Turning 60

A friend had a recent birthday.

It was the most momentous thing to happen in her life (at least for a while).
I've shared many experiences with her, and she just exudes joy whenever something special happens, and has similar emotions of sorrow and anger which I've witnessed also.

So she prepared at least 6 months for her turning 60.  Her daughters were involved and organized a party with all her children and grandchildren and various in-laws and girlfriends, and a few of her old friends.

I was happy to take part in an adult version of a children's birthday party.  But I skipped playing bingo.  And I took many of the pictures!

The grandchildren enjoyed playing around, running in circles, teasing each other, throwing things, especially the balloons.

We enjoyed a light lunch before the cupcakes...

A happy year is wished for Teresa from all her family and friends.
