Family Birthday Party


We had our annual get together for our birthdays on August 29th.  Mom hosted and Tom & Julie, Connie & Lucy (Ben didn't make it), and Katherine and I attended.  We did pot luck type deal.  We brought pulled pork (using our one and only onion as seasoning!), cole-slaw (using a young head of cabbage that had split - very nice - very crunchy!), sandwich rolls, and some seltzer for the drinks.  Tom and Julie brought fruit salad, baked beans and some peanuts.  Connie brought black eyed pea salad (very good), an some homemade sweet pickles.  Mom had some chicken and some grape juice for drinks,  I am sure there were other things I forgot about - there's always too much food!

Here are some random pictures:

Getting the feast ready.  We all focused on cooler "picnic" type of foods - it was in the high 80's that day.
