Three mothers celebrating: Karleen, Mom, me, Faye (youngest sister of Karleen)

Lunch was mid-afternoon, then we sat in the front room for several hours chatting about everything under the sunKarleen’s Mom, 91 year old gardenerMom, still gardening after 1 ½ hoursEd, Mom, me, FayeEd and Faye, good friends. Thanks especially to Ed for inspiring this post
