Happy Mother's Day

Cheers Mums!

Aunt Pat, Aunt Sonya, Dilly,

Aunt Sharon and Aunt Dawn

on the occasion of the official opening

of Grandpa & Grandma's

farm house at the

Fort la Reine Museum in P la P, July 2009

And a special tribute to my own mother who has

always valued a good sense of humour!

Here are just some of the great

mums that make up our family.

Kelly McKeag, Alex Wright and Colin Rees (Kelly's son)

Sonya & her daughter Livy doing a time-honoured

Mother - daughter activity; the rite of passage that is ear-piercing

Step 1: Signing the waiver. This is for REAL Liv!

Step 2: Sterilizing the lobe:

So far so good, right Liv?

Step 3: WHAT?!? THERE'S PAIN INVOLVED!

And always remember Liv, your Mum signed the

paper that gave the technician the permission to

inflict the pain upon you.

Step 4: Not so bad eh Liv?

And Mom was there by your side all along.

A Christmas (2009) gift you will have forever,

along with the knowledge that Mum's are there to protect you, always.
