Happy Birthday, Mom
We just celebrated my mother's eight-ninth birthday. We were grateful that her sister, who lives just ninety miles away, was able to be with us for the party.
After many years in which my mom and I (only child) lived far apart, in different states--starting when I went off to college--she moved to my home town six years ago. I know: She's the only retiree in American to move from Arizona to Iowa! However, now we're in the pleasant (and increasingly unusual) situation of three generations all residing within blocks of each other.
My mom is the only woman her age that I know who still is living in her own home. (It's a condo.) We're very thankful. She also drives her own car, but admits that's she's not likely to buy a new one!
