Anna, Mackinnon, Will Roth & me - Extended family

From North Carolina to Northern California we got together to share memories, create new ones, and celebrate the fortune of a big family, long life, and Aunt Nancy's bithday. Annabelle Roth took this shot, D. "Grango" Mackinnon would have been proud!

Nancy's party March 13, 2008

There were people from all over and many ages but all were singing happy birthday without any discernable accent. Stories may be told in later days about the grownup and retired folks when the younger ones become such themselves. So the pictures might be worth revisiting.

The party committee relaxes at the end

Having planned, traveled, rallied, and celebrated, the team takes five.

Family is soo much fun

Annabelle and her Aunt pose for the camera, mid party March 13, 2008. Then later relax by the fireplace. There are many good things to eat in the house, and many people to meet and talk to. Annabelle and Anna seem to enjoy them best when they enjoy them together. Ted sits with his mother and Annabelle with her aunt as the party winds down to a relaxing finish,

Oblivious to the swirl of elders

Ted has small parachuting little green plastic soldiers to manage

How about it, Ted?

It will seem like a blink of an eye and you'll celebrate yours, too!

Sandy and Anna

Sandy poses with Anna as the night is young and the party is happening. Sandy was on Dick and Nancy's first date in '62, doubling up with another young man. Guess it worked out!
