Walk at the beach!

I used to hate walking, just for exercise! Now l love it, esp after lockdown. It used to seem like l was walking and going nowhere. Now l enjoy just walking around town and the beach with the dogs. Lots of really fresh air and also walking in the waves and watching the dogs playing in the water such special moments in life and all for free! God's creations is so wonderful!

Now time to start some new project! Wondering what?

A break!!!!

We had a short trip for a few days to visit family.  We wanted to see his sisters ages 84 and 86 and also our son and his family.

Its a long trip so took us  2 days to get to Cape Town, we have to sleep over because we dont travel at night. Really just visited family no shopping nothing. It was so special to spend time with the family! Also got to visit with elder sister whom is in old age home, for half an hour, with mask and distance! Main thing is we got to see her in person! Spent time with grandsons although they were busy too. Got to know a bit more about them! We chat over the phone but not the same! Have not seen them for 2 yrs now. Distance to far now. We live on opposite sides of South Africa! Well now back to normal and just love the cool weather here at the sea. Upington and Clanwilliam had temps of around 37*C daily!

In full bloom!

Beautiful! This is so special!

Got this flower from my daughter a few years back and flowers every year.
