SATURDAY IN PALMY

Right... I'm just going to go straight into photos from yesterday:

ABOVE:  us at Huka Falls, just before reaching Taupo.

ABOVE: Me and Sharon at Huka Falls.... she met us there as she wanted to show me something...

ABOVE:  this picture was what she wanted to show me.... it was her's and she wanted to give it to me!  I was like... YES THANK YOU! ... it's GORGEOUS!  We will pick it up from her on our way home on Tuesday.   What a lovely gift ... and clearly she knows me TOO WELL!   I adore that picture... kids, water and BLUE!

ABOVE: last photo... about to go over the new bridge on the new by-pass at Taupo.


TODAY:  well ... going to meet my girlfriends at The Coffee Club in Palmerston North at 10 am.  Anyone who wants to join us (Janine, Janene, Mary H)... you are welcome!

Morning Tea with the girls was just lovely, we managed to kill a couple of hours easily.
There was Chris D, Sandra C, Janine H and myself, so a nice number around the table.

 ABOVE: Janine and I...

ABOVE:  The 'original' three... Myself, Chris D and Sandra C.

ABOVE:  while out and about today, I managed to find a really good sized sun dome shelter thingee for the beach.  I struggled to figure it out (top), so Stew had to step in and erect it.  Sandra pushing a peg in above.

ABOVE: also found this nautical themed clock... slightly shop damaged ... so $20 off.  Score.

ABOVE:  look at all the goodies Janine H gave us while we were at morning tea!  Totally cool stuff... THANKS so much Janine.

We are expecting Chris D, Mike and his girlfriend Joyce for dinner, so I better go and make sure it's ready!   I bought salad stuff and cold meats ... so it's pretty much sorted already.

End of Day:  it's been a lovely day... so nice to catch up with everyone down here.  Shame I shall miss seeing Anne, Janene and Jenny though.
ON TRACK:  possibly  had too much dinner, but it was all good, healthy food, so not too bad.
nite nite.
