Celebrating 75 Years of Life...

Russell's Brother Victor, Sister Alison, Mum Erica and Russell...

Russell's Mum celebrated her 75th Birthday last Wednesday. Amazing isn't it. To have lived that long. To have seen so much. To have lived so much and so well...

I must say that I love my Mother-in-law very dearly. Many people can't say that about their in-laws but I have always had a wonderful relationship with Russell's Mum and Dad. His Dad passed on when Timothy was 1yr and 1wk old so never got to meet Joshua. That I do get sad about as he is turning into such a lovely young boy, just as his bigger brother Timothy is.

I am glad that Russell's Mum loves to spend time with the boys and that they get many chances to get to know her more. They love to have her in their lives and that I am thankful for. They are all over her when she comes and stays and she loves it as much as they do, I am sure of that.

75 Years. I am glad to have been able to celebrate it with Russell... I am glad that the family got together and celebrated something so important. We had lunch at her local Pub restaurant. It was a beautiful meal with a whole lot of beautiful people. I am so glad that we did it. I just wish that Russell's nephew and his family had of been there as well... Hopefully next time. Was lovely to catch up with Steve and Carrie as well since we had not had the opportunity to see them since their wedding...

I must say that I have always been very family orientated. Be it my blood family or in-laws. And this gathering I loved very much. Didn't want to leave but had to in the end. The facilities were excellent as well. Children were very well catered for.

Again, Happy Birthday Mum...

Cheers Damaris
