Happy Father's Day!

Ok, I know it's late but happy father's day to Dad, Poppa, Uncle Kerry, Uncle Doug, and Uncle Graham! We had lunch with Nanna & Poppa, Dean, Mum & Dad (the other 2 had to work-bummer!) and it was lovely! We almost had a REALLY good lunch as Mum poured everyone, including N & P, a glass of de-alcoholised wine...except it wasn't de-alcoholised! We realised after a few minutes! We were THIS close to seeing Nanna & Poppa sloshed!! Could've been quite a day!

Poppa was quite rapped (is that how you spell it in this context? Maybe one of the teachers out there can tell me!) with his present from Mum & Dad of a model tractor...and of course it sparked much conversation about this and that model of tractors going back about 40 yrs and was it a totally true replication etc etc...most riveting conversation for the men at the table anyway! Poppa told us the story of how his father died in a tractor accident and showed us how after that, all tractors were made with covers over the battery as a safety precaution - something that would've saved our great-poppa's life back then.

Nanna also reminisced with an article she's found in the paper about the sale of the old boothville hospital (at least I think that's what it's called). All her little babies were born there and she was actually able to point out on the pic which rooms she had stayed in! I told her she should buy it then she could actually show us around!
