Thank you angela. We're taking Mom to our "celebration" restaurant (Minverva's in Traverse City) for a good meal then stopping over to my sister's house for the birthday cake. We were thinking of getting 93 candles but the local fire department issued a restraining order so that's out.

Thanks Bill. I'll be in your neck of the woods about 2:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, but I take the western loop of the beltway around Columbus to connect with Hwy 23 heading north. I'll beep my horn as I go by.

OMG! My sister just corrected me on FB. Mom is going to be "94 years young" this Saturday. The Reverse Math Machine must be broken (more likely my memory has slipped a few cogs).

Thank you Sylvia. While she is still quite sharp, I just KNOW I'm going to get a quizzical look when I say "Ugly Hedgehog".

Michigan does have internet (I think) and you do have access to a laptop or tablet don't you? You can show her what an "Ugly Hedgehog" is and some of your work. Of course she may still wonder what went wrong raising you. Ah, it was the navy after you left home, that did it, too much salt air, bad for the brain.

Seriously, show her your work if she hasn't seen much of it before. There will be a lot for her to be proud her son did.

Unfortunately Mom suffers from macular degeneration (something she's passed on to me, although it's very early yet - but goes a long way to explaining why I try to get outside everyday and photograph Nature's beauty while I still can) - she can see blurred images only with her peripheral vision. But she's one of those women who has always been proud of her eldest son, so I'm good to go.

Sorry about the MD, my Mom had it also, not that bad, hers didn't start until she was almost 80. That is one reason my eye doctor started me on lutein and other suppliments almost 20 years ago.

Me too. I take a supplement called Preservision which has all the right stuff.
