Mia's ouma-grootjie came to visit

Last week Wyn's ouma came to stay with us for a week.  She lives in Dealesville (very small town near Bloemfontein) in a retirement village.  We don't see her very often, and she's a very sweet lady, and we thought it would be a treat for her to come visit us, so we booked her a bus ticket.  She was super excited to come stay!

It was really special for Ouma Poppie to spend time with Mia.  We did all sorts of outings - went for lunch at our fave coffee shop, Isabella's, I took Ouma Poppie to the movies, I did a facial and manicure treatment for her, Mia had tea parties for her, and they baked cookies together.

Then on Friday she came with us to Bethlehem when we went to visit Wyn's folks, and now she'll stay there for a while to visit them, and then get a lift back home again.

    It's so easy to forget the old folk, take for granted that they will always be there. I bet ouma had such a great time, sounds like you spoiled her rotten. And she looks so young! Some facial hey.

      You're so right that we take the old folk for granted! Hehe, having a giggle at "some facial" - ;-) She is young to be a great-granny, she's around 74.
      Thanks for popping in!
