100 years young

It seems everyone in our family is having birthdays...Usually from May through to August....Matt`s grand daughter turns 3 tomorrow then we have 4 bithdays in August.... My great grandmother turns 100 in 2 weeks time....A very special birthday indeed....We have 5 generations of female first born in the family.....It consists of my great grandmother, her daughter(my nana), my mother, then comes me and then last but not least Krystal (my daughter).....Girls do dominate in our family..... I haven`t seen her in sometime now as she used to live in Melbourne but has recently packed up everything and come to live here in SA.... It was a big move and everyone was worried that it might do her more harm than good but she is a tough old bugga....She bought a lovely little cottage house on the river and she is thriving....Gets out and about in her front garden....I hope i`m as healthy and fit as she is if I ever get to her age.... There is going to be a big party for her but i`m unsure if we`ll be able to make it because Matt could be in hospital around about that time....But i`m sure she will understand.... It`s quiet on the home front today....Just Daniel and hubby home and they are both having an afternoon nap....I`ve just finished doing the housework so I think i`ll sit down and watch the footy...It was a good game to watch between the Cats and Hawks last night....A bit of a thriller and the Hawks certainly gave the Cats a run for their money....I still reckon they`ll be hard to beat this year....

  1. HI Mandy, I read your stuff every time you post. I'm in the US, so some of our terms are different. What's a "footy"? Susan

  2. Hi Susan...Here in Australia we have a game which is called Football...Proper term Australian football league....The ball is oval shaped, similar to your "Grid iron" I believe....Here most of us live and breathe footy.....
