I don't know the best way to celebrate a milestone birthday like Mom's 80th, but we did our best to make sure she enjoyed it. Pooh flew down from Portland and we drove up the Mt. Rose Highway to do a little sightseeing. Here's the birthday girl as we visited some aspen groves along the creeks. (We told her that the aspens were her birthday candles.) She sure doesn't look like she's 80!
Just having a family gathering was nice. We christened her new dining room with a birthday dinner. She may have made her own cake (guess she wanted to be ready!), but at least she let Pooh decorate it for her and she was surprised at the extra large birthday candles we found. There were balloons and flowers and long distance phone calls and gifts to open.
Happy Birthday!
