Yesterday was my Mamaw Dunn's 85th birthday. She lives in a nursing home a few miles away and I hate to say that I do not visit her enough. I am always a little uneasy going there b/c you never know what I will find. This visit was actually pleasant. It is really a nice facility - clean and all.

My mom being ever so thoughtful bought a slice of cake for my grandma. Even though it was a bad day for Mamaw (she was not responding very well), mom put a lite candle on the cake. Kaylea did not get a chance to help blow it out so she lite it again with a match.

I was relaxing and enjoying the visit when I noticed some unusual commotion in the hallway. I saw nurse and several maintenance men seeming panicked and acting as if they lost something. Suddenly I realized that they were smelling our candle & match and thought the place was on fire. The nurse was saying "I checked all the rooms" and "I smell it really strong right here". We were totally busted. You know - oxygen and all - I guess open flames are frowned upon.

I think I will forever remember Mamaw's 85th birthday.
