Walking, Running, Chilling......

The weather on the weekend was overcast most of the time with a bit of drizzle on and off. My brother ran the famous EL ‘Surfers marathon’ for the first time and enjoyed the run, coming in at 2 hrs 8 minutes. Me, Lauren, my mom and dad(who cannot see due to a stroke) took a walk from my house to Bonza Bay Beach to support my brother running past. Lauren was jumping up and down with excitement. It took us a while to get there, but it was such fun seeing all the runners and walkers going past to finish at Nahoon beach.

Sunday, Dean treated us to lunch at the Wimpy and then we went to visit Craig and Charne’ and family. Lauren had a wonderful time running and chasing with her cousins. The sun peeked through on Sunday afternoon and it was sssssoooooo HOT. Lauren enjoyed some time cooling off in her baby swimming pool.

Happy Valentines Day!

Roses are Red, Violets are blue

It's Valentines Day, so I am wishing

all of YOU... some hugs, kisses and a

love so true.

Wedding Anniversary

Today is our Wedding Anniversary. We have been married for 9 years.
We are going to my favourite restaurant tonight (Grazias on the beach front)
Lauren always goes with for our celebration dinner. We love it that way.
I tried on my wedding dress…. didn’t fit to well, but Lauren wanted to dress
up too and look ‘beautiful’, so here we are in our outfits! Lauren used my
my train as a veil.

Birthday Celebrations!

It is my dad's (Stan) birthday today. Yippee - tea and cake at the parents house tonight!

In Memory - Fenella Heath

Our dear mother, mom-in-law and granny died a year ago today.
She is really missed and talked about often. Special occasions are not the same without her. We miss her voice, her advice, but most of all, her care and concern for her family. It makes one really sad that her grandchildren will grow older and not have their gran Heath around. Each home has a photo of her and a special something that she has made or owned that reminds us of her everyday.

Work and Home

Our house, in the middle of the street, our house…….well, as most of you know we stay in Bonza Bay in a double-story Hansel and Gretel looking house. I took some photos yesterday (a before pic), as we are going to be doing a few changes to the window frames and tiling the front patio this year. We are in the process of replacing guttering/rain pipes which will lead into a water tank – already in place on the side of the house. Our street is quite narrow and the area is quiet and has lots of trees. Pay us a visit when you are in the neighbourhood.

My work…….This is one side of the MB Plant. This is the view from my manager’s office. Because he is the Plant manager, he gets to ‘oversee’ the production areas and get a glimpse of the sea. I have to order furniture this year for some balcony meetings. I am dressed casually, as photo was taken on Friday – Friday is casual day at most places of work in EL and surrounds.

Sunset at Bonza Bay

Because we live 3 minutes walk away from the beach, we don't miss out on any opportunity to enjoy good weather. The weather in EL yesterday was perfect, sunshine with a light breeze and not too hot with overcast conditions in the late afternoon and the sea water was luke-warm.

Wedding Bells......

My cousin, Tyrone was recently married to Jo-anne in Nelspruit.

My parents and grand-mother attended their special occasion.

(Tyrone Stidworthy is my dad's sister's youngest son ; )

Family, Fun in the sun & First day

All the Heath cousins were together this weekend. Nigel and Elmarie are visiting from Johannesburg. Dale, Kayla, Erin, Jenna, Lauren, Hannah & Caleb.

Lauren attended a friend, Grace’s pool party. It was Lauren’s first day back at Playschool this morning. Hope she keeps up the keen attitude. Next year it is either Clarendon Prep or Hudson Park school for Grade 0.

New Year 2008

Happy New Year everyone! We spent Christmas day with the Heaths this year and for Old years eve, it was the 3 of us at home with a quiet supper and majority of us went to sleep by 10pm. During the holidays we went to the beach, shopping, meals at some restaurants, visiting family and friends and going to Strawberry Field. I did some spring cleaning and tried to keep up with the housework everyday! It was not a very exciting holiday for me....Next year we should go away maybe….I think.
