Kerikeri Christmas Parade |
I spent a few days with my mom and Ken. Lots of "Food Network" on TV, plus several hours of watching a man pump their septic tank. It was good times. The things we do for family....

One thing about living in the first country in the world to experience New Years...there's not much in the way of celebrations on TV. To all of our friends in the States (where it's still December 31), greetings from 2008!

Hokianga Overnight |
Kerikeri Flooding |
Furling a sail |
I spent last night at the west coast home of the Mitts, the family from whom I rent my room in Kerikeri. I stopped at the entrance to Hokianga Harbor on the way, which was spectacular. Mary and Christiana took me on a rainy tramp through the woods to look at an old commune and I managed to get in a quick walk around the ancienct Kauri forests as well. Their place is beautiful and rustic, a peaceful sanctuary in the hills.

It hasn't been raining for 40 days and 40 nights. It just seems that way.

This beach has some jagged rocks and big rips. This poor little guy probably got dashed against them, then washed up on shore. Allie, particularly, was pretty upset to see him. We made him an alter and she wrote him an homage. It was very sweet.
