I took my mama on a similar tour last fall. We went to the house she grew up in, her elementary school, and her junior high school. One special stop was the church all her family attended. They were just getting out from Sunday services so we talked with some of the leadership there and she's now on the mailing list for a big milestone anniversary celebration they have coming up this fall. We visited the cemetary where her parents were buried. And we ended at The Varsity Drive-In (she grew up in Atlanta). We took lots of pictures which she has really enjoyed. One of my cousins and her family went with us. Her husband painted a watercolor of the church and they gave that to mama for Christmas last year. So sweet... she loves it.

So glad your Mom had a great party - she really rocks!
My Mom turned 90 in March. She didn't want a big "fuss" (her words) but wanted a family celebration at my brother's house on LI, he lives about 20 miles east of her. I flew in for a long weekend, and we had the best time.
Bro had the party catered, food was great, she had a gorgeous cake and sis in law made fabulous hors d'oeuvres. Everyone gave or sent her a card with a hand written memory/sentiment, and everyone brought her a bottle of one of her favorite wines. The best pic of the event was her with the wine lined up on the table in front of her, her arms around it, with a big old grin! Going back to NY in a week to see her again.

My mama and I danced to "Dance With My Father" and then my four sons came and joined us. It was really sweet. This sentence brought tears to my eyes. Can't exactly explain why, it just did
What a beautiful party! Great job!
