NEW COMER

I am not sure if this is going to work, but I am giving it a go.  Hayden, and I went around to mum's last night to catchup with her and Elizabeth.  Elizabeth had bought a cord to connect mums laptop to her big TV screen so that when her lovelies skype, mum can see what beauties she produced. Kevin & Noeline were the first to be viewed on the big screen last night and what a mighty handsome couple they were too!

Worked today for the Elections and again tomorrow.  It is an amazing machine, unbelievable what goes on behind the scenes to ensure ED runs smoothly, so my fellow NZers' make sure you vote on November 26.

Laurie is in China at the moment, went via Singapore.  We are hopeful he will be able to source some fantastic product to add to his range.  All is well.  Love to one and all.

This is what full blown narcissism must feel like,..... writing a blog all about yourself and not caring if someone reads it or not!!
Mum and I went to the nursery today and selected some vegetable plants.  Half of Auckland were doing the same thing,  it was great to watch the intensity of peoples faces as they carefully chose each plant.
Today Mum didn't have much get up and go, maybe it was because she was up watching the AB game last night.  This morning she said that she had to do a crossword to settle down before sleeping.

Jennifer's birthday a couple of days before I left for NZ (she flew back to Chico for it)

On Saturday Clare, Laurie Hayden and I went to Waiheke, to take pictures of the McForsman land.  Yes we biked, around the island,  up and down the hills.  Possibly the biggest hill was on the property.
The land is up for sale, so if you're excited about getting it,  John has come up with a deal;  he will throw in 2 parcels of land in Arizona to go with the Waiheke section!!!!!!
  That's all for now folks, keep well, stay in touch, and May the Force Be With You,  #3

Welcome citizens, countrymen, aliens and foreigners.  John set up this cyber cafe, so everything is here minus the lattes and chai teas.  We're an extremely curious(possibly nosey) crowd, so we look forward to reading all about you!

It's a beautiful Wednesday in Auckland and Mum is doing well.  There was a momentous turning point yesterday so she did lots of walking.  Today we're off to get a tyre and the wheels balanced.

 I have discovered your vanilla squares, so found a recipe online for supposedly the best ever made.  That kiwi woman shouldn't be allowed to post information as I threw half of them out!!

 Yesterday we were looking at getting some planters together as Mum is going to have an allotment (just like in Coronation Street where they planted lots of veges).  So Clare (I'm not sure if Laurie knows he's been roped in also) are going to use their trailer to pick up some supplies.  In a couple of months Mum will be down at the markets selling her tomatoes.!!
Keep well, keep laughing and stay in touch #3
