Music & musings at the bay.........



On Saturday, Lauren and I went to church and later to
Pathfinders. At Pathfinders, the little kids had to run
around collecting plants and objects from nature to glue
on a piece of paper. They really enjoyed themselves.

Saturday night we sang in a Variety Concert
at the church hall. We sang the song E.e.n.s.y W.e.en.sy
Spider and H.o.w muc.h is that do.gg.y in the win.dow!
Our props were two spiders and a fluffy dog. Lauren
sang along for the spid.er song and then just barked
for the do.g song. I was fairly nervous, but it was not
supposed to be a professional show, so we did our
short little numbers and tried to look cute!

Dean left early and took Lauren home for a bath and
early to bed. She was really tired and had a full day
& night. I stayed with my parents until the end.
They had a slide show - Blast from the past..... showing
many of the older folks photos of younger days. I was
asked to submit some of my mom. This is my mom
when she was small & when she first started working
and had little me.



On Sunday morning, I met a friend for coffee at a Coffee
shop - Cafe' do Brasil, in our neighbourhood. We
had a great chat and had a lovely breakfast.

(Dean and) Lauren went for her first Spring swim at
Uncle Bryan and Aunty Terri's house with cousin Caleb
and a friend. In the afternoon Lauren spent time
playing in the garden.


I had my mom's domestic worker at home cleaning for
the day and arrived home to a nice clean house. I did
many loads of washing and had a little snooze in the late
afternoon.
It was a pleasant weekend.

Fun in the sun.......



I was on leave on Friday. I had such bad sinusitis, that
I couldn't stand to be at work and I needed to do some
shopping in preparation for our new kitchen.
On Saturday, Lauren went with Dean to Cintsa as his
two brothers & families were staying at Resort for the
weekend. They had such fun in the sun.
I went to church with my mom. In the afternoon L & I
attended Pathfinders.

Saturday evening I started feeling a little better, so we
visited my brother and Allison. She is so sweet, we just
arrived for Dean to watch the rugby on d s t v and she
puts on a full spread for supper for us.

My mom has been missing Lauren terribly. We haven't
had a chance to visit for a while, SO on Sunday I said
that they should come for a braai and I made many
salads and she brought fruit salad for desert. She spent
plenty of time with L in her room and caught up on her
grand-daughter. Dean kept my dad occupied and I did
the cleaning.

I did housework for the rest of the day & night, but felt
like I had at least achieved something when I went to
sleep on Sunday night.

Monday, I was feeling MUCH better. Sinusitis gone and
all well to go to work!!!!!!
