Happy family time...
On the east coast of South Africa lies a small town called
'Leisure Bay'.
In these crazy two weeks we were all over each other!
From top to bottom: Me, Barend (second son), Henk (Hubby), Nina (youngest), Casper (third son) and Henri (our eldest son) |
(Photo below:)
Our fearless 'Team Paraguay' wrecked havoc at the local
beach volleyball tournament!
(Our team's name was "PA--RA--GUAY"
because when this cry is wholeheartedly shouted,
it echo's for m-i-l-e-s!
If you like you could also have a look at my friend, Betty's blog.
She's a brilliant blogger from Paraguay
and it'll surely be worth a watch!
With incomparable support we marched on to seize the victory
and take home the first prize - ice-creams!
Combine the ice-cream with choc-chip cookies on the beach!!

No matter what the production rate or -capasity,
these cookies come out with a guarantee

Love my wife, my kids and my Cookies.
(Not if you're on a diet !)
Hi Ida, Love that top picture of your wonderful family... You and your hubby have 4 beautiful children...
In the second photo, I laughed at the guy holding his tongue out... One of my sons used to do that.... FUNNY.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
Mmm, daai koekies lyk heerlik! En julle strandvakansie was seker wonderlik. Jy en Henk het 'n pragtige familie. Liefde en blessings, Jo

Oh my... these cookies look delicious! I like how you use oatmeal in the recipe and I will most definitely give it a try!

I love the fact that you use oatmeal for these cookies! I really must try them! Humm...maybe this evening... They look so yummy!
I was wondering if you could help me out with something... Do you know of any churches in Africa named in St. Nicholas's honor? I really would like to include a few from your area of the world in my "St. Nicholas churches around the world" section and if you know of one...that would be great! (Photos would make it even better :) )
Thanks!
Hope you have a lovely Sunday!
Ann
Liewe Ida, jou blog is baie mooi! I love to see how your children have grown, and that even though Henk is a busy doctor, you still find the time to have fun together as a family - bless you for that!
We love you, the Hedges, the Drakensbergxxxxxxxx
