Grandma’s 80th Birthday
My grandma, Mavis Hamel, will turn 80 years-old on June 4th. What a great reason to celebrate! My mom hosted a family brunch on Saturday and all of the local Hamel clan was able to attend. I think everyone had a good time. My boys are always excited to see Noah, my cousin Danielle’s 3 year old. All of their cousins are older and spread out across Oregon, so Noah is a real treat.
I tried out another excellent recipe from the What Can I Bring? cookbook by Anne Bryn. Tomato Pie was delicious and will be a great addition to my cooking arsenal when the tomatoes in my garden overwhelm me. I’m thinking it could easily be a zucchini pie as well.
And, of course, I took photos. I’m really happy with the photos of Grandma and various members of the family. I even snuck into one for the group shot. Thank goodness for timers. We had a little technical difficulty with my new remote control so we had to use the 10 second timer. Next time we’ll have the remote ready to roll so I don’t have to run back and forth. However, I do recommend going back to check the photo in the viewer at least once to make sure you can see everyone and that you like where you are in the photo. I’d love to be tucked away in the back next time 🙂
