Helmut's 70th. Birthday Party










































Helmut turned 70 on Feb. 24. 2008. I invited his sisters and brother-in-laws for a surprise party; our own family came as expected on the 23rd. for supper. Mark was unable to attend because he was suffering from an ear infection and ruptured ear drum. In the mid afternoon Waltraud called that they weren't going to make it but in the end they were able to join us.

T. was over here with us overnight on Friday. You can see him still in his pj's playing with a big box in the first two pictures. He wouldn't settle for a nap at the right time and ended up sleeping through supper so didn't get in the pictures at the table.

Asaph & Waltraud left soon after supper as she wasn't feeling all so well and Cammie & T. left then because T. woke up in a bad mood. Ruth & Andrew both went out with their respective friends.

The rest of us a had a good visit and spent time reviewing our pictures of Germany.

I'm guessing that the people to your left are Ingrid's husband, Ingrid and Hannah. Is that correct? Looks like you had a nice party.

You are correct, P.VE

I don't see a striking family resemblance but then it's more difficult comparing girls with boys and from such a distance. Dinner looks wonderful and nobody looks squished! When are you going to write me again?!
