Heeey Hey! Good rainy day to catch you up a little more up to speed! So yet, again, grab that chair. 😊 The last blog said Dec 28 bc thats when I started typing it.. took me a while to get back to a comp, eh? This is a fresh one! 😊 We made our way in and around Christchurch to our random, girls only, hostel. It was something German and I still can't pronounce the name of it,... Read Full Entry

The pictures are amazing. I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice though. I know you are having a blast...so jealous!

MK --- Thank you so much for letting Eliza come home to me. After about two days, I think she was wanting to be back in NZ, but, sadly, she's back in the "real world" now. I will say, however, that I think she appreciates the bed, the car, the food, the phone, the laptop, the Marg, the makeup, the large, usually clean shower. PLEASE be careful and we await your return. Love, Miss Linda

A wizard?!?! That would have freaked me out!! Awh, Mary I can just image your saddness with Eliza leaving. I got sad thinking about you being alone and crying---flashback to the DG house and you watching The Notebook and having Morgan come get me to cry with you! :) Ah, good times. I love and miss you!!

Love the pictures!
Looks like you are having a great time, and I love reading all of your stories! Love all of the pictures, too. Miss you back here in the US. Only 7 more weeks until we find out where we are moving for the next 4 years!

Just now reading this!
Hey MK!!! I am just now catching up on all the blogs... I don't know if I told you about my crying all alone on the shuttle to the airport, but I did =(. The little old lady I was sitting next to looked like she wanted to adopt me. I must have looked like a sad case. And, yes, it did not take me long to get used to blow drying my hair after I get out of the shower in which I did not have to wear shoes!!! Can you imagine?!?! Stay strong! Your bed and shower are waiting.... And little Ms. Margaret! She follows me even closer than she did before; hard to imagine, but true! MISS YOU!!!!!

Reading between the lines!
Forgot to mention I love the fact that I know exactly what you mean when you say "much needed shower" and "laid the seats back for the night" or "not exactly a great night's sleep"!
