Joyeux Anniversaire
Today would have been my Father, George Summerfield's 71st Birthday. He died when Lulu was just a baby in 1996, so she doesn't remember him and Deke was born in 1998. It is important to me that my children know about there Grandfather, so I honor his Birthday every year by making his favorite food and listening to his favorite music. Lucky for us, he was a huge Francophile so I will make a French feast!

I want to celebrate it, too! Yum.
Very sweet, Linda! I'm sure he's delighted! xoxo
Sounds like a grand meal. Happy birthday, and enjoy a wonderful meal with your family. It's very sweet to honor him in that way.
Thanks for including us in remembering your dad...and look at that fab food...I know First Hand what a good cook you are...or was that MR. L.C.?
Great way to commemorate him! I try to tell stories all the time to keep the memories vivid.
Funny that through your blog I found out that those pianos are at Schiermonnikoog, which is in our small country too, thanks!
What a special way to honor your father and keep his memory alive for your children. I'm new to your blog. Your pictures are wonderful!!

Happy Birthday to your Dad! I had an unusual experience about a year ago that undeniably proved to my husband and I that are loved ones are still here with us in some ways. I think they join in on the celebrations so I am sure he enjoyed his special French Feast. What a lovely way to remember and celebrate someone.
I am wondering if that is Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon or is it a family recipe of yours? It all looks delicious, and a wonderful tradition.
What a way to celebrate him--clearly the man had TASTE!
What a great tradition to remember him.
Those photos have me salivating!
What a clever way to celebrate your dad. It's so hard to lose a loved one....I lost my dad in 2003. He was to young to go and it's tough when that time of year or his birthday comes around. I think this year I may do exactly this type of celebrate. That is DEFINITELY something he would have loved!
