85 is a big number – especially when it’s your birthday. Mom celebrated hers today and by the way she looks, she might be around for another 15 healthy years. She has a few aches here and there but she still does her exercises every morning including yoga, she drives her car and her cognitive skills are as good as ever – except when she decides it isn’t. 

We had a birthday dinner for her and Sharm got her a tiramisu cake to satisfy her sweet teeth – that is – more than one sweet tooth if you will let her.
