I will be taking a break from active posting for a while. My mother-in-law is going to need a lot of help moving into some kind of assisted living after her hospital stay. My husband is not taking the situation well, and he needs attention and care, as do my children. I've enjoyed posting on Intensity. Some of you remind me of people I've encountered in real life. :) I wish you all the best and hope to catch up with you sometime further down the track.
As mentioned elsewhere I hope it works out well SD  :crossed: and I'll be happy to see you when you get back.

I've checked out of my Hotel room and I'm going to Burger King and then to turn in my rental car and hang out at the Airport until 9 pm local time to fly out. Today I found my Dad a nephrite jade necklace of a Moari teardrop symbol representing their creation mythology. My Dad (step dad technically ) is part American Indian and he really likes the Turquoise, Coral and
Silver Southwestern style jewelry so this will fit his style well. I also picked myself up a Whalebone piece for a necklace that has the same teardrop motif combined with a fish hook symbol
that represents a Moari demi God who fished a big fish out of the water to create the North Island. I thought the Jade cost a bit until I priced the whalebone. But since no one on New Zealand hunts Pilot Whales and they don't wash up on shore often and the piece is carved by one of their better known artists I figured I had better get it. It is beautiful and I'll probably only wear it on special occasions. Right now I am looking forward to getting home and unwinding, but I am happy that I made this trip especially the overnight and Helicopter ride at Taupo. Taupo area is so beautiful I want to go back.

Sadly, the issue of finding assisted care for my mother-in-law is now moot. Her illness got the best of her, and she died this morning. :( Thank you everyone who posted kind thoughts earlier.

Also pleased to hear you've had a good time in the land of the long white cloud, PPK. Coming away with beautiful treasures and good memories, nothing better. Someday I hope to get there myself and have a look around. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know it is difficult to lose someone you are close to.

Thank you, Hyke. Sad occasion, but as a result of it, we are making contact with friends and family that we have not seen for ages. Silver linings and all that. :)

I try to enjoy visiting at Funerals as well. Since you already have to deal with the loss getting some good out of it is appropriate.
