Saturday Bill, Emily and I drove up to visit Doreen’s sister Susie and her family in Ocean Park, Washington. Actually it was not a bad 2-hour drive along the coast and it was a beautiful sunny day.
Susie made sure that both of her girls (Adele and Alissa) were in attendance at her place along with little Larry, Adele’s little one.
Larry was the great entertainment for the day. Susie fixed us all a nice lunch of hamburgers and yummy potato salad. We left in the late afternoon for the drive home, stopping at Pig-n-Pancake in Astoria for dinner along the way.
In the last few weeks we celebrated both Ginger’s and Gretchen’s birthdays. The celebrations both started out with a “Saturday before” tea party at our house with all the girls present.
Then on the actual birthday days we celebrated with the rest of the family and of course, cakes.
For Ginger’s Birthday, Mauricio, Ginger, Bill and I went out to the Tillamook Cheese factory for a lunch and ice cream. We returned to the house to have the cake complete with candles.
For Gretchen’s Birthday, Doug and Gretchen joined Bill and I at the Blue Heron for lunch. In the evening we all enjoyed dinner at the Brill’s home – again followed by the essential cake.
Now we have a few months to wait for the next birthday which will be Mauricio’s in April.
