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.
Just thought to look at yourblog...thanks for the updates
