Life in the New Zealand Countryside

• Monday, January 15, 2007 - Recent Happenings

Well the house is coming along nicely. Today hubby knocked a wall out in the kitchen, it really opens the space up and gets rid of some of the bad energy I felt in there. I had originally wanted a kitchen made in the dining room, but due to lack of space and of course theres the extra $$ in doing that, we have decided to go with the old kitchen, as it already has the water pipes etc, and make use of that.
We also ripped out the wall paper in bedroom 2 and the weird long room which we thought to make into a mini bathroom also went. Its heaps better and just enough I think to make it seem 'new'.
On another note, hubbys grandfather passed away on the 7th so we went down south to Mami's house to attend the funeral and give her some support, as she will be all alone in the house now. It was stressful to say the least, not only because the mood was justifiably depressing but the difference in lifestyle is just to big of a bridge to gap. Its hard to explain exactly what it is. I didnt grow up with this close family network thing and am totally unaccustomed to it. Aside from that we eat totally different from them and our ideas on healthy living are worlds apart. I did find some raw milk in the grocery shop though so that was a plus. You cant find it here. While we were there, Syami took his first steps and has begun to walk. Hes 13 months old. I sent a little video of it to my mum in Nz and she said she cried when she saw him. How much she is missing .... its not something that makes me happy.

About Me

I love the simple and slow life, not living by your watch and taking pleasure in the small things. Drop by for a while.....;-)
