...... there's
no place like
home. Yes, even when I have 4 [
super] grumpy buyers, a car
still in the shop, 6 loads of laundry to
fold [I even did 4 loads in NZ?!], a Hubby already back at
work [on a
"holiday"?!], a now broken printer,
no rental car drop-off in sight & no
other food in the fridge but the
bread my parents brought us
last night - - yep, I still love being
home.
The trip was a
huge success. Trips to NZ always
seem to be busy [VERY busy]. Always
so many people to see/visit/get in touch with in
such a small period of time. However, we
made sure to relax on our second to last day there with a
day trip to Waiheke Island. I'll retire in NZ
any day, if it's
here.

I'll be posting
a lot of photos from our trip in the next few days. However, I could
NOT wait a moment to post this one:

My
favorite photo I took. We were
lucky enough to go with Poppy on 3 walks around
Whangaparaoa & Little & Big Manly - [beaches]. The only thing that would make this photo
better would be if you could see this
89 year olds'
calves - amazing. I will
never forget first meeting Poppy. We sat down to lunch, started talking about our
workout routines - look up to see Poppy on the restaurant
patio floor doing push-ups!! He was
80 years old at the time! What a man.
The services for Nana were beautiful & I [finally] got a chance to meet most of Mike's family [more on that "experience" later] ;)

it's great to have you back. hope it was fun and that you had no other suitcase drama coming back =).
welcome back! we've missed you. i'm so glad you were able to go to the funeral and spend (i hope) quality time with mike's family. funerals can set the best tone- or not. i hope it was the good kind.
i look forward to seeing more pictures and hearing about the rest of your trip.
I, too, have missed you. Glad you call Arizona "home"
