Friends visiting

Yesterday was a nice day and I did what I felt like. I had to do a few cakes of which I did and although I have not taken any pics, I will let you know that 2 were plain vanilla iced cakes for birthdays, one was a chocolate fudge cake with fudge frosting on top..... and the last one was a cream filled cake with strawberries, like a black forest gateau. Love my work at times.

While doing those cakes, my teacher who had taught me in the primary years came with her son and actually they have been family friends with our family and me and my brother have grown up together with their kids and now my brother being the best friend to her eldest son and I being a good friend to her daughter, it feels like as if I finished school yesterday.

At first they thought that they would surprise me but it's a small town and somehow the word did get around that they were visiting and so I was not surprised or shocked, although it would have been great if I could have invited the whole clan of 19 people home for dinner but then my mum and sis had already made plans and i had to stay and keep the cafe open, but I did visit them later in the day. They were visiting here with her son's, in-laws and the whole clan were at the Campsite. I went there back in the evening to visit them and although they did insist that I stay over and have 'boko boko' with them, I had to decline that offer as I had to get back to town early and had to run the cafe.

Our family and My teachers family go a long way back and we have come come along despite having our quarrels and ups and downs and finally just patching it up and getting on with life, and it would be all wrong if we threw away some 40-45 years of friendship and after all it does no one good.
Their son is a my brother's best friend, I am close to their daughter and my mum and teacher have been close friends. They were here at short notice when my dad passed away so that makes them family.
