Ava's 90th Birthday Party

Dale's mom, Ava Taylor, turned ninety this weekend and we threw a party. Saturday afternoon found us at the Old Mountville Schoolhouse welcoming friends and family to celebrate with us. I was busy, busy most of the time making sure the food, drink, and mementos were in ready supply that I snapped very few pictures. (I didn't even get one of the birthday girl.) But, there were others taking up the slack.
We used a winter theme with evergreens, snow covered branches, snowflakes and birds. We served homemade desserts, fruit, coffee and tea. The weather cooperated with chilly temperatures, sunshine and no snow. Lots of family from Virginia and North Carolina were in attendance, plus her local friends and churchmates. She was thrilled with it all.
Ava is a wonderful lady and does many kind deeds. I am happy that so many honored her on this special day.
