Here is a picture from a *few* years ago.

Lots of things have changed over the years, but mom is the glue that holds the whole family together. Her love is constant and unchanging. Even though I'm not a mother (to two-legged beings, anyway) she is my role model in so many ways.
Here are some pictures from last weekend. My sister S and I bought mom a tandem kayak. She can now go kayaking with us any time she wants, and she can just enjoy the ride while someone else does the paddling! How cool is that?

She was so happy with her kayak that she wouldn't let us take it away to store it. She's making dad find a place to keep it at their house! It looks like dad made some saucy remark here, and is about to get paddled for it.
Off to find a storage spot in one of their out-buildings...and to dream of warmer weather and afternoons out on the lake...
Happy birthday, mom. I love you more than words can say.

Happy happy Birthday to your mom! Anyone who is still kayaking at 73 must be doing something right!
That picture embodies essentially everything I love about that era--I wish it hadn't ended.
You're parents are the best, Aunt D! :)
