It is Grandpa's 85th birthday on May 8. In case you did not know it he was born on Mother's Day! Today I made his birthday cake - chocolate (his favorite) with cherry filling & chocolate icing. Also made some tiny cupcakes for the small fry who will be coming tomorrow. Each family is bringing something for the potluck. I made a crockpot brimming with chili con carne - a favorite dish of his. Looking forward to this event. Uncle Hu did such a unique favor - he came over and gave Grandpa a shave - we told him he should open up his own shop - especially for seniors who can't seem to get off all the whiskers! I'll post some pics  later this week. Looking forward to the celebration tomorrow. Wish you could be here.
Love to all
Grannie
