EPISODE 4: PARTY @ THE YOUNGS'

Last Sunday, (17 Aug) we were invited to Karen Young's birthday party. She lives somewhere near Sea World and theme parks area, in the hinterlands. She is the wife of Peter Young, a Gold Coast division councillor for Nerang. 
This was our 2nd time there and Jordan was just so looking forward to playing fetch sticks with their dog, Jessie again. My camera charger is still missing... sigh!  but here were some previous pictures of their lovely place by the lake which I love because of its natural state of trees, grass, flowers and animals.  
The peacocks (they have about 5 or 6 in a family) finally flaunted their plumage... it was a good time together and also getting to know many new friends. Karen was the perfect hostess for her own party, and even baked her own birthday cake! Talk about self-sacrificial, it is just so nice of them to give everyone a treat when it's her birthday, and especially when they are going through a rough patch in their lives financially too... About 30-40 people attended, so Karen & Peter were busily serving guests.. scrumptious dips and 'nibblies' (snacks) and BBQ.
Met some interesting people too.. some were Peter's political allies in his fight for justice, and Pastor Mark, who is Karen's father and some of her family. We appreciate Karen for sharing with us this time and devoting herself to give her best for this party.
