yesterday I took her about an hour north to a small college (very, very Christian and conservative) only because they had an exhibit of WWII original posters.

An archivist found them sitting in a locked drawer in their original envelopes never opened in 70 + years. She found 175 and they exhibited 40 of them.

Mom really enjoyed her day, culminating with the birthday card in our mailbox when we returned home.
