Lately

The last week we have just been hanging around laying low. Since we got back from our trip to Taupo our goal has been to chill and save some money. However that doesn't mean we haven't had any fun. Dave got a really great deal on a short term golf membership at the local course so we are there a few days a week. Dave has really improved his game with all the practice he has been getting. Since Jill has been spending so much time watching Dave play, she decided it is time to learn to play herself. She took a lesson with Caroline Bon and played her first game of golf on Wed the 9th. Well it was actually only 4 holes, but it was still her first time. She surprised herself with how well the first day went.

Unfortunately a few weeks ago, our friend Jason who we have been fishing with, wrecked his boat and sent it to the grave, so we haven't been out on the water lately. He did get a new boat a couple of days ago, so he and Dave are working on getting it ready to go into the water. Hopefully we will be out fishing in it sooner than later. We did go out rock fishing one day this week, but we didn't get any keepers. Dave caught a couple fish that were to small and Jill gave up and enjoyed the scenery instead.

The weather here is getting warmer and sunnier! We are excited to be wearing shorts now and getting a bit of a tan. It can certainly still get chilly on overcast days and at night, but we are glad to have put the coats away. We get the morning sun on our deck, so we like to sit outside and play dice, read, or whatever else.

Other than that... we are just enjoying ourselves in this wonderful place!
