Happy Birthday, Ethel!
Ethel on her birthday, 8 November 1969
88 years old!
What a beautiful, gracious lady.
I'm sure that her daughter, (my grandma) La Ree, made the cake. She was an excellent cake decorator.

A Day at the Dunes!
23 April 1969
Ethel Barratt and her daughter, La Ree Fraser at the sand dunes in Utah. I love that they wore dresses no matter what. That's just what ladies did then.

A Barratt Thanksgiving!
The table was set with the fine linens, china and crystal. The aroma from dinner was wonderful! Ethel Hamilton Barratt (my great grandmother) and her daughters, Vera Barratt Gustavson and LaRee Barratt Fraser (my grandmother) were the cooks. They were known for their expertise in the kitchen.
Their families arrived, as well as the families of their two brothers, Dale Barratt and Jack Barratt. Everyone was dressed in their best - dresses, white shirts and ties.
My mom, Connie and my dad, Lynn Barratt Fraser, were newly weds, so Connie had never attended a Barratt Thanksgiving before. The dinner was delicious and when it was done, the plates were cleared and the dessert was brought it. Homemade cream puffs! Connie remembers that everyone was eyeing everyone else and she wondered what was going on. Then all of a sudden, cream puffs began flying across the table and a food fight was on! People in their best dress were now covered in whipped cream!
After the fun, the mess was cleaned up. A new batch of cream puffs were brought in, which were then
eaten and enjoyed by all!
