Retro Thursday

My mom, July 1988, on her 47th birthday:
We got the bike fixed up as her birthday present, and gave her a BIG surprise party with all her work colleagues, which completely surprised her.

Okay, if you insist, I'll post those photos too:

See how surprised she was, walking in the front door with an armful of pool chemicals, to find her house full of her co-workers! She was totally shocked, but she loved it. This kind of thing would make me nervous, I think--stressing about whether I left any dishes in the sink--but my mom is such an outgoing, "people" person that she loves any kind of party, any time.

I love my sweet mom so much!
