My Brother Ron's Birthday

We travelled to Oregon, to celebrate my brothers birthday. He turned 70 this year. We travelled through lots of thick fog and lots of Thanksgiving traffic, people returning home from Thanksgiving all through California.
   We stayed at Ron's brother Tom's home for a week. Enjoyed our stay there.
It was warm and cozy, with their wood stove blazing. There was heavy frost on the ground each morning. This was like snow and the appearance of Christmas approaching.
    We picked up the birthday boy and took him and Betty to the Hazelnut Factory in Cornelius, Oregon. It was a beautiful little store. We bought lots of Hazelnuts. There were all kinds and flavors to taste. We bought the Hazelnut Butter Cream and Jalapeno Hazelnuts. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, so we took photos of us.
  The family met at the Home Town Buffet in Beaverton, Oregon, where we all enjoyed, what ever we wanted to eat. We sang  Happy Birthday to Ron and gave him our gifts. There were 19 of us  to celebrate his 70 birthday together. I had wrote him a poem and a love letter for his Birthday. Also made him a knitted hat to keep his ears warm this cold winter. Dennis and Marianne gave him Sausage. Bryce was helping him get a new laptop.
