Aunt Margaret turned 80 on May 31. She is my Mom's second oldest sister. Her three children, Claudia, Hiram, and Brent, planned a surprise party in Brent's yard, near Ocala, on Saturday, June 2. Papa and I had plans to fly back from Florida that afternoon, but we extended our visit by a day so we could go to the party. Aunt Guyneth flew down from Kentucky, Uncle Norman came from Tallahassee, and Phyllis, Mom, and Aunt Margaret live near each other in Anthony, Florida. The five siblings had two other brothers and two sisters that have passed on. Lots of cousins live nearby and came to the party. It was fun to see everyone, hug, hear about trips and plans, and to eat a meal together. We loved every minute! And Aunt Margaret was surprised!
