90 Luftballons

99 luftballons was a catchy one hit wonder and it came to mind when I saw Elsie sitting in her special chair to celebrate her 90th birthday.  She is with two of her great granddaughters.  Because of the restrictions on international travel her daughter in Melbourne couldn't attend.  Her other three daughters were there and two grandaughters.   Earlier in the morning she had her first Zoom with her other grandchildren and great grandchildren  who are in London, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.  Now we are in level two it was possible to go out to lunch to Forsters Restaurant at Moutere Hills Vineyard.  We sat at outside tables and enjoyed stunning food in the warm sunshine. The restaurant was fully booked and it is good to see people supporting a local business.  Happy Birthday Elsie.
