Mom

Mom sitting on the deck at Brian's Palm Desert house.

 Brian, Mom and Luann at Elvis Presley's Honeymoon Hideaway - Palm Springs.  You'll notice that we are sitting in the exact spot that the photo of Elvis and Priscilla was taken -- back in 1962.  It was amazing how "state of the art" luxury in the 60s is really nothing much 50 years later.

 Mom sitting on one of the fun chairs at the Riveria Resort in Palm Springs.

 We celebrated mom's 85th birthday at the Riveria -- pretty nice!

 Brian, Mom and I at the Riveria -- they just spent $75 million renovating the resort. It's a really fun blend of Las Vegas, retro 50s, and modern architecture and furnishings.  The food was fabulous.
