Mum returns to the U.S. of A.

It's that time of year again and once more my mum has made the trip from England to visit me here in California. She is now 87 years of age and being game enough to make the trip at that age is pretty impressive, I think.

So here we are on the night of her arrival out on the town dining at Ernesto's one of our local Mexican Restaurants. Note the Margarita - not a particularly small one - which she proceeded to consume and then professed that it was better than her usual orange juice.

I can only hope I got some of her longevity genes.
