Sunday Afternoon, October 23

It was fun going to the 80th birthday party for Cerwin’s sister, Velda which was organized by their three children. Left to right: oldest daughter, Dorretta; back son Donald and his wife Gabi center front; and youngest daughter Denise. Next to her is Don and Gabi’s son Jeremy.
Velda’s birthday was at the end of September. The timing for this party revolved around the visit of Bob and Doris from Minnesota. Doris is getting food and is the youngest of the siblings.
Velda, the birthday girl, introducing her son-in-law Eric to John Rhoads (Velda’s brother-in-law).

Dorretta and Rod with their grandchildren.
Dorretta is the one who asked me to bring my camera. It was a bit of a challenge to find good lighting for pictures with the low ceiling and florescent lighting.

Happy 80th birthday, Velda. We appreciate your friendship and thank your children for honoring you with this party.
