It's not often that we get to dress up and look fabulous in Chingola! (???) So when Donald & Michelle and Adam & Charmaine decided that a party would be hosted at Adam & Charmaine's for Mel's 60th, pretty much the whole town got into a state of wild excitement! (you must understand, we sad Chingolans get excited very easily - a fresh vegetable delivery in our local supermarket can have us all nearly wetting ourselves!) So this was MAJOR!
It was held on 27th November 2004 with a great deal of planning.
We had to all arrive at a certain time, followed by Mel's blindfolded arrival with Pat at the wheel and Amy in the back! (Pat is a dear friend of Mel's and also lived here once and Amy came to visit with Pat and is now also a good friend)
And so Mel arrived to find us all there and the party began. Drinks flowed..............and flowed.............I attempted to take photos of everyone (aided by my trusty assistant 'Barb'!), preferably with Mel, so that I could make Mel a beautiful album full of memories for afterwards. A delicious sit-down meal was organised in a beautifully decorated marquee and speeches followed. Pat had written a lovely 'poem' all about Mel's life which was great!
Well, the drinks flowed and kept on flowing................hours went by...............our dancing shoes came out and we all suddenly thought we were in Saturday Night Fever! (see photos for evidence!)
Slowly people drifted off home and it was down to us few stalwarts to keep the party going!
This we did with pleasure for many hours! We all had a fabulous night and just wish Mel could be 60 more often!
