Saturday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day, I woke early to the throb-throb-throb of passing boats. It was about 5:25am and there were three rescue boats heading towards Fish Hoek. When they got there, they just hung out in the bay.
Then I noticed Fish Hoek car park had a lot of cars in it and I realised there must be a Surf Ski event. Dozens of packs of surf skiers soon started passing by. I looked it up on line and found it was the Cape Point Challenge. There should be more activity tomorrow. It looks like a lot of hard work.
Today was a good day – we caught up with a lot of washing and Elsie, we also had a long chat with you and your Mom. You showed me all the things you had been building. You are quite the inventor. We are looking forward to seeing you in January when the whole family is here.
In the afternoon, we sat and had tea on the balcony. It is great to be able to enjoy this view again.
This evening we went to friends for a garden party and now we are home having a quiet evening. I was thinking about a few of the things I learned from the month on the ship. I don’t need so many clothes. I came home and unpacked and realised I just have too many clothes. I need to do a massive cleanout. That will take time.
Christmas a week tomorrow. Our tree is up!
Matthew 1:20-21
An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save his people from their sins.”
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
