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...

My mother, Deirdre, enjoys a glass or two of fancy fizz at her
60th party

That's what folk do
when they're 60. A lot.

Uncle Declan brings
out the old geetar for
a few Beatles numbers

And tries to take on a
real warbler

Mixing looks. This
merges the 'Gatsby
dandy' look with the
'released from a
mental hospital' look
