California Highway Patrol Officer,Jack Rudman Resilient – So Long 2016! | Ouch!! My back hurts!!
Another year… yes, another year has come and gone. We, as a family has gone through much. But then, I’m sure you can say the same! It’s been an interesting year on the news front. Some folk will be happy… some less so! On the sports field many losses were suffered, yet the more determined competitors bounced back!
Mostly though, Ma Nature had to show her resilient side over and over again! We had a chilly spring and damp, cool summer. This affected plants and insects negatively. Yet, we had a few glorious days where Lady Serendipity and Ma Nature combined their collective forces to smother us with their beauty! Thanks to the Good God who kept us on the right side of the daisies for another year! Yes, indeed, we have much to be grateful for! I mean… we’re a resilient lot… we’ll bounce back! So… to celebrate the year that was, let me see if I can slap together a gallery to show off some of Ma Nature’s resilient streak!
PS – To prove just how resilient I can be… I’ve stumbled upon a side alley to the backdoor of the old WordPress gallery formatting…. ssssssssssshhh! I don’t want them robbing me of that path! (I’ll PM you, if you care to know!)

Ai, dankie… net so veel (en ‘n ou ekstra knippie by) lekker terug vir julle!!
Ek moet sê… dit gee vir my baie plesier as julle hier kuier en geniet wat ek opdis!! 😉
Mooi 2017 vir jou en jou familie. Ek hoop dit gaan goed by die nuwe werk en die nuwe huis, en dat die gesondheid dit hou.
PS – Ek het ook my WordPress uitgesorteer gekry, maar sal bietjie minder hier moet kuier in die eerste deel van die jaar – baie werk wat nou voorlê met inpak en uitpak. Ons het vandag gaan kyk na ons nuwe tuiste – die “finishing touches” moet nog gedoen word en ek hoop dat ek ‘n kombuis sal hê by die einde van die maand! Tsk.Gelukkig is daar ‘n pub en take away oorkant die straat.
Ek wens julle sterkte toe! ‘n Pub en takeaway?? Jy at nie drink nie en wat nie k*k kos eet nie?? Al at jy sal kry is lawaai en skoorsoekers! Jy sal maar vir daai sterk laatjie van jou moet aanhou om bouncer te speel!
Ai, ek hoop wanneer die stof sak sal julle gelukkig wees! Ek hoop die see bly naby!! Sterkte!! 😉

Die see is naby ja, so 300 meter nader as wat dit nou is 😀 😀 Ons is reg op die strandfront – hoe lekker is dit? Ek sal julle alles wys en vertel wanneer ons arriveer.
Mooi… nou het jy my alweer jaloers!! Paop vir al die Vaalpense!! Wha ha, flipping HA!!! 😉 😛 😉
Ja *sug*, maar toerisme-bevordering is ook deel van ons bedryf, dus sal ons maar moet smaail vir die Vaalies.
Altyd die Dame Diplomaat!! 😉 Lekker smaail! Hier skyn die son… die see roep!! 😀
Nou weg is jy en enjoy!
Dit was lekker… dankie!! Tone gedip!! Soos hulle sê op Fraans, of Grieks… vlokken KOUD!! 😉

Dis baie koud haha. Toemaar, een van die dae is dit weer somer en dan kan jy gaan surf.
Dankie… moenie die kreef duik vergeet nie!! 😉
Ek wens al die selfde lekker vir julle! Dankie vir ‘n amper jaar se lekker lag en gesels! Ek weet die Godsdiens loop nie sterk daai kant nie maar ek wens julle God’s seëninge toe!! 😉
