Hi all, sorry it's been so long. I'd like to say that we've just been too busy to take the time to write, but I don't think your all going to buy that. Blame it on the twin brothers laziness and procrastination. As it turned out the stolen bike never did turn up ( surprise, surprise ), even after we sneakily checked out the lot I rented it from to see if they had put it back into service. Almost e...

Shortly after the photo the elephant decided the patio was a good a place as any to relieve herself. Even a small elephant can hold a surprising amount of urine!

Looks more like Stampede Wrestling than massage.

Enjoy Blog
Starting Fall here, is great to see the two of you viewing the other side of the world. I was able to drive combine in harvest. Am trimming the trees in my yard now, and hope to put new shingles on the house. Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the Lord. Love Uncle Dave.

weather report from Sask.
Hi Guys! Just wanted to let you know we've had the first snowfall of the year so don't worry I'm sure we'll have lots of snow by the time you return. You haven't had a chance to experience the white stuff for awhile now. Actually I'm getting more comfortable with the change of seasons here (after all these years!) and not dreading the coming of winter. Although I'm sure about Feb./Mar. I'll be looking forward to it warming up again! It's going to be chilly for the trick or treaters but it's supposed to warm-up again in Nov. before winter's here to stay. Had to re-read the blog a bit to follow: you were so many places! Then you were back in New Zealand. Whew, breathed a sigh of relief, you were back on familiar ground. Thailand sounds very interesting and beautiful although some of their customs were a little unusual!!! Don't think the bathroom massage thing would fly here! Everyone is well here and looking forward to your return. It will be so nice to have you home for Christmas. Love from Sask. Mom

First impressions
I saw this photo in the highly rated section of Travelblog. I originally thought it was 3 men with their bodies painted standing really still, waiting for people to throw money at them. But then I read your caption, very funny. Great Pic guys.
