Mum's 60th

At the start of October, Duncan and I headed down to Albany to help my mum celebrate 60 years of being on this earth. She was NOT impressed about turning 60 and was initially planning to do not very much, but yours truly convinced her she needed to party on in style and that we would help her organise the big bash. Hence, I was assigned 'decorations' as my task (Mother is getting good at delegating).

It was a fabulous night; a gathering consisting mainly of fifty and sixty-something-year-olds who danced the night away to old records. I'm surprised the neighbours didn't complain. ;)














My parents.







Speeches.



















Nan giving some of the guests a tour of her bathroom.




































My rellies.









Father and father-in-law



Cheryl, Linda and Mum.






















































Nan being the life of the party. She didn't go to bed until 1:30am!










Gary and Wendi.











Leo and Wally.








Jan, Joan and Neil






Hmmm which old record shall we play next?

Oh, by golly, a happy, happy Belated to your Mum, you did a great job with that party!! :-)

My Mum ran away for her 65th (but we found her, some 60km away - she sure WAS surprised - and happy, too!)
