From Spain we returned to Asheville North Carolina for a very special occasion…my mom celebrated 90 years of life!
(Thanks Terrie)
The planning started 6 months earlier with lots of text messaging and coordinating. Family gathered from all over the US for a few days of celebrating in Asheville.
Since we are so spread out: Seattle, Chicago, Nashville, Connecticut, and Asheville, we don’t see each other that often. So it was great to have an occasion to be together!
The day of the party everyone was busy getting 90 balloons, setting up table decorations, and doing sound checks.
The celebration was such a joy! About 60+ of mom and dad’s friends from Deerfield (there home) joined us. My sister had put together a beautiful video and my brother was the master MC. Even my mom’s sister in Germany and her kids sent a video singing Happy Birthday. The room was filled with laughter and tears at the stories shared. What a gift to celebrate my beautiful mom!
Oh and I almost forgot it was Madeline’s 30th birthday…born on the same day! 🤗
Two of the most amazing women in my life!
We had lots of great time to be together and hang out in the beautiful fall weather of Asheville!Wonderful memories were made!
We left for South America rested and with full hearts!
Since this will arrive on Thanksgiving we want to let you all know how grateful we are for your love and friendship!
We miss you and love you

What a great celebration. I”m sure your parents enjoyed having all the family together (and felt relieved when everyone left). 🙂 Enjoy South America! You travel lighter than I do.
