We made a commitment to house sit in Kumeu (pronounced QUE-meu).

We left the beautiful Ponsonby studio and made it way out of town. There is a beautiful bike pathway 90 percent of the way to Kumeu. The last 10 percent is, however, not very nice. It involved riding on the plaved shoulder of a very busy highway and one 200m section (up hill of course) there was NO shoulder, just guide rail!

We waited for a short break in the traffic and made a run for it. Hugging and heaving I made it. Bob continued ahead and I caught up to him.

We have settled in at our house sit. While Gina and Todd are visiting LA, Las Vegas and Hawaii, we will be here taking care of Chico and Baby. American bull Terriers! 4 sheep, well 3 sheep and 1 lamb and 12 gold fish. What a treat!

Beautiful place
