Yes, it was a biggy!
The actual day was on a Tuesday, and so on the Saturday, my darling husband and daughters arranged a family luncheon. I did not have to do a thing – it was lovely and I was spoiled. Our oldest daughter made the cake and it was a white chocolate mud cake. I love white chocolate and the cake was delicious!!

Lilian did her own make up especially for the occasion.
Even Bella, our 13 year old border collie cross, joined in the party and enjoyed some attention from our youngest daughter.
On the Monday my dear friends from quilting joined in celebrating, and we had lunch at ‘The Two Birds’ cafe. All their food is homemade on the premises – it was yummy.
Around the table L-R Vicky, Marilyn, Linda, Loretta,Shirley,Joan, Marleen & Moi.
They also spoiled me rotten.
Beautiful gifts – thank you my dear friends.
On the day of the birthday my hubby took me to the flicks and lunch. We saw ‘The Book Thief’. I enjoyed my day.
A few weeks ago I did this collage/painting spread on a piece of old card. It will be a book cover one day.

I have to finish with my cute little Lilian. This is how they come out of prep each day holding hands – very cute. (Lilian in the middle)
Until next time……………..Dianne
