Nic, Sue,Bluebird and Sunshine....

We had the pleasure of having Nic and Sue Black stay with us for saturday night this past weekend. They were travelling back to CT froma holiday in the Drakensberg. We stayed up late having a great chat which was wonderful. They joined us for church in the morning before heading off to Knysna on the next leg of their trip.
Before they arrived we went shopping with the Thompson's for a bookcase. They were supposed to be our consultants as they are antique shop experts with Den even admitting that Kim's Antiques is his favorite shop in EL! Anyway they ended up buying more furniture than us. We stuck to our plan of 1 big bookcase. They ended up buying a set of bedside cupboards, a kitchen unit, a dustbin and a butter dish.

They have also recently inherited a blue budgie name Bluebird by their daughter Ruth. It is not right for a bird to live alone..so Tess and I bought Bluebird a friend who is yellow. Ruth tried to name her, wait for it....Yellowbird, but Tess got in there first and she has been named Sunshine. So Bluebird and Sunshine are getting on fine and there it is.
