What a day! It was my sister's 80th Birthday yesterday. We took her out to lunch. A 5 hour round trip to where she lives from us. We had a great afternoon with family. Photo 1. Sister Elvie sitting at the table with flowers from her son & D-I-L. Photo 2. Myself, Elvie and our brother Peter. Photo 3. Brother Peter under the 80 year balloon. Peter will be the next in the family to turn 80. but that won't be for 3 1/2 years. Took this picture just in case he does not make it. LOL Shirley

Thanks Toogie. Peter will make it I am sure. Could'nt help the joke. He is very proud of his hat. It is a genuine Slim Dusty Hat. Shirley

Congratulations to your sister on turning 80. A real milestone. My Mum was 80 in January - and as she says, "It's only a number!" Hope your brother makes the 80 as well. Great shot of all of you, and it's a pity it's such a long way to travel. Maybe next time take a plane! Love Chris

Thanks Chris. No planes go there, and I wont travel by plane anymore if I can help it. Airports are too noisy for me. I am sure Peter will make. My eldest sister is 92 & 1/2 Sadly she is in a home and has dementia and does not know us anymore. Love Shirley

It was lovely. She is having a big party on Saturday night. I don't think I will make the long trip again though. We'll see. Shirley
