Well, we finally got together with the kids ( some of them, anyway) and celebrated Gabbo's birthday! (Gabbo=Grand dad) Only Tina and Alli were able to make it from up here.
We all met at Tam, Terry and Zach's house ( Orlando) about 1:00 today! They had a most delicious lunch waiting for us! We had 2 kinds of chicken wings, stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, chicken salad, fresh veggies and a really good sour cream dip for them....ummm... and some very tasty rolls! Everything was just perfect!
Zach and Alli, best friends and best cousins, hung out in Zach's room with his guitars and his collectibles!
Zach is into music and cameras in a big way! His latest music interest is Rick Wakeman of the progressive Rock band of the 70s- 'YES.' He had 2 LPs he had bought...He told me I should look up 'Wakeman' on Youtube... I plan to do that soon! Yes- I DO like the 'Yes' music that I have heard...but don't have any of Wakeman's solo work! Something new to explore! :) Thanks, Zach!
Zach's cool cat~ Mittens~ was here, too!
Here we are doing the birthday thing! Gabbo got some good things! That pretty plant was from the Orlando kids and the fancy Thermometer was the gift from Tina and Alli. All the other things were from me!...lol-All those T-shirts and those house slippers were much needed...the book is one of his favorite writers! (ok- MINE too!!) LOL- and the water lilies for the fish pond are from me, too! He got gifts from Chris (books and movies) early , because of our delayed celebration. He had a happy belated B'day today!
Our Chit-Chat around the table is always lively! :)
Another good day!
Gabbo was happy!
And - Me too!
Love,

You guys sure know how to have fun; my goodness, birthday, chili cookoff!! I love it when our family gets together, it just doesn't happen often enough anymore. When we do, though, there's LOTS of laughter! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the pictures!!
Sally,
ReplyDeleteNothing more fun than family times. Our whole family are not often together either- We DID have everyone at Christmas!
