Mom's 90th BDay Bash! June 2018 My brother Joey was turning 60 so we told mom it was going to be a big family celebration in Michigan. My niece Nina escorted my mom there with her husband Marcel and her son Ryan. Then we sprung the surprise on her that we were really celebrating her bday a month early so family could be there to celebrate with her. I am a very lucky person to have such a wonderful family!
Terry made my mom this great mirror that says "90 Years Loved"
Before the bash: Mom making some fruit plates for the party
My beautiful mother!
Terry made my sister Cindy's coleslaw and potato salad, it turned out really good!

Joey and Terry setup their motorhome for my sister Mary to stay in during the visit. The thing is bigger then my apartment!
Joey gave us a job to make some signs to direct people where to park.

One of Joey's many projects, a Datsun that he's going to put a massive engine in, I think 2 cuzins and an aunt are fighting over who gets it!
Another of Joey's projects, a '54 I think, with an 800 horse power engine
Mom looks AB FAB!

The bar was setup in Joey's barn
They rented a tent for the backyard, thunderstorms were forecast-ed but we lucked out with a really nice day. I think my sister Phyllis sent down an order from heaven to clear the skies for my mother's bday!
A car Joey got, I think it's a 1931. He didn't restore it but took us for a ride in it later.
Terry made these great centerpiece's for each table
Each table had a different photo of my mom on it
They also included a teacup with my mom's favorite flower in it.
On one of the tables was this photo with my mom, sister Cindy and Mary, Terry and Aunt Hazel, Arlene, Krystn and Karly
Pete with the Macay Babysitter, Arlene!
