Wednesday was Clint’s mom, Mary’s, 81st birthday … and one of the benefits of having her living here in the desert is that we actually got to spend some time with her on her birthday. After work, we took her to Copley’s … a restaurant in Palm Springs that none of us had ever been to (a bit of a risk, huh?). What was once Cary Grant’s Palm Springs estate is now a nice restaurant near downtown Palm Springs with great outdoor seating.

We had a great time there, but then went totally low-brow and had dessert at Dairy Queen … hot fudge sundaes, of course!

Here are some paparazzi shots of the birthday girl (taken from my cell phone; sorry about the poor quality) …
