Mozelle Boultinghouse was honored with a birthday party by her daughter-in-law, Darliene in Oak Hill on Feb 23 & 24. The party started Saturday afternoon with a sleep-over Saturday night and brunch on Sunday. Mozelle, her three sisters, nieces, great nieces and several friends had loads of fun playing cards way-into the night. There was of course birthday cake and lots of food and snacks. If you don’t see Mozelle out much, it’s because she received numerous cross word puzzles and electronic games. She said she was really anxious to start them.

The younger ladies there had trouble staying up with Mozelle and her sisters. It was great fun and all are looking forward to next year.
