Celebrating Mom’s birthday month

It is a bright shining morning. Mom rises up energetic with wild excitement and smiling, showing off her special dimples in her cheeks.

She starts moving toward the dining table. She see what we laid out for her, a vase filled with pink, white, red, and orange lilies, with a plate full of beef-bacon, scrambled eggs, and buttery grits. I read her a beautiful warm-felt card that speaks to the heart. Then my brother and I take her shopping for clothes and crochet supplies.

We take her on a cruise inside a humongous, pretty white and blue Carnival cruise ship. While we are coasting, some cute dolphins swim alongside with us. We dance to the ‘60s and ‘80s that she loves very much.

Next morning, Mom takes pictures of birds flying through the air. As the pearly moon rises, Mom reflects the positivity of life. That night is movie night. They play “Wrath of Man” with Jason Statham. The chairs in the boat are comfy like a sofa. For dinner, we are served a mouth-watering pizza with steak on top, aside a double-fudge cake with french vanilla ice cream, drenched in chocolate.

On several days we played sports, go dancing, take strolls, swim, and do lots of eating until we reach land. Then we take a stroll through the sandy beach where we buy souvenirs. Later, we coast home that afternoon but not before we receive a pleasant massage from nick to toe.
