Birthday Thanks

I recently celebrated a significant birthday (3/4 century!!) in LA and want to thank all my kids, grandkids and great grandkids for a wonderful celebration. Bonnie, with input from Robin, put on and organized a fantastic multi-course Japanese dinner. Chris and Beth drove up from San Diego and managed to keep me out of the kitchen for the surprise. I was overwhelmed with a present: Ipod nano loaded with great music and 106 family photos - and video messages from those not able to make it. I missed Claire, Brian and kids but his 90 yr old grandma trumped my 75. If I make it to 90 I hope you all will be there. It was all very special - and it reminded me of the wonderful 60th surprise birthday that Nancy planned 15 years ago!. Just a big "thank you" for a memorable trip. Barbara - known as mom&grandma.
