An excerpt from March 17th, 2017.
"Have you ever participated in a swap of any kind? This was a first time for me, and my envelopes went, from Rangitikei to Rotorua, to Auckland, to Vancouver via a suitcase of luggage in an AirNZ plane, then by plane to Kelowna, then the staff at Big White posted them!!! What a roundabout way to get my fabric swaps to friends in the 150 Canadian Women group."
This is one piece I have been saving for something special, and the time has come to sew it into a table runner. I have reds to add to the edges, and may try to inset the flag design in a second border too.
And as our grandson is in Vancouver , there is not a better time to honour all Canadians, as they battle to stand against border tariffs and more. Stand strong, stand together, you will triumph.
Meantime, skiing continues, Cypress Mountain had a huge dump of snow a few weeks ago, a snow shovel is a necessity.
Our own travels have included a flight to Dunedin, staying with daughter and son-in-law, our older daughter flew down, so we were all together to celebrate Hugh's birthday back in January.
A cake with candles, and wonderful times together.
AirNZ staff, and airport staff at Palmerston North, Christchurch and Dunedin were so helpful at each step of the flights. We had a delay on the way down, the Rotorua flight had some very disruptive people on board , and security had to board and take them off, then find their luggage to remove that too.So we had a wait at Christchurch till that plane arrived, some 20 minutes late. We were kept informed all the time, and after that everything went smoothly.
Quotation of the day, from A. A. Milne
" You can't stay in your corner of the forest
waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes"
