3rd	4th	5th
1971	Jo asked Epi which "house" Ghetto was in, thinking is was a nickname for a boy.
1973	Bob H stayed overnight. We played darts in the afternoon and he left around 3PM.
1978	Wairoa Gorge with Aldies, my mother and Doug's mother and the dogs. Kids enjoyed playing in the warm stream. Trish, Doug and Rahni swam. Beethoven and Jesse enjoyed themselves. (photo - video)
1983	F - Went to Hills, MN to Gail's aunt Kay's (5 hour drive). Meal then the adults went to Lake Wilson (50 miles). Watched basketball game against the Chandler-Lake Wilson Mustangs. Jeff (guard for Hills Patriots) shot twice and missed both. They won 84 - 57. Bob is stat keeper. Good team but not much variety in plays.
1984	Sa - Barb and Mike came over with their new puppy, Tigger. Jeff, Mike, the kids and I went to gym to take some shots. Met the coach, Hugo Goehl and had a good workout. I went to Souix Falls with Bob to get lumber for a doghouse. 3rd worst blizzard blew in (75mph) stranding Kay, Barb and Jeff overnight at Magnolia Steakhouse. Mike got caught in it on way home from Souix Falls and ended up staying in a stranger's house with 11 other stranded drivers.
1989	Watched Belinda Cordwell win semi-final Nutrametics tennis match. Amazingly, we gave the boys their first ice cream cone. As little David, aka "loo-boy", says "buel buel" (beautiful). Mom sent a charactiture of Bob.
1990	Ne and I picked up the Schauers at the airport. Coffee outside catching up on StPaul Co friends. Tour of yard followed by lunch. Hunua for the Cossey Dam to falls trek. Gail went halfways with dogs then drove around to pick us up. Very crowded and about 100 swimming. Took Ponga Road back and had spectacular views of harbour.	Lancewood
1998	W - Couple girls were trying to get into B6 and when I told them to get lost they told me they were the Journalism teachers!
2004	Brought Yuki to Rosehill College to visit Dawn McIntyre. Met Dave Ormandy (now without moustache). The two techs (crammed into a small closet space) showed me the 6 servers where I had installed the first one back in '98. Many changes - no hallways and more buildings. Yuki then went to the Moore's across the road.
2013	M - Doris and Terry over for the first time. Doris is non-stop story teller.
2023	Sa - Drove the new mower to 34OC and even with the small blade it still takes less than 10 minutes to do the whole thing. Removed bricks from bbq area, weeded and pruned. Played a couple games of Finca.
