Case (Jeff's brother), our niece Brittany, Jeff.
Jeff and I attended a family reunion on his mom's side of the family yesterday. Normally I dread this sort of thing, particularly since I didn't know most of the attendees, and I despise smalltalk. I ended up enjoying myself much more than I expected, however. The scenery at my mom-in-law's place out in the country was, as usual, spectacular. Scrumptious food. And I especially enjoyed conversations with Dick Grant, the fellow who originally inspired our trip to the Nahanni, and Michael Grant, an extremely creative sort (writer, filmmaker, has done TV work) who now owns a guesthouse in Tuscany with his wife, a professional chef. Jeff and I have been invited to visit(!). Sold a few "Sushi and High Tea" CDs, too. ;-) Speaking of new CDs, Andrea Dale is holding a release party for her new CD "Zen Cappuccino" at her place on September 20th. If you're interested in going, please let her know. Here are some pics from the Grant reunion party: 
My mom-in-law Ginny.
My niece Olivia (daughter of Case and Debbie)
on Scout, Brittany's pony, with my sister-in-law Larkin
supervising.
The kids' table (jazz band behind them).
A barn kitten recently adopted by my mom-in-law.
My sis-in-law Debbie (Case's wife) with her son Spencer.
We all had name tags identifying what part of
the family we were from. Debbie and I also had our husband's
names on our tags since we weren't direct blood relatives.
My brother-in-law Rick (Larkin's husband)
and his son Jeffrey.
