Last night we had so many special celebrations :these are just a few.
The Nieuwoudt’s enjoyed a romantic 25th anniversary dinner. ( also old Godfather guests, ) Juan Pieterse and his wife had their 14th anniversary dinner, and 4 of the 5 Steenkamp ladies were here for Annelies 50th birthday. They had seen the post about Steve’s sole and couldn’t find it on the menu, but it is absolutely available on our “ off the menu” items.
While chatting to them, it was apparent that there were so many similarities: Mrs Steenkamp has 4 daughters ( I am one of 4 daughters), she has 8 grandchildren, ( my mom had 8 grandchildren)
Of which 6 are boys and 2 are girls, the joy of her life( well guess what! My mom had 6 grandsons and 2 granddaughters 😱) . It was just so amazing. Then I said my mom was blessed to have 4 amazing sons in law and even loved her “son- outlaw ” (ex son- in-law, for those who don’t understand our lingo.) Yip! exactly ! I know, so bizarre.
I asked who was missing and they said sister #3! In my family that is me. So looks like I might have been a placeholder, doesn’t it. Hopefully we meet sister #3 at the next visit.
That’s what happens when I speak to people.
