Mom (Freda) had her 80th Birthday Party on May 3rd although she didn't hit the 80th mark until May 7th. We had lots of family and friends (about 115) join us for the celebration. Claudia's son, Todd traveled all the way fromCalifornia with his family to enjoy the festivities. We had a wonderful day of visiting and reminiscing. We had a big display of mom's quilts,scrapbooks, pictures and favorite things. Special old-fashioned games andeven a personalized Davies Monopoly Game gave the little ones a chance to play. Scrapbooking items were available for making special thank you or 'memories of grandma' cards. The kids had a great time cutting, drawing and gluing. We had a treasure hunt through mom's life with a treasure for those completing the game (Written testimony to her posterity and book marker with her picture) We discovered lots of fun tidbits about her life and character. What a fun day. What a special lady. We were also fortunate to have dad (John R) come for a couple hours to visitwith us.
