all grown up 14 yrs old and another GOLFER



Now here is a young lady better known as the HURRICANE , well she will definitely be blowing in a storm with the young lads, and what will dad say when they knock on the front door. Tessy and Mitch are so proud of this one, that it will take some beating. 14 years old or should that be young.


Now its not so good, another good man bits the dust, JP joins those other people who don't know how to work, Golf - the gods must be crazy, but it is amazing that we now have a few of these aliens in the family, Mitch, Molly, Franky, the two Paul's, Adrian, Shaun, and Allan has tried it, maybe a few others,......... shame BLESS them .... nothing else to say.

Anybody for a hair-cut. COME DOWN_UNDER

Wow !! is there anything I wont try to do - even trying to cut the poor ears off, who happen to have to listen to the gramophone needle. Lots of luv to you all from TESSY & MITCH.

And those woman with bald husbands moan - WHY
At least he is not crying out in pain.
They say the only thing between a good or a bad hair-cut is 2 weeks, it all grows back and needs cutting again. They also say if you wash your hair in Klippies & Coke it comes out "CUT"

Grandies or Cousins or is that Both

Can you believe this...I called them cousins first then realized NO, Debbie is Katherine and Nicholas's cousin. So now we have these three beauties...Kayla, Kate, Tamryn! Kayla and Tamryn are my grandies and Kate is my niece

Then more confusion when Nicholas comes on the scene. He is my nephew, not Kayla and Tamryn's cousin. This is beginning to sound likeone of those riddles...if John has four brothers and two sisters and Johns father is not the sisters fathers mothers who is the Uncle!! Get my drift.
Monica and I sat up till nearly 1am chatting away about family, we laughed and laughed and when we started to laugh and cry I thought right it's now bedtime for us, it was only then we realized it was almost 1am. What a great time we had and so much we squeezed into an afternoon, an evening and a morning before the Baart's left and arrived home safely.

Then we have these plans..........................................
Next weekend Paul and I are off to Johannesburg to stay with The Ritchie's as Paul is going to the Boat Show. I will take some photographs there for the blog. We will go on the Saturday and head home early Sunday morning. Then the last weekend of August. Debbie is taking me up to Jhb to stay with the Ritchie's and we will get together with the Baart's on either Saturday or Sunday...Debbie and Monica are organizing that and then Monday I fly off to Australia.

Now who says life is boring??

23 days to go until all the Kleenex in the world will be needed.My Special Sis - MY best friend will arrive here for a 1 month stay or should I say the most wonderful and lifetime experience of all.I have watched the family Blog and seen Tricia, Franky, Molly, Monica, and Billy also photos of Carol and Franky so between you all you have somehow got to see each other.So now it's my turn and I count the days till Carol arrives and nothing is going to get in my way, or stop me, from holding my arms out for the biggest HUG, any of you will ever see, on her arrival here at Coolangatta Airport on the Gold Coast. SO WATCH for photos and stories that will be cherished for all my days.

Love to all

Tessy
