Catching Up #1


Watched a bit of "Nurse Jackie" (on TV) last night and it was something the one doctor said about losing his son... something like: "time doesn't heal you, it just takes from you!" Wow!
So, I sort of gotta thinking..... damn, I must update all my blogs (because it makes me happy) and stop doing things that doesn't matter! 

Because, it's true! In my opinion - time takes from us and doesn't give anything back... except memories and experiences! So, we should create more opportunities to have more good memories and fun experiences. It becomes part of us and maybe something we can take with us when we leave this earth!

September it will be a year since moving to NZ. We've experienced many emotions, stress, positive and negative things, fun things, depro sessions, illness, extreme tiredness, sleepless nights and some really good social evenings with people that have enriched our lives. Taking the good with the bad ;-).

Flip, it's tough moving countries, but we believe this is where we should be - at this point in "time", so, we have to make the best of it! Otherwise we would have gained nothing!

So, here are some photo's of The Louw's shuffling around Wellington / Kapiti Coast region, NZ... March / April '15.

Celebrating my Dad's birthday - together for the
first time in 10yrs!

Upper Hutt, Wellington, NZ - Somewhere in the
Akatarawa Forest. Bare hills after all the Pine trees
 were chopped off.

Ben and Dylan looking at bicycles
with very big off-road tyres!

Ingrid eating a NZ version of a hot dog.

The race begins... thinking of our friend, Brendan Hindes,
in SA. He would have loved taking on this challenge!

Blackberries everywhere - you can never go hungry
in NZ.

Picnic time - somewhere along the Hutt River.

Imaginary fly fishing... practising my rhythm ;-).

Hutt River. I love this pic.
