Christmas Day and SSCS

 My sister came down from Gympie to join us for Christmas Day. Her sons and grandchildren were all visiting their in-laws.

Here she is on the left with our parents in the middle.



 My son was able to take a break at lunchtime to join us. Even taxi drivers work on Christmas Day, but there wasn't much work around for him unfortunately.


We did a jigsaw and played 'Bobs'. Haven't had this game out for awhile. It's one I used to play with all my Mother's rellies at my great grandmother's home many, many years ago. Competition was serious.


 After they went home, I quietly sat and opened my SSCS present. The lovely Tonje from Norway sent me a wall hanging with a very suitable saying embroidered on it.


There were postcards picked out by her little son. He selected very good ones. There was also a Troll calendar with clever illustrations and a reflector, which will be good when out walking at night.

Thank you Chookyblue and Googy-Girl for running SSCS 2014.


We are off now to my cousin's home to catch with some of my Father's nieces and nephews.

Take care everyone,

Cheryl (aka Kayly)
