November 10: Mom and I (mostly mom) were invited to a 90th birthday party of a dear family friend: Erna VanderKooi (pictured below). She and my mom have been friends for ... oh, more than 50 years. She and David have been married 20 years now and are pretty spry being that Erna just turned 90 and David is 96.
We drove out to Zeeland for the occasion and saw a lot of old friends ... many of them in their late 80's and 90's.
My mom is the youngest of the four pictured below. Next to her is dear Helma (also 90), then Erna, and then Linda (who is turning 90 next month). I'm glad I was able to take mom to the party. She enjoyed seeing friends she hadn't seen in a very long time. Me too.
