Holiday and Friends

We are off our our holidays on Sunday and really looking forward to having a nice trip to the USA. Going to do some sightseeing and enjoy some quality time together as well as a little relaxing but best of all we are going to catch up with some dear friends from Canada. That will be the highlight of our trip. Mike and Lauri and our newer friends Andy and Lucy will sure be a fun group to be with. We had a marvelous time together in N.Z with them earlier in the year and over in Australia for a short visit as well. The Kiwis and the Canadians will be in fulltime good time mode!!!!! Yes indeed. Let the Good times Roll!!!!!!

Raising the Flag on the Island

On the weekend Jordan and Kesia came to stay and the adventure for the weekend was to erect a flag Pole on the Island. The first attempt on Saturday was not successful as it only stayed up for a short while so back we all went on Sunday for another attempt with all the tools of the trade to make a better effort. Needless to say this attempt was successful and is still flying several days later. Hoorah for Jordan and Kesia with their Pops help. A grand effort and fitting it was erected using the bamboo growing on the Island. A nice afternoon tea picnic of corn chips was enjoyed by all and of course the photographer was there to take the pictures as you can see.
