WHERE AM I?

So...yesterday I decided to go somewhere... a  road trip in fact...
 ABOVE: Turangi
 ABOVE: The desert road... the windy bit.

*smiles*

 ABOVE: Taihape... looks like a nice shop.
ABOVE: So where did I end up???

 PALMERSTON NORTH!  I decided, totally spur of the moment, to go and visit Mike and Joyce... and spend a couple of days with the girlfriends. 

 So I packed a bag real fast and we left before lunch.    Hee hee...  I posted photos of the trailer work once Steve sent me the photos.  SNEAKY ME ... *SMILES*

 So... here I am. Today Sandra and I are heading over to Featherston on family matters... so another little road trip! Sure beats staying home doing housework!

 Onward...

 Well.. we are now in Featherston at Sandra's daughter's home.
And so far the visit has been very interesting. 

 There's a bloke here felling some huge old pine trees.  I got some cool photos of him felling a twin trunked pine:




ABOVE: It came down beautifully.... one half fell straight  and the other went off to the side.  We ain't going anywhere right now cos it came down  across the driveway.  Lol
ABOVE: This is Sandra's little granddaughter Harper. We just picked her up from kindy.  I said to her:

 "Wow you look like your Dad"...to which Harper said "No".

 So I said  "ok...so do you look like your Mum?"

 And Harper said "No" again.

 I asked her who did she look like then?

 And Miss Harper said..."I look like HARPER!"

 Derrrr.... silly me!

 Ok... it was just a bit funny.

 Well... its 9.45 PM and Sandra and I have just arrived home from Featherston.  It's quite a long way from Palmy.

 I'm off to bed shortly...so
