Letters to my Grandchild

Darling Em, You had a busy month with Kevin and Jacks visiting with their baby Riley, school parties, and plays. The modern take on a little girl reading the baby a story - from your Doodle Pad! In February Gumpie and I celebrated 50 years of going steady!  We have been married for 48 years but have been together since 1967. You made a fabulous pirate! And just look how cool you were for this photo-shoot! Whenever you come to visit you always ask if you can visit the doggies - Dax, Josie and Peach - who belong to Delano and Jacques.  They live in the flatlet.   Josie is you favourite because she doesn't jump as much as Dax and Peach is inclined to keep to herself.  I also love Josie the best.  She is a submissive little girlie and loves to be cuddled.

Hello my darling Em, We went to your bike rally at school.  Gumpy did the boerewors rolls and Mark did the bacon and egg rolls.  There was face painting, all sorts of games where you could win lucky prizes as well as the main event - the rally.   You all had to do 25 laps around the course and you went on a push bike.  I must admit, my darling, that my heart was in my throat the whole time and every time you cam whizzing past me I just held my breath! In the end, you won a beautiful gold medal and raised nearly R700 for your school!  Well done Em! It was break-up day Friday and you were allowed to dress up, colour your hair and wear a fancy dress.  You decided to go with lipstick and blush and Mom sprayed purple and pink in your hair.  You looked like a real, grown-up lady!

Hello my darling Em, You have lots of fun at your school!  This is a photograph of the staff at your school   Cloudy 2 with a chance of meatballs.  You are peeking through the poster at the top   At Gabbie's birthday At Leah's Birthday    Self face painting with one colour only!
