My son and me on my 60th birthday

[Medusa]

My son took me to a wonderful upscale restaurant in Ohio (yes, we do have a few) and he asked the waiter to take this pic of us. He's feeling pretty good now and I was so happy to have him home for a week. Can't wait to see him again, though. I'm going to try to visit him in LA in a couple of months.

[Catty1]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D Looks like you had a great time!

My...Glenn certainly inherited the, er, Italian genes in the family??? My, it is WARM in here all of a sudden.... ;) :D

[Medusa]

Yes, I never realized how Italian he looked until this pic. He looks more Italian than his dad! Actually, my bday was on the 8th but he wasn't able to come home until last Monday. That week went so fast!

He gave me the book The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury as one of my gifts. It's so funny how in sync we are. I had emailed him a couple of weeks ago "Guess what I'm having for lunch? A warm chicken sandwich w/sliced tomatoes and hot chocolate. Remember?" and he wrote back "Of course I remember. The Illustrated Man." He had already ordered the book for me for my birthday unbeknownst to me.

Happy belated!! You both look MAH-Velous! :D

[phesina]

[Killearn Kitties]

What a lovely photo. I'm glad you had such a nice birthday. :D My celebrations lasted about a week too this year. I recommend it! :D

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Yummy! (and the food looks pretty tasty too ;) )

Its a lovely photo of the two of you

[Medusa]

Your son is SOOOO handsome. Is he single by any chance??? :p
Actually, he is. He's a confirmed bachelor. He was engaged once years ago and it didn't work out and ever since then he's said he doesn't believe in marriage. That may change but he's pretty firm about it. I'll tell him what you all said, though. He'll get a kick out of it.

[Medusa]

ths is ridiculous....

You are NOT 60 :D

you look fantastic and your son is so handsome


Happy birthday
Believe me, if I were going to lie about my age, that isn't the number I'd choose. I tell everyone that my son and I are the same age now. Seriously, though, thank you for the compliment. During the night, I kept waking up and saying to myself "Oh man, I'm 60". LOL

[chocolatepuppy]

What a nice picture of the two of you! You do not look 60 Mary and you look great. Your son is very handsome. I'll bet you were so happy to see him. :)

[Medusa]

I just looked at our pic again. It appears as though I have something between my teeth. Lovely. Oh well, I hit the big 60, I guess I'm allowed.

[Laura's Babies]

Warning!! My dear old Mom use to say "The ONLY thing that don't hurt when you get old is the gray hair!".

Happy Birthday!!! Yea, you have a mighty handsome son, bet those women are linned up at his door trying to get his attention.

[kimlovescats]

What a wonderful picture! You are such a pretty lady and what a handsome son you have! I'm so glad he is feeling better now and that you all had a nice visit!!!

Hugs,
Kim

[jazzcat]

[lvpets2002]

[finn's mom]

You are both incredibly attractive, goodness! Those smiles are tremendous. Looks like a great way to spend your birthday!

[KYS]

WOW! I can't believe you turned 60 years old.
You must have some fantastic young looking genes running in your family line.
Nice looking son too. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Catty1]

Do you think Glenn will still appreciate all the nice get-well notes we wrote when he sees what some of us are saying NOW??? :D

Mary, you do look great! Wishing you and your son many more wonderful visits!

[gini]

Mary, a Happy Belated Birthday to you. What a great picture of the two of you.

Your son must drive the girls nuts - he is so handsome! And a confirmed bachelor:D

When you come to California I would love to meet you both.

[Daisy and Delilah]

What a great looking pair you two are!! Lovely picture. Looking at you, Mom, I can see where he gets his good looks!!
Happy Birthday!! You look terrific! 60?? Nah :eek:

[Medusa]

Jeez, thanx, everyone. He'll love all the compliments, believe me. Living in LA where looks are of paramount importance, especially in his field, he has to be sure to stay in shape. I've always thought he was handsome but then I'm his mom. I've only had one child and I guess I did it right, eh? He'll be 41 next month.

[pitc9]

I just looked at our pic again. It appears as though I have something between my teeth. Lovely. Oh well, I hit the big 60, I guess I'm allowed.

I didn't even see it when I went back to look again!

You look GREAT and I have to agree... Your son is HOT!!

