Casandra 16 Mei - 25 Sept. 2010

Gone but not forgotten

I went out for a walk
It was so lovely in the sun.
Chasing the leaves, I was having so much fun.
Jumping and climbing I could have done it all day.
When I stopped to rest, I realised I had lost my way.

I love and miss you and want you to know,
it was nothing you have done.
I just got carried away with playing in the sun.
Please try not to worry too much about me.
I can look after myself, and in a way I am free.

Although I'll never stop looking for a way home,
we will never be apart.
I will always feel your love for me, deep within my heart.
It may be all we have for now, but it's enough for me.

Cause you'll never know when I'll walk through your door
and expect you to have my tea.

Casandra 16 Mei 2010

Casandra en haar 5 kleintjies het in die Strand se sentrale besigheidsgebied gebly (agter Kentucky) – hul ‘huis’ was ‘n ‘scrapyard’ van ou wasmasjiene ens. wat buite langs ‘n gebou gelê het. Azanne en Johan van PetPals het tot hulle redding gekom. Casandra is nou al 6 dae by my, en het baie definitiewe idees oor haar roetine, wat soos volg lyk: slaap die hele liewe dag en soek die donkerste stilste plekkies op (soos agter die yskas, wasmasjien, agter die kussings, onder die banke - net as ek bang is sy is weg, dan kom sy uitgesluip), kruip darem uit as ek in die aande huistoe kom om te eet, en is dan te liefdevol en skuur haar aanmekaar teen mens. So 4:00 in die oggende wil sy egter met alle geweld uit die woonstel kom ! (wat onmoontlik is, want deure en vensters word dig toegehou). Sy het al by my op die bed geslaap, en dit lyk of sy goed aanpas by mense! Sy is 'n regte hartedief!

Mabula Game Lodge 8-9 Mei 2010

Ek het 'n heerlike naweek gehad saam met my man, kind, Gerda & Karl Beukes, en Didi, Rudi en Madison-Lee! Gerda & Karl is wonderlike mense, en het ons al soveel keer uitgenooi saam na Mabula Game Lodge - dit voel al soos 'n derde huis (na ons eie huis in Pretoria en die woonstel in die Strand!) Dit was ook so lekker om weer vir Didi, Rudi en Madison na 6 maande te sien! Wildsritte, perdry, slaap, eet en lekker kuier was hoogtepunte!
