So 2011 is a big year in our house. Su's mother Pam turned 80. Her Birthday was on Tuesday however we threw a party on Saturday afternoon down at the local hall with 55 of Pam's and Su's friends. With the current hot and humid weather we were thankful for the hall's Air Conditioning. Now I can remember my grandmother always saying she would be happy to get to 3 score years and 10 which of course was 70. So Pam to get to 80 is a mighty achievement and she now has her sights set on 90 just to get that special badge from Bowls. She has one for 80, a Kookaburra, not sure of the significance but a worthy achievement. In fact since moving to Australia Pam has really improved in health and no doubt helped by the weather and her varied activities. My nephews Ben & Jarred played Cello and Violin to keep the guests entertained. I did minimal cooking we heated party pies, small quiches and spring rolls. I then served a mince Chow Mien in noodle boxes. To finish off we had a selection of cakes from the Cheesecake Shop, then tea and coffee. A good afternoon was had by all and Pam thanked everyone for coming.
