The end of a fab day

Today we drove an hour each way through to Waikanae where we gathered to celebrate Travis's 90th birthday. Gosh he's dapper and smart, you wouldn't pick him for 90.

It was indeed an occasion, 4 generations - siblings, parents, grand parents, great grand parents, cousins, grand children, great grand children, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews... a grand mix from near and far.

Then it was back to Bruce and Sandra's property. My sister in law's birthday could have slipped under the radar but didn't. We celebrated amidst the wine and nibbles, and the noise of a mechanical hazel nut cracker.

Dad stayed in the quiet of the veranda while we walked the property at dusk.

A fabulous day of memories.
