Mom's Big Birthday Weekend

Happy Birthday, Mom! (Mom still hasn't been able to see my blog yet, as she has Webtv, an email system for the t.v., and no computer.) It is not clear if she will be able to access the blog. So far, she has not been able to. For her birthday weekend, we went to MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino in CT yesterday, a frequent destination for her and her friend, Jeanne. Though I have been to Foxwoods many times over the years, I had not been there in quite some time and not since the arrival of the MGM Grand, which is grand indeed. We had a lovely lunch and then hung out while Jeanne played the slots for awhile. I looked in some very expensive shops, and Mom lounged by the pool. Then Mom and I went to the Gelato Cafe, where Mom enjoyed a coffee gelato. Today, we had brunch at a remodeled train station, called, appropriately enough, "Union Station." It was yum, delicious, and Mom enjoyed her gifts. (She is fun and easy to buy for; likes all sorts of pretty and cute things.)
