80 Years Old

The point of the Utah trip was to celebrate and commemorate the 80 year old, and to party. We had family, friends, food and fun.

Before things started, the picture book of Grandpa's descendents was given to him. He really liked it. It was and will be a treasure.

Tables were set with mints, nuts, cups and miniature sports cars.

Help in the kitchen, including my Aunt Marie, in white, who was my co-conspirator on this event.

Greeting family and friends.

Lloyd and Ralph.

Fred and life long friend Enos. (As a kid I remember "Let's get in the car, we are going to Enos and Gertie's. That always sounded funny to me. His late wife was named Gertrude.)

Lloyd, Ralph and June. June still has plenty interesting things to say.

Lloyd and wife Marie. (So much thanks to them and their family for making this party happen!)

And food of course. Also, two cakes - a chocolate with frosting and a white with chocolate frosting.

Here is the gang. Ralph, June, Marie, Lloyd, Marie, Don, Enos and Fred.

And now we say good-bye.

Keith and Gayle - cousins.

Clean-up took about five minutes with everyone helping.

This was such a great chance to see the family again. I hope we get to do it again soon with even more there.
