Never the less she was born in 1941 so that makes her 70.
When you think back to 1941 and what the world was like then it is easy to understand why many people from that era find today's world so confusing and overwhelming, they were born before television or FM radio, before penicillin or polio shots (not to mention the plethora of vaccines that is available today). They were born before computers and cellphones (never mind computers on cellphones!) before credit cards, laser beams and radar, even before the ballpoint pen!
Before dishwashers (!), tumble dryers, electric blankets and pantyhose!!
Before man walked on the moon.
They had never heard of house husbands or computer dating; dual careers or daycare; electric typewriters or artificial hearts, guys wearing earrings (let alone wearing earrings in your nose!) or... yoghurt!
Before pizza, McDonalds and instant coffee!
In those days grass was mowed, coke drunk and pot was something you cooked in.
They were born before commercial airlines and ATM's. Books were made of paper!
Wow, how things have changed! Some "older" people may feel overwhelmed but others like my mom take it all in their stride!
To celebrate this momentous occasion we had a lovely breakfast with family and friends at a lovely venue in Stellenbosch called Hudson's.
Some pictures of the day:
The beautiful venue:
The beautiful people!
And some of the wildlife right there on the farm:
