Mariko Comes To Visit

When my cousins daughter Mariko visited in early September we all gathered to welcome her.

  It was a fun time for all the family to be together. Nancy made tacos and everyone brought lots of good dishes to add to the mexican themed dinner.

Cousin Ann's corn and jicama salad was a big hit

 Then the electricity went out...

 Nancy started lighting candles

 It was exciting and in the end rather special

Three yummy desserts: Jocelyn's chocolate cake, Nancy's flan and Ann's apricot ice cream were perfect endings to a wonderful dinner.
