Just over 2 weeks ago Delphiniums greeted our family as we arrived in Bundanoon to celebrate Dad's 100th birthday!!! A very special occasion and an impressive milestone!!
This auspicious occasion gave rise to 3 days of celebrating!..... On his actual birthday (Friday 14th October) the family got together at their aged care home where the facility had set aside a beautifully decorated room for us to enjoy a special afternoon tea with Dad & Mum.....
Our family....James, Megan, Linda, Vivien, Asta, Hayley with Dad & Mum
After a couple of weeks of planning, booking a venue, organising decorations, last minute items to tick off.... Hayley putting together a photo display, my sisters doing the seating plan it was all systems go for the Saturday celebration with family and friends......
Family friends travelled from Sydney, Canberra and Cooma to join us for
Dad's special birthday which was held at Dormie House (Moss Vale Golf Club).....
Festivities continued onto Sunday with a great "Sunday Roast" prepared by Megan & James (both chefs) for the family - held at the cottage we rented for the overflow for those that didn't fit at Vivien's place..... a great country venue..... 
Then it was Monday and as we began our own travels home we all reflected on what a wonderful 3 days of celebrating it had been .... Dad had enjoyed every day, wondered why he felt so tired, but as he said when asked how he felt to have reached 100, he enthusiastically replied..... "I've finished with this century and I'm ready for the next" !
Happy Stitching
Asta
What a wonderful celebration.
