First, Mum's 80th party went off so went. PTL We managed to keep it a secret and all 50 of the guests I invited came and waited quietly as she approached the cafe. She loved it! It was a full weekend with her cutting into 3 cakes, family party (she knew about), surprise party and the church through morning tea with another cake.
Plus as a family we almost looked healthy and functional which was really nice. I'll post some photo's from it.
When Mum thought it was all over I had a hot rod organised for her as she said years earlier if she ever made it to 80years old she wanted to go down the road in a noiser vehicle. So she did.
Now that's all over, I feel a little flat and I need to wait till we can avoid a fancy flash for Jay's new camera and for him to take his first wedding shot's before we can post our services as wedding planner/photographer. Probably end of October.
Also need to wait till we move to get next phase started with asian students boarding and small child care. That will probably be January. So in the meantime I continue to care for my two boys (Jay and Joshua) and get more into the church here and all Joshua's weekly events with other kids. This saturday I'm off with other Mums on a mystery bus tour. So looking forward to it. Mum's only and Jay gets to care for Joshua all afternoon.
Can't wait for spring. Tired of cold days and battling colds. Bring on the warm weather....
Bye for now...
