Rhoda Blade-Charest is with Mike Stine and 3 others in Croom, Maryland.
Had a birthday celebration today for my Mom’s 104-1/2 birthday. Theme was “Cupcakes, Cookies, and Chatter.” Ordered sandwiches from Giant, had a selection of chips and a big bowl of fruit! Thanks to Michelle Mulloy for providing our cupcakes and cookies. Everything was delicious.
