Labor Day at the farm

We went to Dominic's folks over Labor Day for Joe's surprise 80th birthday party. Surprise, it was! Sort of. The first clue was when everyone in the family started showing up unannounced. Then, how do you explain tables and chairs for 150+ people set up on the lawn? And why has Celestine been cleaning so thoroughly for the past few weeks? Regardless of the level of surprise, Joe was tickled and couldn't stop talking about the party. A good time was had by all. Here are a few pictures.
