80th Birthday Party
My mother will be 80 the first of Oct.
I have 5 brothers and we have not all been together in over 10 years. We are scattered....both in location and in the brain department......Anyway, We are all planning to be part of whatever we decide to do.
Any ideas on what to do for this special occasion?

Concentrate mainly on your Mother and her wonderful celebration of her life.
It's her day and just seeing you all together as a family will be the greatest gift you can all give her.
Most Mother's are like that
Enjoy your time together.

Here's a few things the whole family can enjoy together...
Strip club, bungee jumping, white water rafting, just hit all the bars, mountain biking, water skiing, go to an amusement park with a lot of roller coasters, go to a hard rock concert and start a mosh pit, rock climbing, or you could do like my family and just stay home, get drunk, and start a fight...

My FIL turned 80 this past August. We weren't able to attend (800 miles away), but the family put together a DVD of various family photos through the years. It was set to music and they played it throughout his party. He LOVED it! They also had a huge sheet cake with a big "80" on it.
Many of his family, friends and former co-workers were able to attend. There was plenty of food and fun. He had a great time. He didn't want any gifts so no one brought any.
Have fun and Best Wishes to your mom!

Happy Birthday to your mom.
Dad will be 80 in mud-October and I was kind of wondering what to do for him. He doesn't need anything - and gets mad when you get him anything he doesn't need.
I guess we'll try to get all the kids in the same place at the same time, maybe take him to dinner. We took them to dinner last month for their 60th anniversary - they enjoyed that.
As I have found for folks of the depression era, simple works great.

We couldn't take Dad out for dinner for his special dates.
He really didn't like eating out.
Now, if some friends and family put some homemade food together for a potluck at someones house..... he would be the first one there
