Two years on

 Good morning, dear Blogger friends. Thank you for your comments and the welcome back wishes! 

As the title hints, it has been two years since I posted a birthday celebration. 

Thursday, 13 February I turned 72. Thursday midday I hold my Valley Weigh-Less meeting. I had intended to invite the eight current members to lunch at a local coffee shop afterwards. However, thinking about the various activities I'm involved in during a given week, I started inviting ladies from our Taigelates (tri-discipine exercise) class; ladies from our weekly coffee morning, ladies whom I am very close to at church along with the Weigh-Less members. The final count for lunch:  19 ladies! 

We had our weekly Weigh-Less group at the coffee shop where

a member, Barbs, is the manager

C'est Moi at the helm 

My dear friends, Steve and Estelle arranged with the Valley bakery to have

 a personalized cake made for our celebration

Fun fact about the coffee shop decor: Steve, a renowned artist, and Estelle, decorated the walls with scenes from the local township, Loskop. The wall behind the organ in the above photo, is a sheet of painted corrugated iron. The scene depicts daily life in a bustling African township.

I was thoroughly spoiled with gifts, potted plants and in two instances, cash. The latter came in handy when topping up my car's fuel tank on Friday morning. 

WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL SUNDAY!
