Today was Maxine Dugger's 100th birthday. Maxine has been a resident of the building that I managed since December 09 and it has been a pleasure getting to know her and her family. Her son's threw her a beautiful party at a golf course and invited staff to attend. There was a live band, open bar and prime rib buffet...better than a wedding! Jeff came along to check out the golf course and watch Johanna (and wish Maxine a Happy Birthday and eat some tasty food of course...)
Johanna did a fantastic job and took her bottle well. This made me very happy since Jeff and I will be going out on a date tomorrow for our anniversary and I have been nervous about leaving her alone for 4 hours. At least now I know she is capable of eating with out me there...phew!
On each table there was a chart of Maxine's family tree. Her and her husband had 3 children which then lead to 9 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren and 20 great great grandchildren- wow!
There were bottles of champagne on each table with a beautiful picture of Maxine from her younger days. I love looking at olden day pictures, they are always so classy looking.
Her family compiled some poster boards loaded with pictures of Maxine's life. It was so neat looking back at her and her husband's life...their Model T, the cafe they owned together for 50 years, and all of their family past and present.
We love you, Maxine!
This is not a picture from Maxine's party but of my friends Brooke and Brad. We went to see Trabsiberian Orchestra together last week and Brooke was finally able to meet little bean. It was so great to see them!
