What brings you Joy?

Matty asked recently "What brings you Joy?"

Here are the things that do it for me...

Family

Friends

My Boerewors

Jack White

Bargains

Chocolate

Second Chances

The smile on ma girls wee faces

Wikus' 21st at Brazillian Grill Restaurant

Wikus celebrated his 21st Birthday at the Brazillian Grill in Edenvale and I took the girls along because I knew there was going to be some Latan American dancing on display.  Turns out the dancers couldn't make it, so we had to make the party all on our own.  Mission accomplished and we had so much fun AND the food was awesome.  I've never seen so much meat served up in my life!!!  It was a sin!

The Dancing

Walk The Table

A bunch of friends got together today to move a big picnic table.

It was too big to put in a trailer and too small to hire a van.  We only had to move the table one block from one friends house to another (about 400 meters down the street). 

So, Mandy organised all the men in our circle of friends to meet at 8am this morning and help carry it down the street.  We dismantled the top and carried the bottom piece first and then a second trip did the top piece.

When we were all done, Mandy made us a lovely brunch which made it all worth while.

Thanx for everyone's help with Walking the Table!

Sunday Stuff

Yesterday we had friends over for a braai and it was lovely to have friends altogether. The girls were in the Jacuzzi most of the day and we karaoked with the Black Eyed Peas. My sister, Janie and Mick came over with Claire too, which was lovely.


Here are some of the pix
