YSA 's Farewell to 63 Alma

FINALITY...... Tuesday night saw 18 of the YSA from Launceston, Devonport and some from Hobart close the chapter of Gatherings and Activities at 63 Alma....

Yep they all came to have a Sweet Night and hang out for the last time here where so many YSA have boarded while they went to UNI, gathered as friends, played games like Phase 10, UNO, Trivial Pursuit, spoons etc...ogled across the couch their Eternal companions, partied before their missions and just hung out together with each other...i would like to think they also strengthened their testimonies of the Gospel too.

Some of the originals are still coming.....(we wont name names here)

And of course there is always something to amuse the whole gathering....

Here is Rach reading a book called.."The lady and the Chocolate" by Edward Monkton that i received for Christmas... it gives you the true reason why you HAVE to eat chocolate....(i love this book)


The gathering at "the trough"... ooowww all that sugar overload from Cheese cakes, chocolate self saucing pudding, vanilla slice, chocolate Ripple Cake, Oreo Cheese cake, chocolate icecream, more cheese cakes and fudge and of course fruit smoothies and Blueberry Cordiol......they love it!!! (and get a look at those skinny waists..ggrrrr)

Must say that the five guys were very much out numbered but if you asked them....they didn't mind at all...







getting ready to "chow down"....




"the leader of the pack"... and a very good one too



Now these two were totally mesmerized by WHAT????



the YSA official Paparazzi....



that is a Smoothy moustache she has on there.... NICCCE




Sweeties eating Sweets....




more Sweets... (and sweeties)


BLOKUS...
THE BEST BOARD GAME EVER ...and this is what those two were so mesmerized with....













So it is with many happy memories of so many fun times with so many beautiful and handsome YSA from all over the state...that we hand over the 6 huge journals of photographic evidence and writings of those times and we bid a very, very fond farewell to 63 Alma...but don't cry ... there are promises of new YSA memories to be made at a certain rental property as well as the brand new house to be built in Perth this year...
Watch this space!!!!

  1. Wow what a night! I can certainly beleive you have 6 journals of the most fantastic memories. Many a YSA can look back on fondness at 63 ALma and those not so young too (mwah included).
