Greetings from the South Pole


Well, not quite, but nearly there. I mean Dunedin IS getting pretty far south isn't it? We are having a wonderful time. My boys have been looking after us in great style. So far since we have been here, we have met our new grand daughter, Conaire, aint she beautiful?

Also, Ian took us to see the new movie sensation, Avatar.Can't really sy an awful lot about it, because words sorta fail me just a little. Suffice it to say, that if you get the chance to go see it you gotta.

Next day, we did the Taiare Gorge railway trip. We have wanted to do it for some time now, & have finally gotten around to it.
It really is an amazing trip. I will probably do a separate post on it after we get home.















That fullah Arthur must have been a pretty busy sort of guy, because not only did he pass somewhere else in the South Island, He left a vital bit of his anatomy at the top of the Taiare Gorge, so you go figure.......












This is the other reason for our visit. Our first Southern Grand Daughter Anna, who has now just had her 2nd. birthday. She is growing up beautiful & seems to be developing a special bond with her Grammy, as you can see. Anyway, as the post card says, having a wonderful time, wish you was here.. LATER..

Grandkids: Heaven's reward for having been through Hell and back raising their parents. And those wee ones ARE a piece of Heaven, aren't they?

Those little "southern belles" (as we call 'em over here) are absolutely beautiful. But with such good genes, what else COULD they be, eh? ;-) I so wish we could watch Anna and Tawny's little Kya play together. (Kya will turn 2 on Feb. 7th.)

I really liked Avatar too, Flattie. In fact, I saw it in 3-D, and plan to see it a second time, hopefully on the big screen again, since I had to take Aiden to the bathroom at the very end, just as it was coming to its exciting end. Yessir, those grandkids are worth whatever it takes to make 'em happy.
