Big lunch celebration in Sao Paulo, a few friends and family members. We are missing all the fun, but they framed Mom’s favorite photo of our recent trip to Hawaii, so in a way, we are there!
FELIZ ANIVERSARIO, MAMAE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONA FILOCA! 😉

It’s my FIL’s 89th birthday today. We are having a big family luncheon later today.

WHat a coincidence! Hope you had a great party! I must say I started my day laughing to the point of tears, as my niece sent me “selected” photos of certain members of my family (one sister comes to mind), and let’s say the photographer was not very kind…. Anyway, they certainly had a blast at lunch yesterday…. the photos don’t lie 😉

a little story behind the Filoca: that is not my Mom’s name, but a nickname my Dad gave her probably while they were still dating. No idea where the nickname came from, it has no particular meaning. He was the only one who addressed her as such, but after he passed away, we all started calling her Filoca, and Phil, who prefers to address her in a more formal way, uses “Dona Filoca”.
Pretty cute…

Happy birthday to your mother, Sally. She’s a beautiful lady and doesn’t look her age. I know you miss her.

She is definitely aging well – beautiful skin, probably because she never abused the sun as “a certain daughter of hers” – and a very healthy looking gray hair, which I was lucky to inherit, genetically speaking 😉

On my next trip to Brazil I will try to find a particular photo of her and my Dad on their wedding day. She looks like a Hollywood superstar, so beautiful and happy. I want to scan it and make a nice copy to keep with me

I hope to do the same…. part of it is luck, right? No illnesses, no serious problems, no accidents. But we can do a lot to keep healthy, so gotta keep working on it.

She is overall very healthy, with some small problems that are normal for her age. Eats well, watches her soap operas on TV, the news, and has a mind sharp as a tack. I got my control-freak (and neat-freak) genes from her, and apparently they continue working for decades and decades… poor Phil, right? 😉
