Another 60th Celebration

This past weekend Tom's cousin Rodger turned the big 60!!!  We headed down to Carlisle on Friday to give Terry a hand with the preparations for the party she had planned for Saturday.   Rodger's sister (also named Terry) and her husband Doug had already arrived when we got there and had their Airstream all set up and ready for the weekend.  Shopping was on the agenda and I headed off with the two Terry's into Burlington to take care of business.

Saturday was the big day and there must have been about 50 people show up.  Lots to eat, lots of visiting to be done.

We had some of Rodger and Terry's grandkids helping shuck the corn for dinner.  Fresh corn picked that morning just a few miles away.

 Tom's Aunt Joyce is 85 years young and still going strong.  His cousin Terry R is likely explaining who all the little ones belong to.  There were a number of them.

 Rodger with two of his Grands getting ready to blow out the candles.  

Rodger and Terry opening some of the many cards and gifts he received.  So much for "best wishes only".  That never works.  

It was a nice evening.  They were so pleased to have their kids, grandkids, lots of relatives and friends in attendance.  Rodger is well liked and respected in his community and it shows.

After dinner on Sunday we headed for home. 

A quick stop along highway 6 for diesel and a look at the field of sunflowers.  I have never seen a whole field of sunflowers before and this was pretty spectacular.

A few days to do laundry and get packed for camping with the Hollinger's coming up later this week.  Looking forward to seeing them and getting those kayaks back in the water.

Until next time - safe travels.
