I did not go with everyone for the bush morning trail walk because hubby hates when I call billy when I find he goes too far away. Something in my voice he find stressful. Sigh. So I stayed behind and called my parents. They do so much road for their shopping- they were gone all afternoon yesterday for that purpose. I would hate it. I hate shopping. 

I may go back to NZ in the fall with hubby. It’s been about 18 years since my last visit. Now we have to take three planes to get to his dad at his sisters place on the south island, where he moved and built himself a tiny house.
