Dad's 80th Birthday - Friday Night

The party was kicked off with a barbecue last Friday night. Jean, Jewel, Carol and Galen appeared to have a great time watching the buffet line, which was set up in the garage at my parent's house.

Uncle Cloy was kind enough to share some of his wisdom with us regarding Eric's long-overdue-for-a-haircut style. Uncle Cloy suggested a 'fro, to Eric's amazement, because that's exactly what Eric was thinking he needed. Cloy's suggestion to dye it green took him by surprise though. I thought it might be fun if Cloy dyed his hair green to match - but that idea didn't go over very well with him.
Since it's a little incriminating, we won't mention any names, but one uncle was telling my boys that he is approaching his 60th wedding anniversary, and "We've never even considered divorce, but I'll tell you what, murder was considered a time or two!"

Aunt Grace and Aunt Lela appeared to be a little reluctant to share the blackberry pies they requested. Fortunately their kind and generous nature won out. How could you deprive your great-neices who came all the way from Canada?


The blackberry desserts were definitely a hit with all of us!
