I received these amazing shots from a friend of ours, especially of hubby from his high school years and youth, who visited friends south of Dunedin in NZ. He surfs a lot, eats great food and is happily settled free and happy with his companion of many decades. Below is a gem they found on the beach where they were visiting and surfing.

We should truly visit for a week Dundin and them. They came twice or three times to visit us when his mother was still in Vancouver and not yet down under. I thought I would never travel again because of my meds, but I have a two weeks window where I can, since I dont need to inject during that time. It would be fabulous, but with what money? We could go 14 days, travel 4 days there and back, land in dunedin for 4-5 days and then head to Takaka for 4-5 days. Then home. Whiskey would have passed by then of course and Billy and TumTum could be put in daycare. It would cost such a fortune and we will never have the money. It would be about 12K for two and the dogs minimum. We can look into it but we cannot even manage to save for repairs of the house, at 3-4 K! Its been 2 years I have been trying to save for that! We have 1K so far only.
