A Celebration of Years

road trip

Just got back from a weekend in Fresno celebrating Gordon's, my brother-in-law, 70th birthday. There has to be a good reason to visit Fresno and I would say that this was a good one. Over 250 people celebrated Octoberfest style.

My sister-in-law, Trudy, is from Germany and she is used to cooking great food for masses of people. She outdid herself with the 6 foot long German chocolate cake. Of course, the beer and wine were flowing but it was so hot that cold bottled water was the drink of choice until the sun went down. And oh my, when it did, the beer and the dancing kicked in full gear.

Gordon has his black belt in karate, and three other black belters from his dojo along with his instructor conducted a demonstration in his honor for his birthday present. Hmm, if he can do what they did, I think I'll let Gordon win our next heated political discussion.
