My Mother's Birthday-

My mother's birthday was last week.  Her Birthday is 9-11. She now says "they ruined my birthday".
I told her she should do what Peggy does.  Peggy has changed her birthday to Pirate Day (a day in September which changes every year).  
My mother does not like to have her picture taken.  There are very few photos of my mother.  I found an envelope in her garage with pictures of her.  Have I mentioned that my dad was a photographer?
Here is a photo of my mom and dad on their wedding day in 1950, San Francisco.

When she finished college, my mother came to San Francisco in 1948 and lived with her aunt and uncle.   Since my mother hates her picture taken, and most of the pictures are either ripped up or look like this:

 ah ah I found one that she didn't scribble on... guess she's about 25/26 here.

it's the 50's all the way

 then she had kids:

and this one is 1972

this is in 2006 at our wedding

and this was this month at Kieri's wedding.

I'm sad to see by pictures how old she looks.
But then she just turned 84 years.  and still going strong.
