Throwback Thursday : highlights of 1982
Thursdays are coming around rather quickly lately !!! Time for photos from way-back-when 😉
My son Carl was given a kitty for his 7th birthday !! One of his little school friends came to his party with a kitten on her shoulder … a birthday present!! A bit of a cheek actually .. but little kitty stayed. The following year she had 5 gorgeous kittens of her own .. we kept one and gave the others away to good homes. Whiskey was about 20 when she died .. a good age! Here she is with Jeanette a few weeks after her surprise arrival into our home .. and hearts
In this year, we had our swimming pool built ….
This is what it looks like now …
Giggles and laughter: My Mum and Dad travelled down from Rhodesia/Zimbabwe to spend Christmas with us. Much hilarity when, one evening, they were showing Jeanette how to measure parts of the body ie circumference of neck = measurement between thumb and middle finger … length of foot = length of forearm etc 🙂

Such fantastic memories! That pic of Jeanette with the grandparents is priceless!
Ha, what an interesting birthday present
LOL that last one made me smile 🙂 that was a good evening
Some days I wish we had a big pool like this and some days, like in winter, I’m glad we don’t. The last pic is very special. Always great to have pics like that.
Larger pools were ‘in’ in those days. Now, we also wish it was smaller, but the kiddies love the space for swimming and playing
