Grandma and her boys

I can not believe it has been so long ......




Life has been a little hectic of late ... loads of things have gone on since Christmas far to numerous to mention and not of a lot of interest to everyone else ...
But I have just spent a wonderful week with my good friends Maureen and Stewart from UK .. finally they made it all the way to New Zealand.  A promise she made herself years ago when we upped sticks and flew half way around the world to live.... well it took a while to get them here but was worth the wait. 

I did not know we could pack in so much to a week ... when they arrived it was just like yesterday that we left each other the conversation just continued where we left off the last time we met. They flew out today to head to USA for a few days then back to Southampton  UK.




Another  happy day was when my daughter Kathryn received her Nursing Degree ... now Kathryn has been nursing for almost 20 yrs and was a registered nurse working in theatres,  a couple of years ago  she decided to may be retrain and leave nursing ... so she has converted her nursing diploma into a degree.
This has been no mean feat for her while holding down a nursing job and running a home and taking care of  two lively boys and of course Steve her husband  ... Well done Kathryn I am proud of you ....

Hi Laurie
Old friends are true friends indeed, aren't they. Great that you could show them a bit of NZ and spend time with them. Bet you two ladies never stopped talking the whole time!
Congrats to your daughter on her achievement.
