Tulsa
Our Cousin Bill celebrates his 80th birthday with a great party at their home. Here he is tidying up his office. He has a fabulous collection of guns and war memorabilia. He owns every gun that was used in battles since the Civil War.
John and Nancy each pose with Bill's wife, Susie.
The household is not complete without Alfie.
Bill's oldest son, David, and wife, Lisa, come in from Oregon for the event. They cook dinner for us - Shrimp-Cheese Grits. It was fabulous!
This is the dessert bar, with delicious birthday cake and muffins. Although it was a Reception, they had "a complete meal fare" with great shredded beef and chicken medallions to make into to sandwiches, a cheese and grape tray, pasta salad and too many dishes to remember!
The birthday cake is done in fall colors and there was white cake on either end and chocolate cake in the middle. Delicious!
Bill blows out the candles as people line up to eat. Since Bill has lived in Tulsa most of his live, he has lots of great friends!
