Jack and Margaret are the cutest couple. We love to go visit them. They are both so sharp, and they drive back and forth to Omeru, where they have another home. They are so interesting! They are avid newspaper readers, and they cut out all the articles about Mitt Romney for us!
We just love them!
I was going to title this the "Three Stooges", but decided I'd better not! These are two great friends of ours, Jack and Derek. The both make us laugh alot! Posing for a picture was a real trial for them! After I snapped the first picture, they thought that was more than enough! They were both born in the same house, 5 months apart, and are 83 yrs old. The old guy in the middle is mine!
Our friend Rommel and his two sons, took us fishing in the ocean and each of us caught a shark! His wife had packed a picnic for us too! It was a fun "last day" in NZ for the boys! Thank you, Rommel!
Sister Johnston and her family, had an unveiling of the headstone on her husbands grave, one year after he passed away. They had a little program, President Pongia gave a nice talk, and so did Sister Johnston's son Kent, who was recently made a bishop in Christchurch. We sang three hymns, and then had a lovely luncheon ("tea"). President Johnston had been the branch president for 9 years in Ashburton, when he died suddenly of a heart attack. Everyone loves him and his wife and family. They are wonderful! His mother was able to attend, and also many other family and dear friends.
