Mom's 90th Birthday Party

Mom turned 90 on April 12, so Liz suggested we have a celebration last weekend, similar to the one we had for Dad three years ago. The highlight for me was surprising Mom by showing up on her doorstep Friday eve. It was wonderful to spend Friday and Saturday eves with my folks, to see so much family at the party and to spend Sunday with Rob and Anna and family, Court and Todd, and Whit.
Here are Uncle Mayo and Aunt Elsie with Mom and Dad.

Thanks to Liz for getting us organized, Lisa for putting together the family scrapbook, Terry and Angela for the food and decorations, and all for making the party such a special event.

Mom's New Friend

Mom spotted this little fellow for the first time in the Ohia tree off the porch the other day. He seems to like it here, and I got to meet him this morning during Conference.
