Springtime soon........

Winter is officially over! However, the weather doesn’t
show it. The wind was gusting and then it was raining

while the sun was shining. Dean and Lauren have a photo

every year in front of the ‘Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow’

tree in full bloom, since Lauren was a baby. Lauren’s

friend Amber (our sister-in-law Terri’s brother’s daughter)

turned 5 this weekend. Lauren and I had another photo

session with some old fashioned clothes and lipstick. Girls

mostly enjoy dressing-up and putting on a little make-up.

Our little girl could play dress-up all day. She does get a bit

tired when the photo sessions go on too long. Tomorrow is

Spring, let’s hope for good weather soon.

Show & tell on the weekend......

This weekend was one of relaxing, tea with a friend and

attending a tribute to N.e.i.l D.i.a.m.o.n.d show, performed

by C.e.n.t.r.e S.t.a.g.e at the G.u.i.l.d T.h.e.a.t.r.e. My two

sister-in-laws, Terri-anne & Charne’, and I decided at the

last minute to go and our dear husbands so kindly got

together for a curry evening on Saturday night and looked

after all the children. The show was great and the performances

were very professional.

Winter sunset.........

Yesterday it was 29 degrees in EL with hot dry winds,

so we decided to head to the beach after we arrived

home from work and playschool.

Winter sunsets are often dramatic. There was no wind

when the sun was setting and the river looked like glass.

Lauren enjoyed the time running on the sand and

putting her feet in the shallow waves.

My Birthday.......

Today was my special day. Lauren was sick last night,

so we had a difficult time with her and a high temperature

all night. I was feeling a little old when I woke up this

morning. Dean and Lauren gave me Noa perfume with

a delicious nougat.

I had my parents, gran, brother and Allison around for

tea and cake this afternoon. I had planned a garden

tea party, but the weather was sunny with a sneaky

cool breeze. So we rather sat inside on this winters

day.

I received plenty of messages and phone calls & felt

really special.
