How exciting! <br /><br />We recently had a lovely family get together for my mother-in-law's 80th.

We all loved it so much that I made it a tradition and when hubby turned 50 2 years ago, we gathered the gang all again for another beach house, and one more time last year when his younger brother turned 50. Now the first sibling is going to roll to 60 next year, so I have to decide whether to start the whole thing over again. :)LynnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100470790869740353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-26418246160938697262015-09-16T21:32:49.597+10:002015-09-16T21:32:49.597+10:00We all went on a family (and close family friends)...We all went on a family (and close family friends) get together to an island a few years back. All our expenses were paid and it was such a great time, relaxing and healing after the death of our mother a few months before.

Main reason because many of my favourite cousins and family members now live in Aus.<br /><br />Would that older daughter be Miss Drill Sargeant who is not so successfully finding a house in Auckland at present?
