On Friday 30 March 2007 by Dad celebrated his 70th birthday with the entire family at Gariep Dam. Everybody was there, also because they heard we had a sheep on the spit. Sanchia and I left on the Friday morning after a visit to the Licence department. Why there you may ask, well all the cars licenses expired on the 31 January 2007. He now only placed a reminder on the calendar so that he does not forget next year. We almost slept in the “Tjoekie” (Afrikaans slang for jail). We also had to stop in Westonaria for Wikus (my brother in law) as he still wanted to look at a car (A class Mercedes) that they saw in the Auto Trader. Well he bought it and of course "Mammie/Gogga" or as everybody knows her as Daleen, is very happy about that.
Daleen (my sister) & Wikus organised everything and it was very well executed. She had some helpers though. Fun was had by all and he (my dad) got so many gifts! Dad should we get the AA ?
Barend (brother in law) was the main chef for the day and I must say: “It was the best lamb on the spit ever!” He did it so well that it actually fell apart when we took it off the spit and we did not have to cut it a lot. Anton only ate meat and nothing else. You really can't take him anywhere!
Dad we know that God will continue to bless you and spare you for many more years to come!
