special 80th birthday....



Jose and Micah were asked to help blow out the candles...



our dear Nanny celebrated her 80th happy birthday this week....she is frail now, with papery delicate skin .... but with such capable hands, she knits, crotchets, sets her fire everynight, chops kindling, cooks for her neighbours when they are poorly, grows the most amazing hollyhocks, chillean guavas and french beans.... she is woman who has raised 4 children, rocked many grandchildren, and now has great grandchildren to sit on her knee; buried 2 loved husbands and trailed the rocky road of life. I admire her so. Happy 80th Birthday Nanny...we are so glad we could celebrate it with you.
