My Mom's 80th Birthday: a request...

Also posted on the Whistle board…

June 19th will be my Mom’s 80th Birthday.
She’s really an amazing lady: still drives, maintains her own home, is very active in her Synagogue and community etc, etc. At her ripe young age she also has a pretty active life online-- she just got a DSL connection 'cause dialup was too slow for her. No moss growing on this babe!
Due to a family wedding in early July, we decided to have her big birthday bash in May. Tons of friends and family were there, and my neice and her boyfriend made a wonderful mini-documentary about my Mom.

That’s my Mom and sister Judy (sorry guys, she’s taken… :stuck_out_tongue: )

After the party and about a month elapsing, I don’t want my Mom’s actual Birthday to be too anticlimactic. So here’s the favor: if you feel so moved, could you send my Mom a Birthday e-card on JUNE 19th? Send it now with a delayed delivery if it’s easier to remember. Her name is Eleanor, better known as Ellie, and her e-mail is IMARYMA@aol.com .
One of her satisfactions in life is the kind things people have said about my whistles. Every Jewish mother needs a chance to kvell (swell with pride). This would mean a lot to her. Thanks!

PS-- if you’d rather stuff her snail mail, e-mail me at brewerpaul@aol.com and I’ll send her info.

I think she deserves a postcard instead of an e-card, at least one from each continent (antarctica can be hard but you never know).

Postcards are cool. I could do one from England if you wanted.

Paul, you might want to encode your mom’s email (and your own) rather than posting them in plain form - email addresses that are posted online are often harvested by spam programs. Even just writing it as username at a o l DOT com is usually enough to confuse the bots while still getting the information across.

My grandma just had her 90th birthday party last week, and as a fellow June baby I got to help blow out the candles :smiley:

Just curious, how did it turn out?

All the best,

My Mom got quite a few electronic cards, and several paper ones and she was very thrilled with all of them. She’s very proud of my whistlemaking, and was excited to hear from so many people that I’ve befriended around the world. Many thanks to all who responded.
