the 5th blog of Christmas - my not-so-wicked step-grandmother

My mother married a man with 6 siblings. Their mother turned 80 today. It's been a long happy day full of food, drink, laughter, short heartfelt speeches, long rambling conversations. It was a wonderful gift to suddenly become part of a large and close extra family.

To cap it all off, tomorrow we put aside our party clothes and go fishing!

so great that you are getting to rest and relax the way you enjoy it. At Mary-Anns, house-sitting. She was so excited today as in Warkworth on the way to Mangawai (not sure I've spelled it right), she purchased a black bow handbag like the beige one I got. We've decided - you need to get the red on for symposium! love always
