We were jubilant the day our team won the tennis trophy for the season but too old even then to jump the net.

Jubilation was felt by one and all when our progress group won the open Gardens community gardens grant. The main mover and shaker was over the moon – she was jubilant.

Pelican Pete a Noosa icon has seen much jubilation in his time as he has participated in street parades since the 70s and is permanently on display outside the Pelican Boat Hire. He is kept by them in perfect repair so any street parade can be graced with his presence. The pelican can rotate its head, open and shut its bill, flap its wings, blink its eyelashes, and wiggle its tail. Operated from the inside two very hot operators jiggle the pulleys and levers that make him work. To keep them working a plentiful supply of cool beverages are supplied. The pelicans back is filled with the jubilant participants of the parade.

A wedding is the place to see jubilation. Even a friend is jubilant and I certainly am.

Roger’s 96 year old father travelled from England for the event – I think that he was jubilant that he was around to celebrate with us but also he thought Roger might settle down. He didn’t know me too well at the time. Roger’s sister is also jubilant but she is one of these people that are full of the joys of life – her normal state of being.

How wonderful that Roger’s 96 year old father attended your wedding, that’s amazing! I was amazed enough when my dear Granny flew over to California at 89 to visit us with my mum for the first time! Your wonderfully jubilant photos bring sunshine and joy to my day…thank you my friend! ❤ 🙂

Yes it was great that he attended and my Father performed the service and the boats on Pittwater Harbour all tooted as we took our first kiss as a married couple. It was quite magic.
Even at 89 I think it is a feat. Only the tough can do it. My Mum couldn’t contemplate an overseas trip or probably even within Australia now. I’d love to take her over to Switzerland but she just couldn’t do it.
Glad I gave you a bit of sunshine. Hope your weekend is full of it. ❤
