100 years on

Here I am, getting down to the nitty gritty, the reason why I am in WA again.
I flew in from Sydney nearly 3 weeks ago, ready to celebrate Mums 100th birthday.
stopped with sister Jean and we had a lovely morning Teanwith the residents of Mums nursing home on Wednesday 20th August, A photographer from one of the local papers came and took a zillion photos and all went well. MUM GOT THE LETTER FROM THE queen, the Governor General, Tony Abbott, the rest of the local pollies so she was pretty chuffed. We gave her a couple of days to get over that and then we had an afternoon tea at the local church hall for all the family and friends and a couple of nieces and some old friends from way back etc. It was great as everyone came Except for one grandson who had to work . REALLY GOOD. I made a short speech and the eldest grandson, Brett made one too.Amazingly she took the day in her stride.  HER ROOM looked like a florists afterwards. And she has enough chocolates to last her til CHRISTMAS! ! So that was all very satisfactory. Except, I came down with the flu,  and gave it to my brother in law, sister Maxine caught it too, Genevieve mob got it also Bens mob luckily not mum. They breed them tough 100 years AGO! !
So I haven,the done much this trip, the usual at this time of the year, seen the accountant, the doctor and been sewing. But not a lot of visiting as I didn't want to spread my joy too far around. One great thing from this trip, I have renewed my limited knowledge of Mahjong, Jean plays with some ladies and I joined them a couple of times and also played at night at Jeans. So that was great.
Now you might not notice, but I have invested in another new tablet, as the old one had died. So I hope to send these out again a bit more regularly. Also I might be able to add photos again , once I get the hang of this new one.Ha! Hope this finds you all well I am back over east on Monday and back I to my travels.  Bye for now
