10th September 1916

This was when my nan was born, 90 years ago!



And so I made a trip to Adelaide to help her celebrate. I wish I had taken a big group photo because there are too many individual photos to post of nan with all her friends and family! She had a great day with lots of laughs and tears. Dad put together a great little short movie of her life. Nan viewed the movie a few days earlier, as m&d thought it would bring up many emotions that she might not want with all the people were around on the day of the premier. And it did, especially when the pics of her late husband, grandad George appeared. It showed nan as a young lady in the Land Army of England. She was posted on my grandads farm during this time, so this is how they met!


Chris and Scott gave nan this stereo so she can listen to her books on tape. She was so happy and kept going into her room to look at it! Cute!


Then he started getting cheeky and demanding birthday kisses


Mum made so much deliciousness! Mmmm, I can taste the creamerishious scones.....


My little second cousins, Elijah and Ethan, were so cute. They built this 'trap', which was covered in grass so you wouldn't see it, in the back yard. Also they had a pine cone hunt. First they collected pine cones, then they hid them, then they search the back yard for the cones they hid! So cute!


Mum and I even made a trip to the desert town of Whyalla so nan could celebrate with all of her friends there. I did manage to get a group shot there! They are a very caring group of people and nan loves their company.


It was great catching up with everyone. Especially, hanging out with Scott and Lynda for a night of fun filled Star Wars trivial pursuit. As expected Scott completely dominated, being the hard core Star Wars fan that he is. The excitement of the game even sent Jess into labour!


I really miss spending time with Jess and Leanne (><) You are so beautiful and vibrant. I'll really miss being with you two and watching your little ones grow up... I'm coming back in a few weeks time and I can't wait!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
