Rochester... let the feeding frenzy begin...

Well, we saw some more beautiful country side on the way into Rochester.  We were really looking forward to seeing (and for me, meeting) all the cousins.  Larry, Debbie and Mike are coming from Los Angeles, and the cousins have lots for us to do, especially eating!

Thursday, First stop, Don's Original for a ground round and white hot!

 

 

Now mind you this was a late lunch on our way to cousin Diane and Keith's beautiful lake side home for dinner.  The next day we all were invited to cousin Frances' house for lunch. 

 



 

Cousin Frannie laid out a beautiful lunch of lasagna, meatballs, sausage, corn, and pie and cookies for dessert.  Here's Debbie ready with the wine!

Of course, here I am in the kitchen helping with the sauce...

Lunch is served...

 After lunch, we headed over to Uncle Frank's for a visit.  He is now 93 years old, doesn't take any medications, and smokes cigars daily, "3 or 4 depending on if there's a good ball game on".  It was a great first day of family stories and talking.

Later on, we joined up with Tim and Sharon back at Diane & Keith's house, is that more food?
