Christa & Fred

Just sharing...

Had to share this little pic.  Fred & Christa have been married 60 years!! Their kids gave them a surprise lunch and photo shoot.  They were a hoot - Fred is now 93 years age and I couldn't keep up with his hilarious nature & quick wit and Christa was so personable and welcoming, just wanted to feed me dutch coffee and biscuits instead of shooting.  They told me of their days back in Holland and how poor they were during the war, and how grateful they were to be able to come to Australia to raise a family.    The car they are in was bought by Fred brand new after saving for years.  Its still in pristine condition like the day they bought it.  The flowers on the bonnet are a replica of the bouquet Christa had on her wedding day.  Her daughter made them, copying them from one of the few wedding photos they have. 

I just get a kick out of the tales and back stories people tell me.
