Hi sweet girl,
Thank
you for the early morning calls (early for me but late at night at night for
you!) I love chatting to you and seeing you on a video call.
We were so
pleased for Tammy that she got the job she applied for, and she passed her
driver’s license. At the end of the month your Dad also passed his.
On 1 November you visited Disney World for a day as your
birthday treat. It looked like a beautiful day.
In November we went to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve while
you guys were getting ready for Thanks Giving in the US. You'll recognize
the One Stop and the Mugg and Bean where we always stopped for breakfast
on our way to the reserve. You\ll also
recognize the entrance to the park and the cottages.
We saw on CNN that a police officer was
wounded in a shooting at your local store, the one you walk to
regularly. Gees, keep safe my precious girl.
10 November
18 November You went to the Champs by bus and came 4th in
6A in Southern California
Really, really missed you at Christmas this
year. You got a record player with the latest Taylor Swift Album. Its amazing that they are making a comeback. In my youth that was all we had to play music
on. The earliest record player I
remember was the one in Wylie House. It
was in a case and had a handle you had to turn make the record spin. When it started to wind down the music got
slower and slower and the voices sounded like whale calls! If you wound it up too far, the voices
sounded like Chipmunks! The most popular and famous were 'His Master's Voice' players with a photo of a small dog
Alex’s loved the train set you all sent him for his
birthday!
Do you recognize the rainbow cake he had for his
birthday? Just like you had for yours
last year! We bought him a Checkers delivery bike
Greg, Sharon and Alex came to a pub night at Doone - they enjoyed the pool
We had a quiet Christmas at Greg & Sharon's. You guys were there, in the baubles on the Christmas
tree. But it isn’t the same without you.
