Shopping in the Rain… Complete with Photos

It’s a rare thing for me to post a photo of myself on this blog!  But, I decided that I should show you what I look like when I’m all kitted out to go walking in the Auckland winter rain… Gosh, my hair’s getting long!  And please, pay no mind to the bedroom – we’re [...]

Moving Day Carnage

I’ve decided that for however long we’re in New Zealand – whether that is 5 years or 50 years – we are staying put.  No more moving, no more packing, no more unpacking – this is it. The thing about moving to another country is that you can’t just unpack and throw away the boxes.  [...]

Burger Fuel!

**Don’t forget to read my June book review and enter the giveaway!** One of the burger restaurants in New Zealand is Burger Fuel, a multi-national chain that started on Ponsonby Road in Auckland.  I wouldn’t classify Burger Fuel as being “fine dining”, but it isn’t exactly “fast-food” either.  There’s one about a 3 minute walk [...]

Auckland Domain

Chris and I did some more walking about town on Saturday.  We’ve walked all over the place! This time, we cut through the park across from our hotel.  We had a general destination of Auckland Domain, but no set route on how to get there. Here’s a photo that I snapped of Chris along the [...]

Video + Pictures in New Zealand!

Hello, my lovely readers!  We made it to New Zealand, and so far, so good. The flights weren’t bad.  Honestly, the worst parts of the trip in terms of service and overall comfort were on the domestic side of things.  Once we were on our Air New Zealand flight, things were great.  There were plenty [...]

Auf Wiedersehen, Good-Bye {until New Zealand}

Today is the day!  I had a great week with my family and loved taking long walks on the property.  It was a lot of fun and a great way to say good-bye. Here are some photos that I took while on my parents’ property this week.  Anyone who says that the Midwest is flat [...]

A Dog’s Life

My dog has the ideal life.  Every day, he gets to play and eat and take walks.  And when he’s tired, he gets to laze on the couch and bask in the sunshine.  This is actually how Bear spends most of his day (here, or in a lap)… Oh, every now and then something will [...]
