Last night we celebrated my Mom's birthday- she's 89- at a gorgeous restaurant with a view of the Queen Mary and the harbor. At one time, she worked on the grand old ship so she was thrilled to be reminiscing about "the good old days" with our family and friends gathered there. Despite the fact that her short term memory isn't the best, her ability to recall and appreciate stories from the past is still in tact. And it was fun watching her tackle those jumbo shrimp!
