Once Upon A Time

 A really long time ago.

I was a cowboy (on the right) Ken was a hobo (in the middle) Lyn (AKA Gidge) was a young girl just waiting till she was old enough to run away from home. Never came back! But we are family, still are.

As you can see, a rough and ready bunch.

New Mural in Tauranga

Off the downtown Red Square. A new community mural.

Liam Makawe, artist, adding finishing touches and filling in the blank spaces.

He told me they are looking for other places around town for similar projects.

 

Making Memories

 We nipped up to Lake Okareka for a few hours to hang out with Rob, Sarah and the kids.

Lucky for us they were just off of a ski so off we went. Nice place by the way.

A few pics lots more to come.

Jay did really well. Very pleased with himself he had his longest ski yet. Sarah was on the controls loving the power..

Lewi was just hanging in the water mid lake loving it.

And along comes dad!

Rob's really getting it sorted.
