Rob's Birthday

My Aunt's husband, Robert, celebrated his birthday on Saturday, September 5.  Their daughter Liz was in town as their special guest. We always look forward to their parties because of their beautiful home, the food, plus the funtimes with cousins, aunts and uncles.  Surprise, surprise:  B-I-L Chris, a Realtor from Oregon, was also in town (on his way to Ohio to visit his dad and brother). It was very good to see him and to catch up on  news from the Left Coast.  Speaking of the Liberal Left, Chris may soon be working for the Conservative Right as a Host of  his own local, radio talk-show running from 3 to 6 pm.  Stay tuned.
