Happy Birthday Emme

Today is Emmelinah's birthday, hip, hip, hooray. I remember not long ago our home circle group went down to the township of Mhluzi outside Middleburg to celebrate Emmelinah's 50th. They had pitched this small marquee tent spanning the entire street outside Emme's home. What started as a smallish party ended up having the entire neighbourhood celebrating with us whities in a black township. It was I remember a special day but today was once again special. We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Sims' home in Bryanston and Emme brought some of her lekker cupcakes. Happy Birthday Emme :-)
