Marg's 70th

We celebrated Marg's 70th birthday this weekend at her friend's place. It was a great afternoon with lots of food and laughter. One of her friends re-wrote the lyrics to "My favourite things" from The Sound of Music and the gathering serenaded Marg with it. To give you an idea:

" Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
walkers and handrails and new dental fitings
bundles of bric a brac tied up with string,
these are a few of Marg's favourite things"

"When the joints ache, when the hips break
when the eyes grow dim
then she remembers the great life she's had
and then she don't feel so bad."



Emma has really stretched in the last couple of weeks. Eoin is as inquisitive as ever, and really enjoyed running after and playing with the doggies at the party.
