Jen- Life is good. I've been reading your posts, and glad that things are going well.

Let's see, I can't remember if I told you that I have a new man and am madly in love? Anyway, he is hot, younger than me, and adores me.

If you get a chance, can you check out Lildoggie's thread? She lives in your country - somewhere out with the cows, and is at the brink of recovery. Right now, she is singing to herself.

Hey lildoggie, pleased to meet you. I'm one of those dreaded JAFAs. Born and bred. blush

A JAFA?? We have nothing to say to each other

I'm in the 'Naki. No sheep here, just those cows.
Which bit of Auckland do you live in? WH grandmother lives in Mt Roskill sort of. We were there about 4 weeks ago. Still way too many cars. Can't any of you walk???

For the benefit of our American friends. JAFA stands for Just Another F***ing Aucklander. We like to think it stands for Just Another Friendly Aucklander. wink

Yes, Jen, it was cows. You can't milk SHEEP. Or can you?

My new gentelman caller is not the one waiting in the wings. I met my new one last year, and he is a keeper.

B, that last remark cracked me up. laugh

So, you've found a keeper. I knew you would. Someone like you deserves every bit of happiness that comes your way.

When you say "younger", er, how much younger? shocked shocked

Jen - He is 5 years younger. At first I thought he was too young, but now I don't notice it.

Our only problem is that he has to be gone a lot in his job. He works in construction contracts and the agency is short handed, so they are always sending him off somewhere. The first time it was for 3 months in Washington DC, and this time it is for one month.

I've been to Auckland. I remember the flower clock. I think we drove by a university. Ate at Bonaparte's. Long time ago, though. That's not desirable. Maybe we didn't drive by a university. It's been a really long time.

My paternal grandfather was younger than his wife. His oldest son was younger than his wife. The middle son (my dad) was younger than his wife. The youngest son was older than his wife. The Diplomat is younger than me. It must run in my family. (OOPS, x is younger than wife #2.)

LOL, you drove past my place of work. smile I had my 21st dinner at Bonaparte's. It's not there any more but the flower clock is still in the park. I see it every time I have lunch in the park (which is just opposite my place of work). wink
