Please note that this is not a normal RR as what you are used too, but allow me to share a piece of our history, life and our trip to Cape Town with you.
Long time ago, a very long time ago, before faxes, computers and cell phones, two youngsters were running around in Cradock, knowing each other, but had no interest in each other.
Then one day, the Alpha male of the van Vuuren clan, saw the 4th Venter daughter at a party downtown in Cradock. He took her home, and she never left him again. He had only eyes for her and she couldn’t get rid of himBut – there was a problem. He had to finish army - that was 1982.
Since then a lot happened. Got married in 1985 and had 2 kids in years to come. When they got married, they had a party until late that night and drove off to Cookhouse for their first night as a married couple. In the bedroom were 2 single beds . . . . . . and from that day, they knew that a single bed is as much comfortable as a double bed. Did a honeymoon with the sponsorship of Standard Bank and head off to Hartenbos. Break a rear car window during the time and the Venter daughter had to sit for a day or two on the rear seat holding plastic bags together so that the rain doesn’t enter the car. Bought a small house and later bought a bigger house and then were transferred to East London. It was always a jol being married to the Venter girl.
But there were downfalls – in 30 years a lot can happen. The van Vuuren boy ends up in ICU because of heart attacks and a 4way bypass. The Venter daughter ended up in hospital with an operation on her back. For both of them, their lives have changed after those operations.
Being always on the lookout for something ‘else’ to do, the Van Vuuren boy nearly drowned a few times while paddling on the Fish River. Got tangled with a parachute’s cables once and fell hard, very hard.
Years later when the kids left the house they decided that they have to spend the kid’s inheritance and bought a bike to see the world. But he couldn’t do it on his own – Ou Bees had to travel with him.
This was 12 January 1985 and still going strong >
