(if by chance you don’t like OPRAH or can really give two hoots about reading this very long story…you should stop reading now ;)

This all started a very long time ago when I knew I wanted to do something special for my mom, who is turning 60 this December. When my dad turned 60, I threw him a large surprise party with friends from the past & present and of course his family. It was a HIT and he loved it!

(Penny, my dear aunt, lost her battle to IBC – Inflammatory Breast Cancer, at TOO young of an age, leaving a sister, 2 sons, 1 niece (me), grand children, children in-laws, and too many more to mention).
