What is in a name?
Everyone recognizes himself or herself by name.
It was the custom for Afrikaner married couples to name their first son after the husband’s father and their first daughter after the wife’s mother. My granny had 7 children, 5 of them had daughters!! Therefor in my family there were 6 Aletta’s!!
This photo was taken in the early sixties, me being the youngest!
Friday Food – Fruit Cake
Each person has their own list of must have foods for Christmas. For me, one of them is a Fruit Cake.
Baking a Fruit Cake for Christmas will always bring back memories of my mom. She always baked a cake for each of our siblings.
To us Christmas is just not the same without it!

Change
Kristin Snow of DP said that:
Change is commonly defined as “to give a completely different form or appearance to; to transform.”
This may be a drawn-out process that’s difficult to capture in a single photograph, or a quick transformation that’s depicted in a snapshot. Perhaps it’s the change of seasons. A caterpillar becoming a butterfly. A shift in the weather.
Change came for me by moving to a new house, a new garden and a new town!
Taking a blog break
I will not be available on internet for a while to post or keep up with all the reading… Hopefully, when I am back I will have time to catch-up with you all!
