The Combined Birthday Party

The idea was to combined all the family birthdays for July and August
thus saving everyone the need to go to individual parties, which gets
to be a pain after awhile.

So the cake had all our names on it, Gloria, Ross, Kirsten, Connor,
Keith and Talhia.

Well as I have already said Ross who is 34 HAD to have a night out
with meal for his birthday. Kirsten wanted Cliff and myself to drive
up to Yallourn Nth to see her on her birthday and say "Happy Birthday."
Yet Kath and Kirsten were at the shop when I was at the Health Center
and couldn't wait just ten minutes to see me AND IT WAS HER BIRTHAY so
why should we be put out!!! and take nearly two hours out of our day
and travel nearly 30kms to see her!!!

As it turned out Talhia had a dance at school and it was her first
disco dance so she refused to come to the party as she wanted to go to
the dance.

Then Donald also bought a cake for Connor's birthday and asked us to
come around after the club for a slice of cake and it had cost me $48
for the 14 X 14 inch cake for all of us!

Other than that all went well. Donald won a $50 voucher on Safeway,
John won a $30 voucher on Manny's Market, Ross won a meat5 tray and
Cliff won a $40 voucher on The Deli in Church St. Kath, Meg and Mick
and Lena missed out. It has been4 months since Lena won, 3 months
since Kath won and 2 months since Meg won.

So all up not a bad night. Kirsten was to come back with us but ended
up going to a friend's house.
