All things considered, 2014 was a bit rough! Elections, goodbyes and people close to me going through hard times (not dwelling, just saying). I felt as if I was still dealing with May’s issues when the first decorations went up for Christmas. Nearly missed the whole thing. Fortunately, that is just the occasion the last minute was designed for. So we not only had one, but two very stunning Christmas dinners. The first with Pieter and Jeané , and the second with Ouma, Nic and Alta … of course with all living-in family members and special extras in attendance. Good fun, laughter and companionship. Which is the point of any celebration or feast or special day you wish to celebrate, I suppose. Salut! And just so that it's clear - the food was awesome … thanks to everyone for the various contributions!
