Stole away from work and home recently to adventure with friend Michelle Hansen, RN at work, for a tramp on the Coromandel Peninsula. A neat place called the Pinnacles, classic tramp, up to a ridge and then the rocky outcrop requiring climb up ladders even. Such a delightful day I thought more tramping and less work a very good idea!!! Enjoyed the time immensely, lots of NZ bush, great views out to the ocean, and delightful time getting to know new friend :)

Had the honor of attending Spokane friend Dawn Picken's marriage to Kiwi Pete in Pukahina.
What a joyous day for these two despite the epic rain all morning!

and of course there is another Kiwi in our midst, the new kitten, whom we have all come to adore and argue over. Question is how will we get him back the States with us? Hmmm, to be determined.
