Our mom often made angel food cake for us for our birthdays. Her birthday is coming up so we made an angel food cake in her honor! All three of us worked on it.
My mother’s ashes were committed to the Eternal Reefs project. My family attended the casting where we put her ashes into a solution to make a “pearl” and also decorated the collar of the reef ball.

Afterwards, we went to a restaurant and hung out with our dad.

My sisters are smart at crosswords. They did one together.
Patricia convinced us to do one-minute contour drawings of each other without looking at the drawings. Here’s Lindsay’s friend Amber and Lindsay drawing each other.
Amber (Patricia’s friend) came over to see us after our mom’s death and she brought her tiny dog. Lindsay is a dog person and she loved this cute little gal, even though she is NOT a lap dog.

Later, Amber gave Patricia a really nice massage to help her headache!
Small gathering for New Year’s Day–my tradition of serving breakfast! We made waffles, mini omelets containing mushrooms and swiss cheese, hash browns, biscuits, soy bacon, sausage, and fruit. Mom, Jeaux, and Lindsay came.
