Birthdays

 


Today is my oldest son's 30th birthday. He lives in Auckland with his wife and my grand daughter. So after talking to him on the phone this morning, I decided to take my daughter R and her dog Bug to Greymouth Beach after the rain stopped. B and I had been meaning to attend another street racing event held just up the road from us but I was feeling a bit shattered from a busy week at work. While we were out I looked out over the water and realized how much I missed the rest of my family who all live in the north island. Hopefully one day we will get back there...
