If Mom is 80 What Does That Make Me?

Mom can't be 80 years old.  She is still that 21 year old inside, and is a dear friend to me. 
Sister Jo planned and hosted her party (great job, Sis).  All I did was the cake.  Luckily it traveled the 347 miles with very little problem.  Fondant is nearly indestructible, unlike the buttercream-frosted cakes of the past.

 All Mom's friends and relatives were very closed-lipped and it remained a secret until she walked in the door.   ##SURPRISE##
Even though she said she didn't want any fuss for her birthday, we were able to pull off a nice little gathering and she was pleased with it after all.
Jo made her a beautiful light-up floral arrangement and I made her one of my favorite aprons:
My Neighbor's Apron (link removed because it was corrupted)
This is so comfortable that you forget you are wearing it.  Really!
It is hard living so far away.
