Carlton, so this was either something I found as a kid or someplace my parents went for a company Christmas party. 

If that address looks familiar, it's because this popular venue was located where the Mall of America sits now.  The Carlton Celebrity Room opened in 1979 and closed in 1986.
