Larry's 80th birthday celebration Sat. Sept 6, 2014
Larry celebrated his 80th birthday on Sept 3rd but we had his celebration on Sat. Sept 6th at St. Paul Parish Hall with about 40 friends and family. His sister, Rowena and her husband from San Diego drove up, Mark & Dena were in Colorado helping her mother get her house ready to sell so couldn't come, and Philip is in Washington DC on his Internship but they all called to wish him well. Gary smoked the tri tips, Thomas helped grill the chicken, Emily did all the flower arrangements with big yellow beautiful sunflowers, and I got red checkered tablecloths & red napkins so it was very colorful. Julie made Aunt Gladys' potato casserole, a fresh fruit salad, and I made the four bean salad, a broccoli/kale salad, and a bing cherry and peach cobbler which we served with vanilla ice cream so we had quite a feast! We invited people to take food home, and the rest was used for a 50th birthday celebration the next day for Pastor Kou so there was NO waste! It all tasted very good!! It was very special!

Celebrated Gary's birthday Saturday in Modesto at Emily's house after we helped trim bushes, and get the yard ready to put in sprinklers. Blake, her friend, did the roto tilling, then rolled it and we shoveled up the Bermuda and other weeds that surfaced. We all got a workout! Emily barbecued delicious hamburgers, Julie made macaroni & cheese, beans and a beautiful chocolate cake! So we had a feast! Then tonight Gary chose the IHOP for his birthday dinner and we each had omelettes, and came home to the warm cherry pie I had baked this afternoon with a dip of vanilla ice cream of course. It was the quart of cherries we brought back this summer from Door County, those special cherries that are so very good - Montmorency or something like that.
