Vicky Celebrates Double 9's

 

While accessing Mimi's (Vicky) 99th birthday celebration was supposed to be a quick 4 hour jaunt, it turned out to be an over 8-hour challenge with (and for our 15th century accountant, Andrew, as many "C" notes) for my jet-set family.  The event, however, was most certainly a once in 99 years-type event.

 

The pre-event rumors were flying.  I heard from more than one family member that Mimi was dreading the event, but that couldn't have been further from the truth.  It was clear that the opportunity of an extended family event was something that was worth the extended energy. Mimi looked great and never seemed to tire as she moved from exhibit, to casino, to dinner and up early for the send off breakfast.

 

Here are the notes from my reporter’s notebook:
