November

I went down to see dad for a couple of days, while I was there I went round to Anne and Frank's and saw the progress on Frank's amazing Train set:-) It's still a work in progress!



I luv the little Car Yard! After Brother-in-law Ross





We had another 50th Celebration, this time for Anna at the Mount :-)As you can imagine there were lots of laughs and fun!
And Food!

I managed to delete the 1 of the gorgeous cake we managed to get Anna! It was like a cake back in time with bright coloured flowers!

Now another Birthday Girl but I dn't think this is a 50th!
Not that much older though eh Anne?:-)

Jen and Ruth out for lunch having a break from visiting Ross in the hospital! I was back in Masterton visiting dad and Ross after his Cardiac Arrest that gave us all a big fright! Anyway at this point he's recovering well and we're waiting for the next stage of his procedure once his Cellulitous heals!

The 3 sisters:-)

Other September /October photos

I've done it again! Somehow lost some photos so they're out of order! At the opening of the world cup there was a most amazing huge crowd! Now I'm typing in a different colour! and I have no idea how!!!!!!Down in Wellington for the weekend to go to Wearable Arts which was WOW. Wellington was prepared for the Rugby worl Cup too and had posters of the Famous Rugby players along the Waterfront.
