Easter with the family this weekend... it's an annual Egg Hunt that my cousin's wife does every year. This year more than thirty kids and their parents showed up. They live up in the country, some land and animals...lots of fun.

Thank you lord for helping us cope with the sugar downs after...

that is sooooo much sugar!

and it is very strange to see easter with snow... I am used to hot sunny days. in the Western Cape people swear it always rains, but I have not really paid that much attention because I am always working over that time,(it did rain this weekend Happiness!). but where I grew up, it was warm, chocolate melted before it could be eaten.

hahahah, it IS a lot of snow :lol: ... Kandy (wife of my cousin who organizes all this) is up for hours the nights before ( and us the night just before) putting sweets into hollowed plastic toy eggs. Gums, lollipops, caramels, chocolates...

I'm glad you got to see some snow Theuns!

oh I still have not actually seen snow... I meant seeing the snow in your video and knowing it is easter that is being celebrated...

we were lucky to have some snow left for this April... they have great winding roads, and my nephew Jake is at a great age, he just loves to kick stuff around...

Here's a picture of me taken way back, well, 'bout a hundred years ago when I was a Ranger. Fortunately, immortality has it's perks and I look much the same to this day, minus the duds and the silver star. Oh, I still have the badge, I just don't sport it any more.

Great pic, Joogie, happy your profile is working now, what a great way to introduce yourself to the community here... and happy to see you've got some blue skies instead of the nasty blizzards we've been having here in Montreal

I cannot imagine the frustration of having a superbly engineered sports-car that is just begging to be driven within its limits and the added angst of enduring the need for speed on a day with inclement weather. Perhaps it is best that I neither find out nor even so much as inspect the driver's seat of a Ferrari for its comfort.

These photos are from my cousins wedding that was in September. 

It was held close between the sun and hell... just kidding. but even for South Africa, it is an Area that is NEVER cold. Pretty close to the Border between South Africa and Botswana, in a direct line, just more than 50km..

Strawberry with a strawberry chocolate buttercream icing.

Vanilla with a dark chocolate buttercream icing.

Theuns, these are just absolutely brilliant pix! Thanks for sharing, and the great story telling that comes with all of this.  Weddings have got to be one of the most amazing times around for family, and I was lucky enough to make it down to my Bro's wedding down in Mexico this summer...what a grand time! The clothing, weather, light...just like in your own photos... of course I must ask is...is there anyone in your family who isn't blonde?

Yes. My dad's side of the family Mostly has dark hair, pitch black for most of the men, the Ladies, one aunt had blonde hair, the other two had brown - light brown. 2 of my cousins has blonde hair, they are brother and sister. 

on my moms side... pretty evenly spread between blonde and dark hair. Both her brothers had black hair that has become grey. and a few cousins has blonde hair. My one female cousin has beautiful long blonde hair, soft as silk

(Wow these are large uploads!)
I thought I'd share a few pics of me albeit a couple years old now. But seeing as how my clan-da member picture thread is 8-10 years old, I'd rather post some more current pictures!

I do miss restaurant work...but when i think about those hours... all of a sudden Im perhaps not so unhappy anymore
