Celebrate Birthdays

 

Birthdays should always be special days for everyone; but it seems the Collicott Sisters always think they should be extra-ordinarily special!  Sisters LaNeta Carlock and Myrna Collicott have May birthdays 6 days apart; and though 6 years difference in age; they have celebrated their birthdays together for many years.  Since their Mother Opal is no longer living to host their party; their younger sister Galena Webster becomes Mama II and hosts their special celebration.  Sunday afternoon, Mother's Day, the family enjoyed chocolate and angel food birthday cakes, homemade ice-cream, and fresh strawberries.  Gifts included flowers to plant, chocolates, and special T shirts.  In fact, you will probably see all 3 sisters wearing T shirts that say, "What happens with the sisters stays with the sisters!"  Later that afternoon the sisters went to Myrna's home for more gifts, piano playing, pictures, and cold lemonade.  It was a delightful day!
