We were invited to a birthday party on Saturday night. Frank's Dad, Frank Sr., celebrated his birthday with a family gathering. Three generations were there. We're so lucky to have an Austin Family! And, a great family it is too. Where's Norman Rockwell when you need him?

Here's the youngest, Brandon. Yes, that's a boy. Hey! Do you think you could cut off those beautiful curls if he was yours?!



And a yummy Brazilian dinner by Carol (she lived there once). That's black beans and rice with homemade salsa and a fried egg and a dark green leafy vegetable that I can't remember the name. And a slice of mango. It was wonderful.



Here's Grandpa reading his card from granddaughter Emily.



A great evening. Thanx so much for including us Frank and Frank!

Then Sunday, we paid some attention to our own family and got Odie a haircut! Do you think he needed it? Ohhh, poor scruffy Odie.



Doesn't he look better after his PetSmart haircut? And, he feels so much better too.

Black beans and rice with homemade salsa and a fried egg. Probably a dumb question--but did Carol have any leftovers? Remember, I'll be seeing you in about 10 days and I'd even invite myself for dinner--YUMMM, sure looks G-O-O-D! (I'd even pay for the ingredients)!
