Today is My Mother's Birthday

As u are seeing a photo of Mom and me above, this photo was taken on Mother's Day last year.

Today is my mother's birthday. I never forget her birthday. I always remember that. I faxed a birthday greeting to Mom this morning. She thanked me when her fax message returned. I forgot to add "66 kisses" written in that first message but I did the 2nd one. LOL! 66 is her age but she looks youthful and healthy. I bought a new pretty blouse for her birthday early, few weeks ago. Mom is happy with it.

I've heard a story about a birthday party for my mother when she was 9 while was living in Pennsylvania. Aunt Betty, my mother's sister, was stayed at a hospital due to a terrible accident while playing outside when she was young girl. Betty wanted to have a birthday party for her sister, Bonnie (my mother), at a hospital. The party was a success. Wow, that was a good idea. I think I saw an old picture of a birthday party but I don't have one here in Florida. Sorry. Aunt Betty have one in a box of her file cabinet. I guess.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Slideshow of Father's Day Photos. Dad Rides My Scooter Today.

Last Fri night, I had an idea about Father's Day for Dad. My idea was to make pancakes and eggs for him. He will like them deliciously. I faxed to ask Dad which day he would be preferring on Sat morning or on Sun. Dad decided on Sunday morning. It is the best. Mom informed me that when she sent faxing back to me. On Sunday morning after I checked e-mails in my computer, I had to make pancakes and eggs in the kitchen right away before Dad showing up. It was a busy morning. It took me to prepare them for about 15 minutes. Then Dad showed up on time as I was still in a process to make breakfast. Dad was the first to eat his breakfast. I gave this special breakfast to Dad as Father's Day present. He loves them deliciously. Dad knows how good I am at. See a slideshow of photos I took of Dad yesterday below:

And then Dad went home but will come back to pick me up at a noon for going over to my parents' house. He did come and get me. At my parents' house, we had a dinner together. Later, as Dad was about taking Mom out for visiting her client at a nursing home, their car broke down. It's old but pretty soon they will be getting a new car. They came back inside the house. I planned wanting to go back to my apt that late afternoon but I felt I am stuck at my parents' house. Otherwise that early evening, their car returned working again. Thank goodness. I did go home.
Dad rode in my scooter this morning! He came in to visit me unexpectedly before 10 am. I didn't know he's riding in my own scooter. Few times he used it. I figured his car broke down again. Dad had come a long way to get there. Wow! LOL, he's having a fun in riding a scooter. I noticed he's wearing a yellow bathing suit. I guess Dad is going to YMCA, north of where I live. YMCA is near the hospital. Also, that's where Dad helped his boss to build in his fund raising career but now, Dad is retiring since in the early 1990s. Anyways, Dad left and I was watching him riding a scooter outside. My parents looked after my scooter at their house cuz it doesn't fitting into the size of living room in my apt. Someday I will have a big living room for it to be fitted in. Hopefully.

Entry for June 14, 2007 - Got A New Hearing Aid and Shopping.

