Mom

My mom celebrated her birthday at a small family gathering, mostly with her children and grandchildren. But we're all scattered, so not everyone got to be present. Even so, it was a happy occasion, enjoyed by all.

Grandma Alice and my daughter Whitney represent the oldest and the youngest of my direct lineage, separated by seventy-three years.
