Kathleen turned 60!

Grandma Kathleen and Uncle Chris visited from Brooklyn over Labor Day weekend. On Friday, Kathleen turned 60, so Steve had planned to make an extravagant dinner to celebrate. Unfortunately (or fortunately we all think after the fact) tropical storm Ernesto passed that day and we lost power for 24 hours! So dinner was in jeopardy for a while, until Steve decided that he could prepare the meat on the grill. So for hours he and Chris hoovered over the grill and our gas stove and prepared a fantastic birthday dinner.
The entire house was lighted up with candles, and together with the wonderful dinner it was a very memorable night and birthday celebration.
