First Installment on my 70th Celebration

Tennant Creek 17th  Sept

Arrived back from NZ on the Greyhound bus from Alice Springs at 2am. from celebrating  my 70th birthday in New Zealand.
What a journey
What fun
What love
As the scrap book says. We do not remember the days  We remember the moments.


What precious memories I have which were lovingly put in a big book which shows some of colour of 70 years.
How much has been brought to life to shine in my memory bank.
Those who journeyed to Marehau for the party.
Those who contributed a page a picture or some words.
Those  pictures  which carry capsulated time in their images.
Thank you. You are part of my journey.
Part of the colourful tapestry,  threads that give depth to the picture of my life. I am grateful you have connected with me somewhere along the journey. That you are still there giving colour and excitement.


On one of the cards Karen gave me at the Auckland airport  (when I was sent solo, which I will share it when I'm more wide awake)
On the card it said your adventure is just beginning ETERNAL JOURNEYMAN .

Thank you for being part of my adventure. I was asked to write down as part of my reflection a favourite  Bible verse. I wrote one then added another this is part of it. referring to God it says;
Who was
Who is
Who is to come
We journey on under the umbrella of eternal love.

Again a big shoutout to you all.
Arohanui
Ian
