Family, food and birthday brownies!

We had a birthday luncheon today for my son, John, who turned 21 last week. My brother and his family came over to spend a little time with him before he goes back to school tonight. So we had a little food . . . O.K. we had a lot of food - including enough potato salad to feed a small army . . .

Some family stories and photos were shared . . .

There's my nephew, Kevin, sporting his newly acquired sling for a torn ligament . . .

And birthday brownies! John doesn't like cake, poor thing, so I baked him some brownies instead.

The "21" flag was a last minute inspiration carried out with a little help from Visio and a wooden skewer.

The lovely dessert stand was a Christmas present from my friend, Julie, and has elevated this homey dessert to new heights . . . (hee, hee, hee!)

See those rabbits on the shelf in the background? I've moved them all over the house trying to keep them out of camera shot until it gets closer to Easter, but the darn rabbits won't stay hidden! Today, I think they just couldn't resist the veggies . . .
