A special birthday

Just a diary photo today as I haven’t had time to think of anything else.
A birthday meal for our friend at lunchtime today. There were 11 of us to celebrate her big day & her three children bought her a weeks cruise on the River Rhine in October. She was thrilled but the nicest part is that all three kids are going with her. The week spent with her beloved family alone is worth a fortune to us mums!
Number one son was on FaceTime from USA where he is on business watching his mum open her present.

Three good things,
1. Close families.
2. Meals out.
3. Presents.

I have a busy weekend from tomorrow. Our annual dinner dance so I will be absent until Sunday. Have a great weekend yourselves!

I love the way everyone is watching her!

[Judith Johnson]

I agree Pat, what a fabulous present! I seem to find very little time to talk to my daughter these days - always dropping off the children after our babysitting day or receiving them in a rush in the morning!
