Celebrating Eunice...


Where in the world is Eunice?  We had fun posting pictures from Mom's travels...born in Indiana, worked in Arizona during WWII, moved to South Dakota after her marriage, vacations on both coasts and many places in between, plus travel half-way around the world to visit my sister in the Philippines during her Peace Corps service, and a trip to England with Phil and me on one of our youth symphony adventures...
 And yes, that's Mom posing with the Beatles at Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London!


 It wouldn't be a family gathering without a couple of nods to our parents' long and lovely marriage...

 
including this great vintage picture I found...we were definitely a Skelgas home, and I still have Dad's work shirt to prove it!

 
 Siblings...

 
Cousins (who drove all the way from Indiana to celebrate with Mom!)

 
Almost all the grand-children (only missing three!)

and in addition to lots of pansies, one very cute Lily...

A beautiful day, a beautiful mother, and beautiful memories!
