September 30th was my mom's 75th birthday. Since she's a 50-mile one-way drive away, and I had a doctor's appointment that day, and parent conferences the next, we (Jesse and I, and Linda and Bill) decided to celebrate with her on Saturday - October 3rd (my official first day of fall break).

Linda and Bill provided lunch (KFC) and a yummy chocolate cake. We bought her a purple, digital camera. She's been telling us she needed one for a while now, so it was risky buying it, when her favorite past-time is shopping. Fortunately, it worked out! Here's a few pictures of the celebration.
