Lilian- My 50 years of marriage

By -
On the 9th February 2011 Ernest, my husband, and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. It is unblievable that we have reached this milestone in our lives, as it seems like yesterday that we got marrried. When I look back and think about it,it is really an achievement. The 50 years were reeally an adventure and I can still remember most of the highlights of our lives together. We got married on a Thursday as we wanted to go on honeymoon on the Union Castle Liners (we went on the Carnarvon Castle) which was a ten day boat trip to Durban, with stop overs in Port Elizabeth and East London. The boats use to leave on a Friday. This was the first time both of us went on a sea voyage. I provesd to be a poor sailor as I was sea sick most of the time. This was the beginning of our life's adventure.

My RLabs Mom's Journey

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend  people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.

Good afternoon world on a lighter note,on wednesday we took our seniors around the peninsula.Our first stop was Sea Point opposite the SABC offices. Where our seniors enjoyed a snack.thereafter we went to Hout Bay where they stretched a bit.Some of our seniors interacted with the coons.Our aunty Ellen,Vicky Jonck and Freda Davids enjoyed dancing with the coons.We then went back to Maidens Cove where we served them lunch.After lunch we served them fruit and some doughnuts and juice.We then boarded the busses at 3.05 and was taken on the beach road for some more sightseeing.when we got back to the centre,our seniors were all handed a gift before they went to their respective homes.What an awesome experience.
