Grandma Babs celebrated a big birthday milestone in Maryland with the whole family. The whole Malcomson family travel to Maryland for the weekend. In honor of Babs we had a huge crab feast on Sunday. We order two bushels of crabs (about 12 dozen crabs!). Everyone took a turn at the crab table, picking & eating yummy crab and drinking beer (of course!). I can happily say that I felt like a true Marylander as I sat picking crabs until the sun went down. As it turned out we ordered way more crabs than we could eat. There was no way I was letting these tasty crabs go to waste. Thanks to Nancy, my crab picking partner, we picked the rest of the crabs and put the meat in the fridge. Chuck and I had enough fresh crab meat to make and freeze 20 super large crab cakes! We'll be eating well this fall.
Babs got the very best birthday present...Charlotte said "Grandma" for the first time while she was here. Babs is an awesome grandma and you can see how much Charlotte and Babs love each other when they are together. It warms your sole. Happy Birthday Grandma Babs, we ALL love you!!
