80 is the new 70!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

We celebrated mom’s birthday at a luncheon with family and friends.   It was lovely.

Ten years ago, i was unable to attend her 70th birthday surprise party due to the US airspace remaining closed after the 9/11 attack.  How quickly a decade has slipped away.  But, I’m glad we were able to make it here this time to celebrate with everyone.
