family ties

We had a family picture taken on the occasion of the celebration of my father's achieving 80 years of life. It wasn't the actual date of his birthday but it is the day that we celebrated with a family dinner. So the people in the photograph are the offspring of my parents.
Getting all of us in the same room hasn't happened since 2009. The party lasted 3 days with the dinner on Saturday, church on Sunday and then dinner at our place that was catered by my sister (way yummy) then on Monday there was a tour at the Warplane Heritage Museum followed by a lunch. With out of towns guests whose company I really enjoy, we had a great time.
