Lyle's Birthday

Last Wednesday, June 25th was my brother, Lyle's 68th birthday.

Now for ten days he will be only two years younger than I instead of three. (smile)


We drove into Traverse City and joined him for a cookout.

Lyle's wife, Kathy cooked up some ribs and we pigged out on ribs, beans, brats, potato salad & slaw.

I even gave him a card, albeit the same card that he gave me last year, so it didn't cost me anything.
(I just love recycling).

Besides Lyle & Kathy, their two daughters, Laurie & Julie were in attendance and their three grandsons (Laurie's sons) Jonah, Ben, & Adam.
Laurie's husband, Eric was out of town on business.
Oh well...too bad Eric, more ribs for the rest of us.

Here Lyle enjoys some time with 2 1/2 year old Adam.
