We had a huge feijoa at the bottom of our garden that was always dripping with fruit. Our freezer was always full of them and one of the first desserts I ever made for my husband in our 'new' home was feijoa crumble. Also at that same home our neighbour had a huge boat in his backyard which he was restoring. It towered over the fence and blocked out our sunlight! It took him so long to restore we nicknamed him Noah and then one year it rained every day for 40 days - I am not kidding, it was the Waikato after all! We half expected him to launch it then but no! Sounds like your lovely launch will be ready in record time!<br />How I wish time could stand still. It seems to speed up the older I get! I don't have much time to blog these days but still enjoy keeping up with the blogs I follow and as yours is the only Kiwi blog I follow I do drop by whenever I am able! I have a busy week ahead.. I am preparing for a bridal fair next weekend and still working out every last detail for my table.. china, flowers, linen etc.Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-8608558714840137372014-05-03T16:13:46.490+12:002014-05-03T16:13:46.490+12:00The verse from John's gospel that you featured...The verse from John's gospel that you featured is one of my favourites.

Resurrection in many forms.<br />Pieter's birthday on April 23 for being an American Citizen, he celebrated his 21st this year and than on April 29 his real birthday. Like you, I wish I could hold on to certain days and let them linger a bit longer... But now, that is impossible and look; two days of May have passed already.<br />Hugs to you and happy weekend!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-37684866795755381402014-05-03T12:42:17.361+12:002014-05-03T12:42:17.361+12:00I would say you have had many glorious moments -- ...I would say you have had many glorious moments -- and the photos to help remember them by -- all lovely!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-64716989115923680092014-05-03T12:04:26.798+12:002014-05-03T12:04:26.798+12:00Thank you for sharing some of your special memorie...Thank you for sharing some of your special memories with your lovely photo vignettes dear Shane ♥ I am with you on time flying by all too quickly...<br />Happy May to you and yours<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-85679552200850640612014-05-03T10:47:53.660+12:002014-05-03T10:47:53.660+12:00Beautiful photos Shane - I do so love your collage...Beautiful photos Shane - I do so love your collages that you put together so well.
