Earning my wings!

Went to buy a bird bath and ended up earning some wings - I always knew I had some Angel in me :)

Two nephews from Modimolle!

My sister and her family are still up North in Modimolle, and since I have lived in every part of South Africa and the last decade in Cape Town, her two boys grew up without their aunt :(
A birthday promise turned into an adventure and I finally got to know them a bit better.

 

And within the blink of an eye, they grew up...

Love them!!!

Dad...70 years young!

We went off to Lambert's Bay to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday. The drive there was (as usual) totally underestimated by me - I have this wanderlust which slowly (I lie, quickly) wanes after travelling about 100km. At least we were in Lola (Pietman or Blikkies tend to shake your kidneys into submission), which made the first 200km OK!

Birthday lunch at Muisbosskerm: Seafood and bubbles, and more seafood and home baked bread with moskonfyt, and waterblommetjie bredie, some sirloin steak, and some more seafood and then to round it off, koeksisters! I can highly recommend it, as long as you do adore seafood - and we do :))

The evening we had a home decorated cake, after having some more snacks and a small braai....yes, we do love eating. But the most special part was to honor this beautiful man. In a small circle we tried to do justice to a man who spend a lifetime spreading love. I have rarely met a person more gentle and peace-loving, and never mind all his other achievements, in our minds this gentle giant is a legend!

Cheers!!!

Speech!!!

Cheers - again!!!

Love...

Next to every great man....

Cake to small for 70 candles!

Honoring our hero...

Love by the sea side :)

 This video is but a second of 70 years of his life - no words can describe our love for him!
