Subject: Just a lovely day worth sharing.

After droping Sam off for his neuter this morning I decided that since we were out and about in the country side and it was a beautiful morning that it was too nice to waste by going straight home so Daniel and I drove around exploring rural roads that we didn't know at all. We had no idea where they would take us but I figured that so long as I could orientate on the mountain range to the west we should be able to find our way home eventually. :) We drove down farm bordered roads and roads that provided lovely views right out over the countryside and still other roads that took us through the shady deepths of native NZ bush. :) It was all wonderful. Then we ended up half way back from where we had just come and we retraced our path but made a stop at Crystal Mountain to take a look around. What a cool place!!! The owner is going to give me a call about a special something that I was taken with but decided it wasn't exactly what I want - a large piece of greenstone (jade) that they cut and polish on two sides (and sometimes a little on the top too if it's flatish) and leave as raw rock on the other two sides. They cut a flat base so that it can be stood up to be admired. He has a few out back to do and when they are ready I will get first pick of them. :) Daniel had fun too and bought home some new "treasures". Then we got some lunch and called into a garden centre to pick up a couple of plants and some seeds.

It was just a really fun, easy going, pleasant morning that I thought I'd share and before I know it I'll be back out the door to collect Sam. I can't wait to get the big guy home safe and sound.

Hope you all are having wonderful days too - I'll be back tonight after I get 'The Man' all settled and comfy.
