Big birthday bash for one of my nephews today at my place

[Guest guest]

So, the nephew and his brother and mother and friends all gathered atmy place for the party today, 11/20/2011. We had roast chicken withstuffing (I did the chicken and the stuffing), and others brought Key Lime Pie (yet!), a fantastic fruit salad, sweet potatoes, steamed, whole--and miscellaneous vegetables. I goofed and forgot to make the gravy!We all had a wonderful time. This apartment (with its beautiful view) was jammed, but we all managed and "the boys" all helped out a lot--for which I was very grateful. My friend, Edna (who has MS and who takes the infamous "jaunts"with me was present, and her sons, too. Thanks to my deceasedcousin, Ursula Sherman, I do have a large dining table with foldingleaves and lots

of chairs. We each got to sit down.Young people are the joy of my life. The only persons missing werethe nephew's brother's wife and baby, who were at home as the babyhad appeared ill earlier in the day, but was just fine when Daddy gothome! We really whooped it up. I am not sure if I can tolerate this andthe coming Thanksgiving, too!Love to you all, and let us hope for kind and good relatives andwonderful friends--"the family of choice!"n
