Simon rang up on the Wednesday night to say Luke and his girlfriend Katelin would be down on Saturday and he had bought up with him that he would like to have a 21st for him...and by the Mum its at yours on Saturday night. Cheers Sonshine :-) But we got on the phone and Facebook and between us all the night was organised.
Simon organised the meat, we cooked a lamb roast, a beef roast, potato's in their jackets, had bread rolls and gravy. Others bought salads and nibbles. Kylee and Garry made the fantastic and very tasty cake.
Luke had the best time...and he is still thanking us for the wonderful time he had catching up with relatives and close friends.
We all raised our glasses to the people missing...especially his Dad
He also got to go to his Dad's resting place for a visit. Very emotional for him.. He didn't come and see his Dad whilst he was battling cancer, he couldn't cope seeing his Dad fade away.
Luke is a very sensitive soul...looks like his Dad, but so different to him though.
Its great having him around a lot more though...he will be down again this weekend too.
Well today is the start of another round of my online weight loss group. This last round I have done well...lost some weight...and put very little on.
I am loving the 5:2 way of life...
BUT I do have to stop "treating" myself with food...which I have made a bad habit of doing so.
Thats my challenge this round...starting tomorrow .. as today I have NOT been too good at all.
Using food as treats has always been a big one with me. Once you get out of the mindset though it does come easier to treat with non food things!!!
ReplyDeleteHow neat that you could host his party at the drop of a hat! Sad his Dad missed it... cancer sucks. Explain 5:2?