This late morning I had an appt with a hearing aid specialist, Julie, at the shopping plaza in Daytona Beach. Mom picked me up at my apt and drove me there. I got a new hearing aid for my left ear. Finally. That new hearing aid is much better than an old one. I can hear it clearly. I am very happy to receive it. With an old one, the level of volume was a little bit medium to low. That almost is not working. 2 weekends ago, David, my youngest brother, heard a sound of buzz that was coming from my old hearing aid but I told him I don't hear anything. He's sworn it. I didn't know which one of them that makes a noise until I found the problem. It's in my left ear. Anyways, I asked for a package of more batteries cuz I ran out already.
Mom and I went shopping at Marshall's afterwards. We couldn't find anything that interests us so we didn't buy. And then we left Marshall's. As Mom was driving a car, she noticed her car seems having a problem again. It's not working. So, Mom stopped the car in the parking lot at a doctor's office and called someone about it. She waited for her car to be a cool down. And then Mom restarted her car. It's working but she wants to leave AC off alone cuz if AC turns on, the car won't be starting. Then Mom was headed for the beachfront where Mom wanted go to Beall's Outlet. Beall's Outlet is in the shopping plaza and where tourists are shopping. Beall's Outlet is the best cuz it gives u sales discount. That shopping plaza is south of my high school and is across the road from some hotels on the beach. Many tourists do crossing the road to get there for their errands. Anyways, I found a new white blouse with no sleeves. Beautiful. It's designed by Gloria Vanderbilt. It fitted me prefectly. I also bought a nice blouse with short sleeves for my mother as her early birthday present. Her birthday is coming up soon. It will on June 28th. After we shopped there, we went to Publix, a supermarket, few next doors to Beall's Outlet. The reason we went there is that I had to get few TV dinners and my lunch and Mom had to get some food. I orded my lunch: Philly Cheese submarine sandwich. Yummy! After we left Publix, Mom helped pushing my wheelchair as I was pushing a cart at the same time. LOL! That's so funny! Can u imagine that? We were heading for Mom's car. After I got in, I finally ate my lunch. I was so hungry. It's late, at 2 pm. And then we went home. I had wonderful time with my Mom today.

Slideshow of Kitty's Family at Steak n Shake on June 2, 2007

See a photo above, in front row: Dominic, Darren, and Donald; in back row: Johusa's wife, Johusa, Uncle Bill, Heidi, Mom, and David.

2 weekends ago, I went to Steak 'n Shake restuarant with my family for our dinner. I ordered Steakburger, small french fries and Strawberry Milkshake. Some of my family members are from Pennsylvania. They are on a vacation.
Let me tell u something about my cousin, Donald, in that picture. Donald was born with a Down's syndrome. He's special and living with his father in Pennsylvania. Donald doesn't know how to use a computer but I think he likes to watch TV and swim. I don't know what level of Donald's IQ is. Several years ago when Uncle Bill and his family were visiting us during a summertime, I heard Donald was afraid of a shark when he saw it in an ocean and ran away from it faster. As Donald was running faster, he yelled, "Shark!" when he was heading for the beach. I swear I do remember what happened but I was not there.

Yummy!

SEE YA!

Entry for June 08, 2007

Hi, everybody!
Have news for u. I am getting a new hearing aid next week. Yay! I went to see another new hearing aid specialist at Florida State Hearing Aids, Inc. in Daytona Beach this morning. Her name is Julie. She's nice. Her business shop is across the street from a hotel and a mall. I took a hearing test. It went well. I was informed my right ear is good but my left one is not. I can't hear any noises so low in my left ear. The percent of both of my ears has a different level between them. One of my hearing aids is getting old. I have been using it in a long time. I can get a new one and another one of my hearing aids is going to be fixing. Later on, I will get another new one. Julie asked me if I want a something that carries a hearing aid with long cords on the chest but I replied her it would make me uncomfortable. I had some things that I wore when I was a young girl before age 13. I received a first set of hearing aids without long cords when I was 13. Wow, I had been using them for a very long time until I received 2nd set in the early 2000s or before that. I can't wait to see a new hearing aid.
Yesterday, I got visitors at my apt. Mom and Joe. Mom cleaned up my apt little bit while Joe was looking at my DVD movies as he was talking with someone on his cell phone. LOL! He wanted to borrow some of DVD movies for watching them on TV at the home of my parents. He took few of my floppy disk! And then Mom and Joe left.
Did u hear about Paris Hilton on the news tonight? Poor Paris. She's going back to jail again and cried. Paris yelled at the judge it's not right when he ordered her to go back there. Police officers concern she will be suffering. IMO, Paris should be stopped being a party girl anymore. She must have to be grow up. Paris' sister, Nicky, already gave up her party life cuz she got married in Las Vegas but her marriage was annulled. Nicky is currently dating another man since Oct 2006. Did u know Paris is related to Elizabeth Taylor? I already know about Elizabeth's first marriage little bit. Elizabeth was married to Conrad Hilton in 1950.

SEE YA!
