The Year of the Sixties

Everybody seems to be turning 60 this year. We have had 3 invitations to 60th parties so far.... and once more they are all dress up parties. This seems to be the "in" thing. It is ok with me as I am used to this dressing up having work at I C Frith. However, Tony is not so keen. Anyway we have turned 2 of them down as they will be interfering with our footy and this comes first. They were also both on the same night. The one we are going to is "the rock and roll era". So I thought Tony would make a great Elvis or Bill Haley and I could go as a "Bandstand" dancer. Of course they now have shops were you can go and hire the outfit rather then go to the trouble to make it.

I did however make Jake's Easter hat this year. Of course, it was to grand to win any prizes. Next year I will have to make sure he plays some part in the making too.

On Easter Sunday we had our normal Easter egg hunt and the Easter bunny had miraculously left some goodies in the front garden. which the children quickly found. Weather wise it was the best day of the 5 day weekend. Monday, we were not so lucky. Instead of taking Felise and Jake to the Easter Show we took them to the Moore Park Family show which is a lot smaller but better for the "littlies" Jake wasn't impressed by the dressed up ducks walking around. He thought they should have been locked in a cage. He still is uneasy around animals that are just allowed to walk around after the goat incident when we were on holiday at Nelson Bay. We managed to get some rides in, visit the baby animals, munch on some lunch and buy a couple of show bags before the rain came down. April had the highest rainfall since 1943.....before my time so I don't remember.

Due to the unpredictable weather at the moment, our Mother's Day picnic, which has now become a tradition, is not on this year. We have decided to go the Mean Fidler for lunch instead ie if we can book a table at this late stage. Otherwise we will take our chances at the Castle Hill RSL with the rest of the mob fighting for tables.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SON, DAVID TODAY.

We won,t be seeing him until Sunday as he has a heavy work load at the moment. Enjoy your Day David.
