Dano and I are sitting at the table, he is filling in hockey travel weekends. Both Sammer and Abs are playing on the Pee Wee team, Dano is their coach. The Senior Men's team that Dan plays on travels as well. We are a little gobsmacked at the looks of our calendar for May and June. It looks like we will see places such as Alexandra, Dunedin, Queenstown, Naseby and Tekapo. Although it does seem like a lot of traveling we are pleased becuase we get to see places we would never had gone in the winter in NZ. Ironically, when Mom and Dad are here the kids do not have any games. Dan has a game and there is a tournament at our Gore Arena so we will be involved. I cannot wait until they get here!
The weather is definitely autumn now in New Zealand. The days have been sunny and warm and the nights cool and clear. Yesterday we did many jobs around the house, cutting grass, weeding gardens, adding oil to the cars...stuff like that. It was a dry windy day and the laundry was dry in no time! This whole idea of not having a dryer is like second nature to us now. This morning we got up and Dano was speaking at a church on Lumsden about camp. The drive to Lumsden is amazing, hills and mountains all the way. The scenery is something that we will never grow tired of here. We came home to gale winds...and when I say gale winds...I mean really, really extremely strong winds. Like doors slamming, windows being sucked open and shut, whistling, roof creaking, random items whizzing by the windows....like Southern Ontarians have never seen!!!!! While the kids and Dano were public skating I went for a half hour power walk in this crazy wind. It was not pretty. My hair was such an issue I am sitting here typing with a doo rag tightly wrapped in an attempt to tame the mane.
Oh yeah, Dano and I watched Weekend At Bernie's Saturday night and laughed our tails off. Brian Cofell will always be Bernie Lomax to me. Flopping around like a standing corpse, Brian is hilarous!!!! (miss you Cofe)
Until next time,
Samantha
