From Merrivale 26 June 1999


From Merrivale
26 June 1999

Dear Alan, Lorna & girls,

I am sitting in the kitchen waiting for Debbie (who had just arrived) & Jenny & family still to come. Jenny never came managed to get a lift here from Bergville for Regan & Ronald will take him to school tomorrow. Lionel, Jonathon, Clinton, Wesley & Garrett went camping to Shush-L hot springs near Grey Town – Debbie was not impressed so we slept there last night & spent the day here today.
We are always so busy spent 3 hours at the hospital on Friday trying to find out what’s wrong with Dad now have to see the urologist on 7th July & then will only know what’s what. Dad has made an A frame house which we are entering in a competition – I have finished it with wall paper & carpets – Dad has made a lovely dining room suite & 6 chairs & Byron has made a stove & fridge & TV. Afterwards the doll’s house goes to a children's home – I must get Debbie to video tape it, as I sold my camera to Jenny.

We have had some very very cold weather & I was just about to pack my bags & go to Durban for the winter, but it warmed up the last 3 days.

We did go to Durban to Jenna’s grandparent’s day on Wednesday & it’s so lovely & warm there.
We went with Sheila to Jenny’s last week and nearly froze to death. We had to push the car into the sun to let it thaw out before we could come home.

Neal’s boys were supposed to spend the weekend here but went off with Lionel instead.
Matthew is a real dashing & learning to talk he knows my voice when I go there says “Nana!”
Well the boys are home, bathed and ready for bed we have to take them to school tomorrow. Donavon is much better coming right at last hope it’s permanent. Must close.

                Tons of love from XXXXXXX
                Mum, Dad & family XXXXXXX
