Jan and Miekie's Journal: Another year has gone by... Part 1

Please talk to us

This journal is a record the future. But it is also my way of telling friends what’s happening in our lives – the way I would if we were visiting or if I wrote you a letter. So often people say that they enjoy the blog – but I do not even know that they read it. Won’t you please do me a favour and chat back by leaving a comment so that I at least know that you have visited: click on comments at the bottom of each post and then on sign up beneath the comment box, (they’ll ask for your e-mail address – any address will do) or if you have a Google account, just enter your I.D. and password. And then type your comment. Please…. Thanks for the trouble, but otherwise it is like drinking tea alone!

Another year has gone by... Part 1

It's July again - Another year has gone by...! I have truly been greatly blessed by an angel for a husband, a loving, supporting family, many friends, excellent health, a great job, a comfortable house etc. etc. My birthday was celebrated twice - first with our S family in Pretoria and on my real birthday with my sister and cousins at Cape Vidal.

Three beautiful cousins: Tani, Rhigardi and Corinne

Willem and Rina

Gert and Franco

Hendrik and Jan

Noella and Chris

Frans

Dorette wonders if she should try out my hula hoop.

Franco thinks it is great.

Martelize's socks matches the hoop.

"Handjies klap!" "Daarsy!"

Thank you, thank you God! Your love endures and I am humbled by it all. What am I that you should visit me? And yet you do... everyday... through the many blessings that come my way.

Jan and Miekie said...: Hi Desire
Dankie vir die goeie wense. Dit was 'n baie lekker verjaarsdag!

Hi Thea
Dankie vir die gelukwensinge. Ek het 'n paar Cape Vidal fotos - nie naastenby so kreatief soos joune nie, maar darem. Het meestal so lekker gekuier dat ek vergeet het van fotos! Danksy jou het ons darem nie, soos party ander ongelukkiges oor Piet Retief - Pongola gery nie!; July 9, 2009 at 7:09 AM

En oe, daai niggietjies is mooi...dink ek moet my ongetroude seuns bietjie oorbring.

Die kleingoed groei!; July 9, 2009 at 10:28 AM
