Hi All
Thanks for the birthday greetings. Your present from yesteryear is being continued and giving great pleasure especially when exotic events like cricket, tennis, rugby, NRL, AFL, and racing appear; not found on free to air.

On Monday, to celebrate the combined birthdays, my sisters, Margaret and Marie brought a sumptuos baked turkey dinner  complete with creamed cauliflower, baked vegatables, cranberry sauce, gravy and topped off with delicious cheesecake and ice cream. Ron joined us for the day to make it a real family treat.

I had prepared a stick for each of the girls from photos pre slide days and about 200 slides in which each appeared. I plugged it into the TV creating  great excitement, hilarity, and "that was a great day" and "is that really me" moments. I enclose samples:(the photos should appear here -not above). Kate and I have been trying to get the pictures where they should go - she is having more success than me.
Christmas: I like the idea of buying for each other as we have been doing over the years; you may have other preferences. Anne and Kate will both be here in two weeks so they can organise the draw with Mum if that is the way you want to go. Let us know your preference.
The new system of blogging had me confused but thanks to Katie's help I've managed this contribution.
School holidays are on us again so there will be many contrbutions over the next few weeks - photos please.
Love to All
