The last weekend of August our parents surprised us with dinner at Texas de Brazil and an amazing symphony orchestra, calling it Faithful Daughters Appreciation Day {remember last year's?}. We forgot the camera for the orchestra so you'll just have to believe me... it was awesome! Oh, fun story: last time Vanessa and I enjoyed an orchestral event, she and my great-uncle fell asleep, I ended up with a large knot in my hair, and cousin Johnny and everyone else tried hard to quiet their chuckles. Let's just say it didn't go so well {and by the way, that was eleven years ago... just in case there were any eyebrow raises} ☺.
Our good friends from Pakistan came over for a lovely visit. Remember Ms. Farida and Simon from our New Year's party 2010? In this first picture is her youngest brother Himaya, son Simon, and other brother Akbar. In the next is Ms. Farida and her mother Mrs. D, as well as friend, Irma. I'm so sad Mr. D didn't get in the picture!
Mrs. LaTonya and her family brought Mr. Cliff's famous smoked turkey for our Labor Day celebration. I'm afraid our photographer has been rationing her shots of late, for as you can see... we have but two from that day. {sigh}
