My Mom's Oscar Party
My Mom and her friends have been dressing up and throwing Academy Awards parties for as long as I can remember. They alternate every year. This year it was my Mom's turn again. She always puts on the best parties! She leaves no stone unturned when creating her party atmosphere. I have wonderful memories of the many parties she's thrown over the years. She's a real party girl... that Mom of mine! What's most impressive, is that she does it all by herself! Everyone loves to come to her house, especially for a party. This particular group has been doing this for close to 40 years! It's become a tradition for them. There is something life affirming to see a bunch of 60 and 70 year-olds dressing to the nines and celebrating the Oscars every year! Once the nominations are announced... My Mom sets out in earnest to see all the movies up for Best Picture. Everyone votes and at the end of the evening the winner is announced. Believe it or not...
