I’m in New York. For this:
My mother had no idea that I’d be in town, let alone here to help throw her a surprise 60th birthday party. Details to come.
SURPRISE!

Surprises are so much fun! I love the way it your mom a bit to really realize you were there. Good show!

Fun! I love how she was really really surprised.
Having read stories about your family gatherings, I can only assume how much fun ensued after this. Questions: did anyone need a fire extinguisher at any point, and did any neighbors call the police?
