Dixie Chicks!!

I had a great time with Sarah Breen and her sisters going to the Dixie Chicks in Napier.

Their friends Natasha and Karen met us there.

We had a night out on the waterfront Friday night.

Great Irish singer kept us all entertained.



Then we were off to The Mission on Saturday for the concert. It was an all day affair with several bands opening for them.




And when I got home the sunroom looked like this.

Josie's Birthday

Josie and her besties before the party.


We had a pretty low-key party this year - food, a movie and lots of selfies.





Family dinner on her actual birthday at a restaurant of her choice - and it's Japanese again!!


Prettiest cat in the world. And the kid isn't bad either.

Our March Madness

Some of my gala helpers and me dressing up in some of the more "out there" donations (although Danielle's pants would be very popular in Florida). . .

Pre-sale fun, we were very successful and made $11,000 in the two days before the actual gala.

Still smiling on gala day - I had lots of help.

My amazing team - our little "Designer Clothing" stall raised $21,000 this year for the school.  

Hamish was in town and took the Wellingtonians out for a lovely dinner at Boulcott Street Bistro - Rob was the photographer.
It was a wet day for Dragon Boating but the girls were still enthusiastic and gave it their all.

Becks and I were cold but were there to support our girls.

Go Marsden Year 13!!

Well done - they qualified for an "A" Final.


A little hot chocolate to help warm up Katie, Meggie and Hannah.

And they are at it again.


Awesome girls.
Our Sausage Sizzle at Mitre 10 to raise money for the Fiji Service trip.

Meggie, Liz and I made a great team.

Meggie went straight to Relay for Life after the sausage sizzle, busy day!


Early morning selfies.

Katie qualified for Western Zones in the Javelin Throw. Who knew?!


Nicky, Catherine and I took a road trip to the Wairarapa to see Tim and Jen's new place. We miss having them next door but their new place is gorgeous!!




Lots of personality - and fun - in this room!


Blue!!





Getting quinces before leaving the next morning.

Maddie rides all over their huge property on one of her two horses, she's very happy in their new digs.
