We are blessed and so thankful that Karla, our princess, was able to receive good schooling and to finish year-12 (matric) on Friday. She wrote her last subject (Phys Ed studies) then, finishing at 16:30, and that was that. After so many years, and so many cities, she has shown herself to be made of tough-stuff. Yes, pride is bursting from Karin and I, but we also thank God for holding all of us in his hands.
As usual, some pictures to commemorate this (for our family) momentous event,...celebrated in the first instance at Krispy Kreme...

The morning of Karla's last exam, and thus last day at school.
I had taken a day's leave, and was busy pouring a concrete slab, thus the high-vis and hat. |
 |
| 4:45pm. Game over! All done. Just look at that smile X |
 |
| A huge hug from a very proud mum!... |
 |
| ...and from Geno... |
 |
| ...and a kiss from a very proud dad! |
 |
| Exhausted, but happy, waiting for her Krispy Kreme sugar fix ;-) |
 |
On Saturday we invited some friends over for a braai to celebrate with us, and Scott arrived a little earlier.
Well done to him too; he finished school a couple of days before Karla. |
 |
| The Neuman and Vuyk families enjoying the breeze, as it was a hot day. |
 |
| BRAAI TIME! |
 |
| Chops, boerie and Scarfo's famous Garlic Chicken (which was superb again). |
 |
| Later that evening Lily looked like I felt, haha! Pap tyres. |
 |
| Now, looking forward to one of these (thanks Jakkals and Briar!) on ice. |
