Happy Birthday Grandma!

This week was my mum's birthday and today my sisters and their gang came over to celebrate. Mum is here for a couple of days before heading down to the USA to visit her cousin. I made a couple of big pots of homemade soup. Turkey vegetable and cream of broccoli and cheese. Carol and Sheila brought over buns meat and cheese. What a yummy feast, all followed up by Strawberry shortcake for dessert. Keith brought home boquets of flowers for both mum and I.
Here are a few photos of our trip to Stanley Park a couple of weeks ago. This is the drive along English Bay. I love these old trolley buses.
Always loads of cyclists along the seawall.
The swans on Lost Lagoon were posing.
And do you see on the duck pond this new hairy breed of duck?

Happy Birthday dear Grandma from us here in Malta. I hope you had a wonderful day and wish you a nice time down in the US.

It's nice to catch up with your lovely family.

Happy belated Birthday to Grandma! That was a big party and nice food too :-)
I enjoyed the photos and the story, the swan is great and the dogduck is very special. Sorry Susan, "Smilebox" didn't work as I expected. The photos didn't appear at all. Reason for me to remove that thing from my PC. Happy Easter for you, Keith and the whole family.
