TRIPLE CELEBRATION

I'm slow at keeping up to date on my blog. so you are reading old news. A week ago it was our 56th wedding anniversary on the 10 May, Mother's Day on 11 May and Fox's 15th birthday on 13 May. So we celebrated the special days with family on Mother's Day at home. 

Bernie had bought a gift for Sonya, who is into retro homewares.


Happy mother with an old fashioned Fondu Set.

Bernie cooked a delicious fondu.

Besides traditional bread pieces to dip into the cheese we also had vegetables and fruit pieces to dip.

Fox on the right turned 15 two days later.
The Swiss boy really enjoyed it.

Carol and David sent me flowers.

  1. In about 1980 used our fondue set for the first and last time. It was similar to Sonya's, the same burnt orange. It was just too messy...well maybe we were too messy. Congratulation to you both, and to Fox.

  5. Birthdays and wedding anniversaries are important life events to celebrate, but I always think that Mother's Day (and Father's Day) are just an excuse to put 10852982549109 ads on commercial tv. Having your family around the table is a wonderful pleasure.
