We interrupt this Alabama travel Series..to bring wishes of a very Happy Birthday to a very special lady....
This is our "cross the street neighbor" Mary Lou..she was 81 today...last year her family threw a big party for her for her 80th. Since she didn't have any plans tonight we decided to have her over for a birthday dinner. She was so happy...She had a stoke a few years back and because of that is paralyzed on her right side of her body so she get around on her scooter and boy does she get around. She lives by herself and is so independent. She is like a second Grandma to the girls. After we got back from our trip she came over and said, "she missed us and that it seemed like we were gone for like 2 weeks". The girls went up and gave her a big hug.
When we moved into the neighborhood she was the Welcome Party. We moved in right before Christmas and so she gave the girls little bears with candies for Christmas. She is always bringing them special treats from her Senior club where she is the President. Her favorite thing to do is play Bingo. And her one of her favorite cakes is a Lemon Cake so I made her a Lemon Sponge cake for her Bday.
This is a great recipe for all you Lemon Lovers out there....we have a whole house hold of Lemon Lovers.
See the sidebar under recipes....you'll love it. Happy,Happy Birthday Mary Lou....We Love you!
