Dear Alan, Lorna & Girls,
I missed you phoning me on my birthday, but realise how busy
you are, & that you phoned 2 weeks ago.
I had a lovely birthday. All the family from around here came for supper
& a good time was had by all. &
all my friends phoned to wish me. What a mess I had to clean after 18 people
here for supper.
What a hectic weekend we’ve had. Sherry & her boyfriend Izan
decided to get engaged on Saturday night, so les & Ron rushed around &
gave her an engagement party with all of us & his family. He is a very
sensible boy (very Afrikaans) & very caring we are very fond of him &
his family are very nice too.
We went to church this morning then derbies kids came over
for the day plus Neals & Regan & Clinton so I was kept busy feeding
them & keeping an eye on them as they were playing down at the dam &
fishing (we have lots of big fish in the dam & the kids catch them over
& over again & throw them back in again). In between I had visitors
& I have baked all day to take things with me when we go to Southbroom
tomorrow to join the Hayes & the …. for 2 weeks.
Our little car has a cracked cylinder head, so that’s a non-
runner – one battles to get spares as it’s a 1968 model. The Kombi is just
ticking over so hope we make it to Southbroom tomorrow.
Aunty Phyllis has made Melissa a jersey with the Olympic
logia on it. I haven’t sent it yet but please get Melissa to write & thank
her – you can send it care of me.
We have just had to fetch Garrett from a friends as he is so
sick & we have to leave here at 6:45am tomorrow to get Regan to school.
Tons
of love from, XXXXXXXXX
Dad
& Mum, XXXXXXXXXX
