Elaine turned 100 on Thursday. Since she lives in our building, most of the people in our building got together for a party on her actual birthday. Linda’s daughter decorated a chair for her to sit in.
We made her stay in her room until we were ready for her to come down.
Here she is with Mary Alice who organized the party.
We tried to get her up in the chair but to no avail so we sat her in front of it.
Betsy did a Minnie Pearl rap in homage to one of the characters that Elaine often portrayed. Minnie Pearl is her favorite although I hear she does a mean Charlie Chaplin.
We had put together songbooks with the words modified by Mary Alice to be all about Elaine.
After we sang to her she honored us with a Minnie Pearl favorite. Several of the women wore hats with price tags of $100.oo on them. Here’s mine.
I had to leave early for the Happy Hour Out.
All day Friday, relatives and friends began arriving for her big birthday party on Saturday. Here is our Birthday Princess with her crown and banner in her sized down decorated chair.
The birthday cakes were beautiful. The first one says Happy 100th Birthday, Elaine.
In addition to cake, chex mix, water, sodas, and beer—there were mimosas. Here are Gert and Lyn enjoying some.
Most everyone sat under the carports in the shade. I’m at the head of the table with my mimosa in hand.
There was quite a crown at the party.
Here is Elaine getting her picture taken with the cakes that enumerated 100.
Some of the ladies from the sing along group sang some songs to Elaine.
I think Elaine really enjoyed her birthday parties and I know that the rest of us did as well.
