On a Lighter Note

Hope everyone's roofs and houses are still intact after the big storm in Auckland (great timing for starting your renovations Andree and Brent, am sure Maria and Rob's renovations started in a big storm as well. I seem to remember their house was up on temporary piles).
Anyhow, as I was browsing through the NZ Herald http://www.nzherald.co.nz/ , I found these little gems in Sideswipe.

"It's a miracle, this stuff Reallllly works...." Yeah Right !!!

And America's answer to Kath and Kim ??



Thank you Ana Samways. While I was browsing at the Grannies I stumbled across this other little gem, who remembers this beauty of an ad...

ISA LEI FLORA

We have had a very sad day today, our lovely smelly old dog Flora had to be put down. Flora was a special girl who touched the lives of many. So I thought it would be nice to pay a small tribute to her today.



I think Grace has put it best with the few words she wrote:

To flora,
I will always remember you, and how you became a member of the family.
You are a very special dog, because you are family to so many families. I will always remember when we came home from New Zealand or an island, you would run up to the gate, tail wagging and a smile on your sweet face, or whenever we went down to the beach all the dogs would start barking and you would just walk through tail up in the tail and a smile on your face. You are so funny always refusing to have a bath and when you go in the sea you roll in horse pooh afterwards.
I will miss you sooo much and so will so many other people.

Remember you always
Grace
