Aunt Helen's Birthday Party

My Aunt Helen celebrated her 85th birthday at a surprise party (and boy was she surprised!!!) thrown by her daughters at the Cock & Bull Restaurant in Peddlers Village, Lahaska, Pa. I think she had a great time, especially being surrounded by her sister (my mother) and her two brothers and other family members. It was a beautiful afternoon spent honoring a beautiful lady.

Rick, this should be used as the perfect example of how to commemorate a family occasion.
Here I am, miles away, not knowing anyone in your pictures, but enjoying the occasion.
You really know how to tell a story. Your family is lucky to have you.
Not forgetting Aunt Helen - Happy Birthday !
