Unplanned party
27 March 12
Last year, we celebrated Calista’s birthday at a local fairy festival topped off with cupcakes and candles in the evening at Johnny’s house. Although we didn’t plan it, this year Calista’s birthday was at the same location — the Bush Fairy Dairy which is next door to Johnny’s house.
Yesterday morning, when I told Calista it was her birthday, her response was, “Well, where’s my cake?” I started to fret a little, thinking that I would need to somehow manifest a cake. Little did I know that it would appear at the right time — without my manipulation or work!
A local woman organised a group meal to encourage, inspire and inform newcomers about the history and potential of the area. When we heard about it, we signed up, eager to spend time with old friends and make new ones.



We’re so thankful for all the local people who contributed to this special meal for us. And it was a real treat to have Nathan serenade Calista by singing “Happy birthday”. This was a day to remember, and such a special way to mark Cali’s birthday!
