With all of the commotion of the last two months, I have not done a blog post of Popi's 90th birthday party. It was held on October 18th - the day before his 90th birthday and exactly one month before he died. Brenda and I had always talking about holding a big celebration for this special birthday. We had a pig roast with all the fixins, hay rides, fireworks and live county/blue grass music from the local band Double Strung. Marisa made the famous jam cake and we all sang Happy Birthday. We even did two group sing-a-longs of "Wabash Cannonball" and the Hank Williams hit "Jambalaya". Most special was the toast given by Marisa thanking Popi and Noni for their years of love and sacrifice.
We had 100 attend including most of Popi's grandchildren and all five of his great grandchildren. Little did we all know that this was his final party. Brenda worked hours on the planning of the party and she made it a truly special day for Popi. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a day to remember!
