| Surpise!
We surprised her alright. My brother, Chris had made it to her house 1 hour before me and kept her occupied. She didn't know he was coming, but since he lives only a few hours, it was and wasn't a surprise. She knew my youngest brother, David and little sister, Tracy were coming it on Saturday.
So all of a sudden, Chris came in on Friday night and then I came in hollering "I hear someone is getting old this weekend!" Of course, over the weekend she informed me that "she would let me know when she was getting old".
Many days I feel like she will out live me. My mother is amazing with the energy has!
It was a long weekend, due to travel and not sleeping well.
But it was good to see family we hadn't seen in quite awhile (it is hard to visit much when you live 15 hours or more away and are broke all the time) and meet family we hadn't meet before. There was a lot of laughing and abit of crying. Chris did a really nice DVD slide show for mom, with plenty of old pics. We all exchanged photos off the digital cameras (technology can be good) before everyone dispersed.
All in all I would say a Good Time was had by All!

MOM of 12 in MISSISSIPPI:Currently living in NEW MEXICO This is about me and the joys and frustrations of being a woman, wife, mother of 12 and grandmother of many. It will be thoughts about things tried or I wish I had tried. But most of the time it will be my ponderings, mutterings and just getting through this life as I know it.

Barb, Your mother and you look so much alike! So beautiful! It is good to hear that you were able to see her for her birthday. I am happy for you both. May she live for many more years to come, and you absolutely MUST follow. Distance is hard, absence is harder... Missing you! Sarah
