Aunt Louise's 97th birthday party.

This blog has been sadly neglected the last few weeks soooo...time to catch up. 

I arrived back in Ft. Worth a few days before Aunt Louise's 97th birthday party and to rehearse for the celebration, we took in a few lunches that included cake and candles.

One waitress decided to take a selfie--yep, we were getting in the mood. 

When the big day arrived the chef at Hill Villa Apartments produced an amazing cake. 

  Yes, the last name is misspelled but the cake tasted so good nobody cared.

Family started arriving from miles away.  Cousins Andre and Glenda drove all the way from a camping trip in Oklahoma, just for the party.

Aunt Louise's friend and neighbor, (Louise #1), arrived with her daughter Connie and son-in-law, Scott. 

The turnout was great.  Even the Lawrence's (The couple on the right) who own and operate the Museum of the Americas in Weatherford closed up for the afternoon and drove to the party.

Music was provided by this handsome cowboy, Craig Murphy, who is a fan of Aunt Louise's--and vice-versa.

And if you think oldsters can't kick up their heels, you are missing some good parties. 

This guy is now over 100 years old! 

Buddy asked Aunt Louise to dance... 

The wheelchair was hardly an obstacle.

I hope you can tell by the pictures what a good time was had by all. 

Very talented Hannah supplied some Patsy Kline music. 

  

Happy Birthday, Aunt Louise.  I plan to be there for your 98th.
