What in the world is Rick Gould up to?
In getting ready to print this blog in book form as a record of our time in New Zealand, I interleaved Cindy’s blog entries, directly imported a few photos, but the other links to photos online will have to be to a companion photo album instead. There are also a number of blog posts I…

Well, it’s been almost a year-and-a-half since I wrote in my blog – I keep meaning to “get caught up”, but of course that never seems to actually happen. 🙂 I will have to find a way to back-date all the draft posts I have from New Zealand. I can’t believe that the last time…

(Excerpted from Cindy’s blog) We have had our adventure in New Zealand and are now happily settled back in our little place on the island. Things I took for granted are now appreciated and renewed relationships are in full swing! But I have found our adventures are continuing in another direction! We are buying a…

Yes, it’s November, but that makes it springtime in New Zealand! It was a beautiful day outside today, and I just had to get out for a walk after work. (And Cindy said it was below freezing back home – down in the 20’s and 30’s, Farenheit) Walking down into Takapuna, you could just smell…

Once we made the decision to return to the States, it started a long chain of logistics to make the move, which culminated Saturday. On Wednesday I bicycled to work, then left my bike with Keith who I will rent a room from on my return. Thursday was Sarah’s last day here, and we took…

In addition to getting ready to head back to the States, we’ve been squeezing-in a couple last trips – the caving trip Sarah and I did, and a family trip to Tiritiri Matangi. The past couple weekends were our last chances for a family excursions before heading back to the States. We had been wanting…

What’s with all the caving anyway? I decided that of all the opportunities for activities down here, caving is the one that we don’t have too much of around the Northwest. Also, Sarah is a willing caving partner, whereas for some reason Cindy and Max don’t like crawling around in the mud and water underground!…

Cindy’s birthday was a low-key affair this year – I took the afternoon off, and we did her favorite things – lunch, a movie, and a walk on the beach! I had also stayed up late the night before putting up a birthday sign and streamers, and date scones with candles. At Navman however, the…

It’s been a month since I last wrote, because we were busy with Sandy still visiting, there were a lot of photos to get in order from our tour south, we’ve been busy getting ready to return to the States, trying to fit in a last couple trips, and oh yes – working full time…

(Excerpted from Cindy’s blog) We leave to go back to the States in 5 days now. The last 3 weeks we have been selling furniture on TradeMe and pretty much everything has sold. Some of it for much more then we paid for it. And some for not very much at all. We have practice…
