Ty for sharing some post earthquake pics....Hi Marj<br /><br />Ty for sharing some post earthquake pics. NZ is still beautiful and the fact that you are able to share with the world images of your country speak volumes -- you are alive so there is much hope to be optimistic for the future. Global warming is at the heart of all the upheaval in mother nature. I know that NZ will rebuilt again her phoenix will rise again more beautiful, and yes my wish to revisit NZ is still upmost in my mind because life is for living, not running or hiding...devastation is worldwide but the sun keeps on shining... we'll take the good with the bad and keep on smiling.<br /><br />Cheers my friendPaterika Hengreaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296611217840599396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-57401413413447584612011-07-12T19:57:54.768+12:002011-07-12T19:57:54.768+12:00Pity to hear that it is not the best time for you:...Pity to hear that it is not the best time for you:( <br />I hope all the constructions will be reconstrued soonOlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974463440732558398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-947652240489943072011-07-10T12:57:41.679+12:002011-07-10T12:57:41.679+12:00What a wonderful post!
