CURRENT MISSION

To love and enjoy life, to show compassion and concern for others, to be free with what we have

ABOUT ME

We are a christian couple in our early fifties, who have three grown daughters in their twenties.
Over the years we have had many people come through our home, we love having people stay, and we like making them feel welcome.
We are easy going and accepting of others opinions, and are happy to discuss our own.

PHILOSOPHY

People are basically good.
Show love for those around you, and be concerned for those who are powerless to help themselves.
Treat others how you would like to be treated.
This planet is the only one we have, we should be looking after it better than we are!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list, but I am love classic rock like Queen, easy listening classics like Paul Simon. Of late, my tastes have gone a bit poppy, enjoying bands like Coldplay and Fur Patrol.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well life has been pretty amazing. We are currently enjoying welcoming mokopuna (grandchildren) into our Whanau (family) which is an amazing experience.

On the travel front, we spent 9 weeks freedom traveling through China in mid winter, and got to be on the great wall all by ourselves for three hours. That was awesome.
