My Oma's 90th Birthday and a Linky

The restaurant in La Jolla where we had the birthday dinner

My hubby and I flew to the States to visit my Oma (German for grandma) for her 90th birthday. Today's photos are of the pre-dinner party we had at the rental home in La Jolla, San Diego, where family and friends gathered and also a couple of photos at the restaurant. There were about 15 people who came to celebrate the day with her. I also wrote a short poem for my Oma that morning, which I read at the dinner.

Thanks, Steve! Yes, I hope we all age well. I think humour helps, so keep at it! Take care!
(Did you notice that I chose British spelling for humour? I did that just for you!) :D

I would love to interview your Oma for NanaHood or perhaps you could write her story as a post for us? I would love it!

That sounds like a fabulous idea! You can email me the interview questions and I'll send them on to my Oma. I think hearing from her will be nicer than from me. Maybe only a few questions as I'm not sure if she'll need help from my aunt or cousin to type her responses, but I think she'd feel honored. :)

Yes, it worked! I was able to visit your pretty blog without a hitch! The way the linky works is that you type in the name of your blog or blog post under Link Title, then type in your email under Email Address (which I don't sell to anyone and rarely even look at), then copy your permalink to your post (most link parties ask for posts and not blog homepages) and paste that under URL making sure that you use http:// or https:// only once (so really it should say Permalink and not URL, but I didn't create the widget and wouldn't know how!), and that's it!
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!
