What a great Memorial Day weekend, despite the most amazing rain we've seen in awhile! The family arrived for a very fun 90th birthday celebration for mom--and a good time was had by all--or at least it seemed that way! I was so appreciative of travelers that came such a long way at a busy time of year--and offered lots of help, too, Mom will be talking about this for a long time to come, and it meant so much to her. What a little cutie she was at her 'open house' gathering. At one point, she was sitting & chatting with three other amazing women in their 90's--having a fine time. Couldn't help thinking they were ushering her into their elite little club!

Mom & Dad about a year before they married (circa 1937). This was one of those little photo strips from the machine.
And here's the gang this weekend! Weren't we having fun?! Too bad you can't quite see the tiara that mom was happy to wear all day! (you can click on the photo to get a bigger view)
Probably the best gift of all for mom (besides having all of us here!) was from grand-daughter-in-law, Amy--and turned out to be a great gift for all of us. She gathered up many wonderful photos that allowed us to have a little slide show that ran all day and then gave mom a wonderful hard bound book of all the photos. She's almost worn out the pages already, looking through it! Thanks so much, Amy!

What a great group photo! That can go in the next album. :) When Joe came home last night he hooked up the camera to the tv and we had our own little slide show and viewing of the videos. It looks like a wonderful time was had by all! Kudos for thinking of the party and making it happen, Judy!
But where are you standing in the group photo? that wallpaper and picture of a revolutionary soldier is... where?
Thanks for the memories. you look a LOT like your Mom in her photo booth shot! xo, j
