Making Picture-Perfect Memories for life
Myriad memories frozen in time
I can not believe how time flies. This is my last post for my 52 week challenge. Don’t worry I will not stop with my Inspirational photo’s now. I still have thousands of photo’s that I have not even touched. Look out for your inspirational photo a day starting from tomorrow….
On Saturday I took Aran for an outing to my favorite place, Joostenberg Bistro on the R304. Lian came with and they enjoyed themselves. Some more of this outing at later date….

On Friday 8 March 2013 the South African Guide Dog Association had a Boerewors Roll sale at Sanlam Head office in Bellville to raise funds. Some Guide dogs and their owners as well as two puppies and their trainers came to visit.
It was a wet and cold Friday, but the rain did not put a damper on the fundraising.
By lunchtime the guide dogs were showered with attention and people wanting to know more about the dogs and how the training work.
All these lovely people supported the South African Guide Dog Association by buying a Boerewors Roll or two…
Preparing the Sausages for the Boerewors Rolls
The South African Guide Dog Association trains on average 65 guide dogs per year for the blind and visually impaired. The process is human intensive and the guide dogs are trained over and 18 month period. The first phase is spent with their “Puppy Raisers”, dedicated families and individuals who “adopt” a young guide dog puppy for 12 months. Thereafter the young guide dog in training returns to the SAGA centre and is allocated to a qualified guide dog mobility instructor who will formally train the dog for a further 6 months until it is allocated to a blind recipient. You can sponsor a puppy for R3500 or a full guide dog for R10 000.
For any further information on the South African Guide Dog Association please go visit their website.
On Friday morning I had the great pleasure to take some photo’s at a fundraiser for the South African Guide Dog Association. The rain was pouring down but the guide dogs and their trainers and owners did not mind. More photo’s later about this event.
Well my Stars said that my hard work of the past few years will be paying off this year. One thing is for sure if my husband did not get me to be a photographer at the Varingfees in 2010 and 2011 I would not be the official Photographer at the Sunshine Festival held by Alta Du Toit Aftercare Centre. I am truly blessed and I give all my thanks to my Heavenly Father and my friends and family for all their support.
Last night at the opening of the first Sunshine Festival we watched the Theater production Dinner for One at the Bat Theater and it was absolutely fantastic.
“For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.”
Christina Rossetti
Just love this one with flowers along the road and the view of the ocean….
I am busy editing our trip to the West Coast National Park so for the next few days you will be spoiled with flowers and landscapes…. I know the black and white photo’s don’t look as lovely as the color ones.
