Nadra's 90th Birthday Party

Today we drove up to Burley WA for Nadra's 90th birthday party.  We left early so we could take the back roads all the way.  We were making such good time that we decided to stop at Costco on the way up rather than on the way home.

We got there a few minutes after two and found out Jimmy was supposed to bring Nadra at about two fifteen.  The first thing I did was get a picture of her birthday cake.

Then we did some visiting with Nadra's sister Kaye and met some of the different cousins there.

Nadra was totally surprised when we all shouted "Surprise".

The first place she headed was where the babies were, there were a total of four babies there today.

I was told everyone there was family except for one person.  There are quite a few grandkids in this picture.

This picture was taken from the other end of the room, we were going to sit at one of the center tables but Nadra's sister Linda insisted we were to sit next to Nadra at this table.  It was nice talking with Nadra and showing her some pictures of our kids, grandkids and great grandkids.

Nadra is talking with Becky, Jimmy's wife.  Jimmy and Becky organized the party.  There was a very good lunch that they had catered. 

I had Vera take a picture of Nadra and I.

This is Keith Jarvi and his granddaughter.  I met so many people today that I was a little overwhelmed to remember all the names. 

Vera then went and got this picture of Jimmy, he probably goes by Jim but Jimmy is always the way I will think of him.

This is Karl Hibbs, Kaye's son who is the president of the club I belong to up there.

We left a little early so we could be home before it got dark.  I noticed these clouds over Mt Rainier and stopped close to the flying field to take this picture.  It was a great day everything went smoothly, we had a great time at the party but it sure felt good to get home after six hours of driving.
