Thanks Shiela.
Daughter called a little while ago. They had quite a bash last night. There were 15 people and one dog. The pup was life of the party getting pets from everyone.
The party was outside around a bonfire with lots of food. Several of the relatives had made it to Minnesota 12 years ago, so there was lots of reminiscing about that.
As for us folks, if we still feel up to it, we'll be going to a local steak house. Old people sometimes just say nah, and go to bed early.
