Happy Birthday, Mom!
19 11 2007Today we’re off to France! The we is Mom, Meghan, Susan, and I. We are about to leave for the Oklahoma City airport - whee!!! Sometime tomorrow morning we get to Paris, then, if all goes well, we’ll be in Avignon tomorrow night! I say that, because currently there is a public transportation strike going on in France that affects Paris Metro, RER, and the countrywide SNCF rail lines. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
On Saturday, we surprised Mom with this week-long trip… see below for the priceless look on her face!
Not the most flattering photo of me…..but does capture the pure SHOCK and AWE of my 60th birthday gift! It takes a village to get me to France, and I am still so amazed at the coordination and contributions involved in this absolutely wonderful birthday surprise! Thanks to all who pitched in, kept a secret, and please know that this was the most overwhelmingly delightful and unforgettable gift of my life………”so far”….(I watched the “Simpson’s Movie” on the return trip!)
