We are Family

Yesterday was a special day in our family.  It was 5 years to the day since we lost our beloved mother and we gathered together to remember her in our hearts.
 What better way then to eat some of the delicious foods from our past.   I made her infamous "grandma's potato salad" and got the recipe  just right!

It was "bring your own meat" for the grill and a potluck dish.  Everyone brought their best and there was plenty for all.

We also celebrated the special guests who were in town for a visit-  Danny, all the way from Cambodia and Uncle Lowell from Kansas City, Mo.

Cheesy potatoes, sour kraut, sausage, beans, etc.
