Mum 78
The main reason for visiting Brisbane this month was her Mum's birthday, and it was celebrated in grand style with three of her five kids able to be there: Peter from Brisbane, Barb from Melbourne and Madonna from Tasmania. Nice memories.
Visiting Dawn
While in Brisbane, Barb and her Mum visited Aunty Dawn and parts of her family. It was important to keep up this contact as the years slide quickly by and before we realise it has been years not seeing them. Dawn is settled in a comfortable unit with plenty of old photo collections to enjoy and reflect on. Spot the cucumber.

Visiting Miro & Miriam
When we were first engaged we used to visit these wonderful people who would simply overfeed us on every visit with all manner of rich food. On her recent week in Brisbane, Barb took her Mum to visit Miro and Miriam to reacquaint after so many lost years. It was a very special visit to a very beautiful family.
Extra Pics
These pictures were found on Barb's phone, taken inbetween the others posted earlier. It seemed a shame not to post these as well.

Piper's Tenth
Our oldest grandchild has turned ten! We weren't able to be with her on the day so we made it special for her the day following Jet's. Piper had requested a locket and chain and Barb was able to find one for her. There now remains the task of making two very small pictures of Bec and Gord because she wants pictures of her mum and dad in the locket.

Jethro's Fifth
Our youngest grandson is now five! and very articulate in naming how he wished to celebrate his birthday when he stayed for two nights with his siblings. There had to certainly be a mini golf game so we made sure of that. The rest of the daylong party just happened as it came.
