For Milo

Jane said to me, while we were on Face Time, that she was coming home with Milo, Ed and Ivy sometime soon.  It's a beautiful holiday, they decided to go to see New Zealand this month. We had a family get together to welcome them at Melanie's place in Melbourne.  Now they are holidaying in New Zealand, and of course, they love to visit Traralgon to spend time with us.  It is exciting to see Milo and be able to hold him, he is two years old and three months.

I know that Milo loves his food and he loves eating.  For the family gathering, I contributed a few dishes that maybe he would like to try.  The dishes were resoles (Javanese cooking), brioche and cheese pie.

Melanie hosted the luncheon last Saturday successfully. She put on a big spread, a lot of beautiful food, I loved the pizza with Gorgonzola cheese topping, it's so delicious.
But the best ones were the drinks, from fruit juice, lemonade, beer, to fine wine and Chandon Champagne.  His aunt Susan brought the most gorgeous and delicious salad with Middle Eastern flavours and a platter of fresh fruits.  Milo enjoyed the chocolate cake which was baked by Mary Rose, but most of all he loved and enjoyed the company.

Thanks to Lance, Mel, Susan and Tristan.  And the most important one is thanks to Mary Rose, our first granddaughter who looked after Milo so well, and also took care of the younger ones with kindness.  The five grandkids got on and played well together.

Next month he will be with us for a view day, it is time to catch up, to get to know him better.  I am looking forward to it.

Have fun holidays Milo, with mama, papa and Ivy and see you all soon.

Until next post
