Leah Campbell Barbash

This last Sunday, my sister had her wedding shower (click here to see a slideshow my Dad put together) at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club (thank you Mrs. Spencer!). I wasn't actually invited to the shower, but I was asked to show my Great-Uncle Roy Campbell around town for the afternoon while my Great-Aunt Lily enjoyed the shower. Aunt Lily and Uncle Roy are from my Canadian side of the family, so we don't get to see them as often as we'd like. It's always a great time when we're able to see them, they're full of stories.

So we headed out to Royal Oak to visit Jim at Lily's Seafood. I try to take advantage of my brother's cooking as much as I possibly can (whether it's at his house or the restaurant). It always amazes me when I read the specials on his menu's, he's really, really talented. And not only do the recipes sound good, they taste amazing! I highly recomend stopping by and saying "Hi" if you're ever in the Royal Oak area. Try the Crab Cakes and Eggs if you're around for brunch on the weekends... Now I know you may be thinking, "Well isn't he more than a little biased?!". Maybe... But trust me, I know good food...

I had a great time with Uncle Roy (my Dad's uncle). He's a pretty interesting guy. He's got quite a history behind him. When I heard about all the things he'd done in his life, and what a hard worker he is it made me feel like a lazy bum! I can only hope to accomplish half of what he's done. I hope he had as much fun as I did, and I also hope that we get many more chances to spend time with him and Aunt Lily.

We were also able to stop by my cousin Heather's house to see her new baby (click here to see my Dad's slideshow of Leah). Her husband, Kevin, was home while she was at the shower. So Uncle Roy and I were introduced to Leah Campbell Barbash. Here's a couple of pictures from our visit. I'd say she's a keeper... Congratulations again Kevin and Heather!
