THE LATEST NEWSFROMJUDE............................

 This post has been mulling in my mind for the last 3 weeks, so perhaps it's time to write it?? We drove to Murray Bridge one afternoon to pick up my mum and bring her to Bordertown for a few days........ 


We had a very special reason for her visit, which was very hush hush as not many people knew............

There is only one way to say it.........Barry and I were married on the 9th of August, in a quiet ceremony in our local church. We did not want a fuss .......and it was just perfect for us and very meaningful. My 92 year old mum gave me away.....we had 2 good friends as witnesses, our local minister officiated, his wife took photos and another friend did the sound, playing pan flute music in the background during the ceremony.

 Here are a few photos..................














It just so happened that it was Barry's birthday that week, and we had planned a gathering to celebrate that..................and we managed to surprise a few friends there with our news........ the birthday cake turned into a wedding cake!!




We never know just where life will take us, and this is not where I expected to be in my 70's!!! 
As happy as we are, we are saddened to hear of good friends that are dealing with illnesses at present and our hearts go out to them.

Blessings,
From Jude
