4 April 2026 Sanford: Easter Eggs Day 1

 

Tiffany and Chris have their own little "farm."  With a goat, a pig, some turkeys, chickens, ducks and a few horses on the property the kids, Piper and Paisley, are living the rural life.  More family,  Bill and Diane as well as Maxine and Charles were also in attendance.   Then there was probably an additional 20 people all enjoying the food and the easter egg hunt.  

We passed by a horse track

28 March 2026 Sanford: Lindsay Birthday #2

 

All the families came over to Laura's house to celebrate Lindsay's birthday.  We toyed with the idea of all going to Opa but figured that we could make many of the Greek dishes ourselves and have even more fun.  The two McLane families and the Griffin family all came over and a feast was laid out for everyone to enjoy.  I took some pictures at the very beginning but as more and more folks showed up I put the camera down and enjoyed myself

A very overloaded fridge

Grape leaves

Unroll the grape leaf, lay out on a paper towel, allow to dry

Then roll up the rice stuffing and cook

27 March 2026 Sanford: Dinner with Maxine and Charles

 

Pot roast sounded good and we thought that sharing a pot roast with Maxine and Charles would be a great thing.  We invited them to dinner and they agreed.  The roast took most of the day to cook and the smell filled the entire house.  We had a great time talking with those two and having them to ourselves was quite nice.  

Please drop some tasty bits...

Dinner is ready

Smile all around

Pot roast, mushrooms and sweet pea!

All gone!

Yummy, a fine meal.
