This was it, the Main Event! Adele’s birthday was actually yesterday, but the party was scheduled for a Saturday so more of the family could attend. There were a couple dozen attendees in person, from longtime friends to all three kids, with some of their kids and their kids’ kids, AKA great grandkids. There was also a FaceTime call with the missing grandkid in Alaska and a niece with the new grandniece in Wisconsin, and someone else in Hawaii.
It was at the house of Sally’s older sister and her husband, and they went all out on the 99 stuff. She got the shirt, and the banner behind her had “99 & Fabulous” on it. She is also sporting a sash with that same sentiment and a tiara with 99 in the middle. They also got a 99th birthday card and one of those trivia pamphlets all about 1927.
Food was potluck, with every guest bringing something to nosh on. Someone brought the large birthday cake, and because it is Mardi Gras season, the hosts bought 2 King Cakes from 2 different local bakeries. There was also champagne. The party wound down after about 4 hours, but not because of the birthday girl; she was still kickin’ and it was the generation below with tired eyes that wanted to head out…
