More Aussie Cousins for Twinkle Toes

This is a great shot of David (left) and John (right) playing table tennis at Gran's house in NSW, Australia. They are the two sons of Lara's sister Nerida.

Nerida has retired from being a midwife and pediatric nurse to support husband Peter in their two businesses: Battery World, and Cart Mart.

Gran was a Table Tennis champion back in her day at Sydney University and each family member has had their hand on a bat from time to time.

This is NOT Twinkle Toes, but a very Cute Model

Life is full of joy and sadness. Part of being a family, is keeping the hope candle burning through the darkest hours.

Grandma has been very sick. She has spent months in the hospital since last December battling cancer and a miriad of opportunistic infections. To raise her spirits, Twinkle Toes sent this onsie to the hospital with a card asking Grandma to "Hang in there" because "I'm on my way to you................"

Dennis and Lara desperately searched the packing for the return address, but to no avail ; )
