| 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 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. |
 |
| 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. |
