family ties

Hi everyone, sorry I’v been missing in action for quite some time now due to us all being sick (the virus is still not out of our systems yet, it sure is a tough strain this year!) and now we have my hubby’s mom’s 80th coming up, and they are planning this huge family re-union! Ben’s sister is flying in from Denver and his brother from the other side of the globe Oz plus the family in Cape Town and Joburg, we all going away together for a week or so to celebrate his moms 80th birthday. Now Kim’s already said I must sneak a few to keep me going as I dont know how Im going to cope with the withdrawls of not having my computer LOL!!! I will be back around the second week in June and will have lots of goodies for you once I get my feet back on the ground.

Big hugs to you all

The Longdrop

Hi Everyone,

well, guess I’m still blushing from my sister KimB’s blog today LOL!!!! Thought Id never see those pics ever again – my hubby’s never even seen any pics of me when i was younger and yep he had an ABSOLUTE blast reading Kim’s post hahahaha, now im being teased from both sides :) Gosh sis, i’v got NO pics of us from our past except these 2 you sent me awhile ago:

Untitled-1 copy

You can tell we had good dress sense LOL, (socks and shoes with a dress hehehehe) Latest fashion deva’s – beats our matching 80’s kit.  Hubby was rolling on the floor laughing when he saw those hahahaha!!

and this little one of us with ma Sheila on “Ouma’s” farm………..remember the long drop???? LOL

We went to stay at my grannies farm one weekend and back in those day’s there was still no electricity or TOILETS back then in the rural area’s– we had to sleep in this massive room they called the dormitory and out there it is pitch black at night you cannot see your hand in front of your face…………….now i don’t know about my sister but I was scared as hell LOL, everything looks spooky in candle light and when you got to go - you just got to go…………the choice of course was to sneak in the dead of the night outside and around to the back where they had this THING called a LONGDROP………………..or use a potty, at that age the last thing you want to do is use a potty so you rather brave the spooks and ghosts outside and bravely face this funny outbuilding with a hole that goes to the bottom of the earth hehehehe. I must say that if it wasn’t for Kim being with me I would have flushed myself down that whole in fright!!! Guess Camping came easy after that LOL!!! Thanks for holding my hand sis, guess you’ve never stopped doing that:) MWAH!!

You can see winters here already in Dullies, all the flowers have vanished so to keep me happy and still summery i’v done some more Commercial Use Flower Templates:
