Visiting the great-aunt on pre-100 birthday party. We went up to Richmond to get together with the family to celebrate the birthday – a few days before the actual day! We had the mayor give a speech and certificate. She also got a letter from one of her representatives (of course, whether or not he is her<\/strong> representative depends on which party he is in!) Don’t know if she’ll get a card from the president! There was also a bit of singing. Family provided drinks and nibbles (those sandwiches were good) and the home provided the punch and cake. \u00a0There was also a good crowd there!<\/p>\n

After the party and clean up, we headed out for some shopping and got a great shirt! Photos to follow!<\/p>\n

Then just hung out with family while finishing up the leftovers from the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
