This afternoon, we celebrated my sister Kathleen's 60th Birthday with a luncheon at Perkins on Tiedman Road in Brooklyn, OH. In addition to me and Kathleen, Bob, Tim, Lois, Joe, Maggie, Mike (Maggie's husband), Dan (SR and JR), Patty, Laura, Mandy, Paul, Amy Marie, and Emily attended. It was surely a "family affair".
It was originally a brunch, but some commitments led to the change in time. However, most of the people had breakfast items. However, Paul had a BLT, and I had a cheeseburger with Swiss Cheese, a side salad, and Coke. We all then had a delicious chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting (?) in the center which Patty made. Some people ordered ice cream, but I did not because it would have been too filling for lunchtime. In addition, Kathleen opened presents. We also sang "Happy Birthday". Dan Sr. then played his harmonica. He was disappointed that we didn't sing again. It was a nice event, although talking to all the guests was difficult in a tight space.
Towards the end of the party, Amy Marie was presented with gifts from those who brought them because she turns 3 on Memorial Day. Her party will be a scaled down affair. Any details will come from outside sources. This will be a busy week and a half, since there are two other birthdays that need to be mentioned.
Before I close, Kathleen took Bob and me to Dollar Tree on Brookpark Road in Brooklyn to buy some bottles of soda. They sell three-liter bottles for a dollar. It was crowded, but we accomplished our goal. She then took us to Honey Hut on State Road in Cleveland for ice cream, but Bob and I haven't eaten it yet because we were full (Bob had a sample of his at dinner tonight.). Frank Page's (The Founder of Honey Hut and my Godfather) son Bruce was there, so he threw some freebies in a bag for us, including the Flavor of the Day, which was blackberry. I'll let you know how the ice cream tasted in a future post. It was a day to remember.
Until my next report, enjoy a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend.
