Family party

We had an early birthday party for Mom tonight — she will be 83 years old on Saturday. Since Judy and Rachael are in town but will be leaving on Thursday, and since Matt is entering the MTC on Wednesday, this was a good chance for the family to assemble at the Seville. We purchased some "Sensuous Sandwiches" in honor of Mom's preferences from years past, and had some birthday cake too.

Unfortunately, Mom was not very responsive tonight. She's had a couple of tough weeks. There have only been one or two days during the past 10 where she was alert and cheerful. She's so tired and sluggish; she just spends most of the day in bed, and it's a struggle to get her up for meals. I hope with the warming spring weather she'll do better again!
