Grandson Nathaniel and his partner Sarah drove from Charlotte to be with us for a couple of days. Nearly all my photos include food. I realized that it’s natural to take pictures when everyone is together. We began by eating barbecue sandwiches at Butts on the Creek. Lise and I took turns taking photos.
There were many lighthearted moments, none more amusing than Nathaniel putting the corner of the package of chocolate chips on his nose.
It took all afternoon for the baking, cooling, making the icing, and frosting the cake. He, Lise and Sarah posed with the finished cake.
We had a snack on the porch where Lise had lighted candles on the railing. David was at work, so we didn’t cut the cake until after midnight.
Hours later we had waffles for breakfast, again on the porch. They left before noon in order to get back to Charlotte for Nathaniel to go to work. We crammed as much visiting in as we could and enjoyed being together.
