Day out driving the coastal road in Cape Town

The value of time.


This is the time that you realise the value of time. We have to make every minute count, before we know it the girls will be all grown and standing on their own two feet. Almost done with their studies and almost twenty two years of age. It gives you that proud feeling and at the same time makes your heart ache.

Who can spot the camera shy boy hiding behind his mom.


Such a nice, warm, lovely day to spend together as a family, making memories to last a life time.
Days like this makes you wonder why we want to disagree with one another, why is the desire there to bump heads and hurt feelings. Why can't we just enjoy every second with endless joy. But life goes on and so we are back to the normal grind of things, rubbing each other the wrong way, running out of patience. We can wish can't we....

Family visit

Family visit from Melbourne and Meyerton

What a blessing to have my whole family together.
 
The photo was taken at the Kirstenbosch Gardens.

My brothers children: Daniela (12) and Lukas (8).
After seven years of not knowing them intimately, I fell in love with them all over again.
 
 It is amazing the big gap that was left with them all returning home. They are dearly missed. They had a fun filled holiday in South Africa, dragging my parents all over with them. From O R Tambo  airport to Pilanesberg, the Eastern Transvaal, from there to the airport for their flight to Cape town, to visit us, visiting the Kirstenbosh Gardens, Hugenote Monument - Franchoek, eating fish at Houtbaai and a visit to Cape Point. They also went for a couple of days to Knysna for a short visit.
