92 years old
Deborah brought Mother but left before an unexpected crowd arrived: Robert and Denise with Leah; George and Anna; Stephanie; Andrea with Harrison; Ruth, Marion. Robert and Stephanie had to leave early, but that still made a bunch for lunch. Mary threw some more meat in the pot.
We had beef, sautéed yellow squash Deborah brought, seared potato and our own home-grown tomato. Too much going on to set up a photo shoot.
Mother, Andrea and George with Harrison. Four generations.
What is Uncle Marion doing on my jungle-jim?
Sang happy birthday to Mother. Cut the birthday pie. Chased Leah around. Bent each other's ear. Eventually, all company set out for their respective homes. It had been fun.
After the dust settled, Mary and I watched 3 Days to Kill (2014) from Netflix. Kevin Costner did an alright job as an aging CIA hit man. There was plenty of delicious irony as he had to constantly interrupt the performance of his "job" to take care of domestic matters. But, all felt unbalanced.
Got to spend a little time at the outpost.

A Happy Birthday to your mother! She doesn't look 92! Hope all the hubbub didn't wear her out too badly.
Happy Birthday to your mom. How pretty she is, John! I love her smile. Those four generational pictures are treasures! Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Perhaps tiring, too.
Thank you for your comment re: our son. We are very proud of him.
Sounds like a great 92nd b'day!
Happy birthday to your mother! I absolutely love her smile in that photo.
And my mom has that exact quatrefoil-pattern area rug. We just haven't laid it down yet.
Your mom looks great, and so happy! I'm glad she enjoyed her birthday gathering.
I have an exercise thing like that but I leave it outside since its big and my rooms are small.
happy birthday to your mum,John
It was a beautiful family gathering and all the people are smiling.
In friendship

The fun thing about getting old to me is seeing the great grand children.
your mom looks great.
Glad your mother had a nice birthday. No matter how many years one accrues, it's always nice to feel special on a birthday.
Your mom looks really good.
