Little Green Riding Hood

I went as Little Green Riding Hood to last night's costume party.

24

I woke up this morning and chopped off my hair. It has been bothering me for a while.

My sister got married last Saturday at the Rogers Rose Garden French Steps and reception in Chartwell Square Room.

We got our hair put up at Absolutely Hair and make up at Absolute Beauty.

I got French Manicure and Pedicure with OPI 'Mauving to Manitoba'.

I only took pictures on the way to the venue. This is outside their new place.

The ceremony was simple and with a few friends and family. Reception dinner was buffet. The Tauranga band DV8 played awesome music. Guests boogied the night away!

I turned 24 on Sunday but was too sick to celebrate.

This morning I overhauled my hair. Now it is short at the back and a sloping bob at the front.

I am nervous about tomorrow. I have to do a five minute speech. Most of the contents are sorted.

When you have guest coming over and neverending tasks a ready mixed dessert can be a good idea.

I made brownies for today's occasion.

Random quote of the day:

A day without a perdurable is like a day without sunshine

Taitua Arboretum

We just went for a walk in Taitua Arboretum. The roosters greeted us expecting food.

I named the circle of rocks down in the paddocks 'Pebblehenge'.

Rocks strategically placed throughout pathways let visitors admire the vista.

This is the obligatory pastoral scene.

My sister told me this flower thriving at the end of the walk is a foxglove.

Location

Taitua Arboretum is off Howden Road, State Highway 23. 20 minutes from Hamilton city centre.

I did some driving practice. It was scary on the highway and some cars passed me. I should have learned driving in high school!
