Happy 90th Birthday, Mrs Sweeney!
My mother, Mrs Sweeney, celebrated her 90th birthday today. She is not usually one for celebrating birthdays, but this year has been different. There has been a stream of wellwishers visiting the shop throughout the day, and she has really enjoyed meeting so many friends again.
Mother still works in the shop 6 days a week, and has no thoughts of retirement. As well as specialising in our ladies underwear, she plays a vital role in the administration and packing of our internet and telephone orders.
We're both very grateful to all the customers and other friends who have sent cards, telephoned, called in, given flowers and chocolates, and marked her special day in so many ways. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness - it is much appreciated.
