Barb's Fiftieth

Barb can cherish a special day. It began early with breakfast in bed. Next it was off to the beach to get sand. Then it involved finding Peter who had just arrived on the ship from Melbourne. Then there were more presents and cards followed by a DVD of Barb's life that Donna had edited to perfection.

Neverland had a bit of a 'makeover'. The push mower could be heard during the afternoon. The table was set to perfection.

We all had to dress up in a formal fashion. John kindly loaned out ties. We sat down to a very exotic meal which included freshly cooked prawns. The birthday cake was a recipe with almond flour and boiled oranges (get your head around that one). We had champagne and wine.

Later we had the official viewing of Barb's life on DVD, and Barb spoke to us from her heart about what each of us meant for her. It was a small fiftieth as fiftieths go with just six of us, and that is why we are posting it on our blog site so that it can be shared. After all, Neverland is a pretty out of the way place. You family members who could not be there, thank you for your calls. You have been in our thoughts.