[moosmom]

Mary,

I'm a confirmed bachlorette too, so have him call me. He'd make a great friend!! :D

BTW, not bad for an old broad (just kidding, you look fantastic!!) ;)

[Cincy'sMom]

Happy Birthday Mary!!! Looks like you had a great time with your son!

I've either been married too long, or not long enough. Not that your son isn't nice looking...but I'm more interested in where he took you to dinner...always looking for new places to try and Cleveland isn't that far away :D

Actually, the restaurant is in Canton and I'm sure you probably have one near you. It's called 91 and the food is excellent!

[Cincy'sMom]

I've never heard of it, but will keep in in mind next time we head east

[Kirsten]

Now I'm getting hungry! LOL :D

Happy Birthday! :)

I can't believe you turned 60, you really don't look it! And your son looks very nice! :)

Kirsten

It used to be called Woodfire Oven 91, now it's just 91. They have an excellent menu.

[Medusa]

Now I'm getting hungry! LOL :D

Happy Birthday! :)

I can't believe you turned 60, you really don't look it! And your son looks very nice! :)

Kirsten
Yep, me, too. I cooked up a storm for him while he was here because he had been so ill and I wanted to be sure to fatten him up. His favorite is my homemade spaghetti sauce, so we had that, of course. He also loves baked tilapia, so I had that waiting for him when he arrived w/wild rice and a garden salad. The next night we fondued filet mignon, chicken breast and shrimp w/oven roasted potatoes, peppers and onions and garlic bread. I also made him roasted chicken w/stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, asparagus w/garlic and toasted pine nuts and a garden salad. Plus he loves steak sandwiches w/melted cheese and tomatoes. (Ok, now I'm REALLY hungry!) He said I spoiled him and that he didn't want to cook for himself when he got home, so I made it easy for him and got him a gift card to Trader Joe's, his favorite store, as a house warming gift for his new apartment. I really miss that boy!

[Kirsten]

Oh, now I'm getting even more hungry!!!

But I'm sorry to hear your son was so ill, so he really deserved all these good things. Hope he's feeling better now, but I'm sure he does after you spoilt him so much! :)

Kirsten

[Medusa]

Kirsten
Oh yes, he's back to normal now, thank goodness. It was a scary time for both of us, more so for him of course, but he's doing great, thanx, Kirsten.

[jennielynn1970]

I'm so sorry this is late!!! Happy Birthday, Mary!!! Looks like you had a lovely dinner with your son (the food looks yummy!), and your son is definitely a handsome guy!

Ok, I'm coming to your place for dinner!

[Medusa]

Ok, I'm coming to your place for dinner!
C'mon over! Cooking and entertaining friends are two of my favorite things. I love it!

[Marigold2]

What a lovely picture. There is so much kindness and warmth in both your eyes. One can see a true heart. You are both lovely inside and out.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Man now Im hungry and I just ate! You two look great :D Im glad he could come home for a visit especially after being so ill.
Happy belated birthday, heres to another 60 years! ;)

[Marigold2]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 60 IS THE NEW 30


Sorry this is late. :(

[Medusa]

So many of you have apologized for being late wishing me a happy birthday but, actually, most of you already did on my actual birthday; I guess you just forgot that you did. I posted the pic of my son and me late because he wasn't able to make it home on the actual day, so we celebrated a couple of weeks later. A good friend of mine took me to see The King and I on Friday night because our schedules were so different from each other's, so we've always made it a practice to celebrate our birthday months. Anyhow, I'll take the double blessings, thank you, friends!

[RedHedd]

You're both beautiful! Looks like a wonderful dinner too. Happy Birthday!

[shepgirl]

Happy Belated Birthday Medussa. I really did miss the real date, sorry about that.
If that's what you look like when you turn 60 then I can't wait.
You look absolutely fantastic and I have a hard time believing you're 60.
Your outfit is smashing, colour suits you so well.
Your son is also very handsome and I'm glad he is looking so good and doing well.

[carole]

Happy belated birthday Mary, i must tell you your'e son is a real hottie, he obviously get's his good look's from his mother, i hope you had a wonderful day, and what a nice way to spend the day. :)

[rg_girlca]

I hope I look that good when I turn 60. :)
Happy Belated Birthday Mary. :)
I bet it made you feel so good to see how well your son was looking after his illness. To hear him on the phone saying he is doing better is nothing, compared to actually seeing for yourself in person that he is.
I'm so happy that he was able to come down.
Those beautiful smiles on your faces says it all. :D
