Turning 60 is a big occasion for anyone.My mother decided to mark it by throwing a party in her house with a Great Gatsby theme.So everyone had to come in costume. It was good fun.She and Kevin head off on a trans-America Winnebago trip on the 3rd of June.
Happy birthday, Mom!
Now everybody do the Charleston...
