Pepper and I went to a park in Rotorua
and I was amazed to see these black swans had never seen this color of swan before
The memories of my trip to NZ and Australia will live in my heart forever...
One thing that struck me above all else is the total honesty and forthrightness of the people in this part of the world - they are straight shooters overall.... and they know how to make a person feel welcome....none of my friends have had life easy along the way - but they have learned how to rise above circumstances and have had  the courage to face what life sends their way.
I was truly honored to spend time with each and everyone of them and honored to meet some of their friends -
Pepper, Gary and Margaret, Jude and Lee,
Teddy, Kayla, Ben, Pauline and family -
Jackie and Glenn, Robyn, Kathy
Thank you All from the bottom of my heart.
