Another year is nearly over 2023..........And we are reflecting on a few things that happened in our lives.
On 27 November coming, we will be celebrating 52 years of marriage. That day in 1971 we had quite a terrible hailstorm - for what it's worth. We owned a 1968 Chrysler Baracuda for which we paid R1800.00 or R68.00 monthly. We went on honeymoon to Amanzimtoti for 7 days staying in "Happy Days" holiday flats.
I was the eldest of a family of 12 children, 5 from the same father and mother, 6 from the same father but a different mother and one was the second mother's son when she married our Father. We all grew up as one happy family in different time zones. The youngest of the 12 was born after my own first child. The third eldest (a daughter has since passed on)
On 14 October 1972, our first son was born - Two more children, another son 5 years later and a daughter another 5 years later make up the initial family. Today the family consists of 3 children, 9 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.......all in good health and prospering......
We have a saying we live by: "Growing old gracefully".
We live in a Retirement home in the Featherbrooke Hills Retirement Village on the northern slopes of the Roodekrans Ridge in Krugersdorp.............
( still drafting.....to continued)
