Having crossed oceans, circumnavigated continents and survived tsunamis, exploding scooters and even marriage (it's an ongoing thing), Caila and Pieter are traveling life's mysterious walkways ring-adorned-hand-in-hand, hoping to make a difference and never stop smiling.

Continual Palingenesis - Social Media Solutions

Monday, March 31, 2008

Summer to winter, hot to cold.

SA to Canada. For the purpose of immigrating. For the purpose of starting a new home. For the purpose of getting Paul's house ready for the wedding in August. Big tasks, all of them.

And tomorrow is April Fool's Day...

2008 - The Year of the Rat

A freezing, uncharacteristic-for-this-late-in-March wind is blowing outside Nancy's Bakery and soon I have to jump into Godfrey (our "new" Ford Aerostar Sport minivan) to meet with professional gardeners regarding gardening before rugby practice, which we of the Otago Rugby Club need before Sunday's game.



Continual palingenesis indeed. It feels like we tried to squish a lifetime into the last 5 months. From Taiwan to Canada to SA to Canada to USA and back, with a few more USA-and-back's thrown in for good measure. And now, these are our Canadian surroundings and our new life. For a while at least. Until August. Until the Nuptial.
