Everyone had a good time at school,
Carol with reading groups, Joyce individual students and reading, Fran library
work and school office work and Yolanda maths testing. We all had a restful
afternoon, Carol visited the island living store, Joyce home via town, Fran
home to sort out her IPAD and Yolanda a final walk and swim at Muri Beach
Our highlight for the evening was
being picked up at 5.00 with a group of 20 other people to attend a
‘Progressive Dinner Tour’. Our first course was at the Home of Dan and Jane
Kelly who have retired from owning 3 duty free stores. We were give a tour of
their property with talks about the different plants trees and animals they
had. The entrée was Raw tuna marinated in lemon juice and served in Coconut
milk, tomato and spring onion – divine! Also arrowroot, and Pawpaw
with mayonnaise curry. On to the Main course, a beautiful big house on the hill
above the airport and gym with a lovely couple. We prayed before and after the meal. There was lovely pan fried tuna,
salad, kumara, taro, vege sauce, chicken and spinach. Chatting with our tour
driver, he told us that he used to be the chief secretary to a former prime
minister- and this has made him more cynical about politics.
Our dessert stop was with the tour
owners family. His wife and nephew and family hosted us. We had Banana Cake,
chocolate cake, meringue, ice cream, fruit salad and tea and coffee.
All the while at these three homes,
music played and also on the bus we sang many songs to the Ukelele. A great
night was had by all.
