Tennis at the Renouf Centre

dear Tiana,


I loved my first tennis lesson. It was so cool. Thankyou for recommending me. Briony came with me. I was the only girl and the only newbie... so I had an instructor all to myself. We tried putting a ball onto the racket, then he would bounce the ball and Briony and I would hit it, from the back line, then we'd move up a metre and do the same again and then up to the net, where I'd get to throw balls over it.


It was so much fun and I get to go back again next Sunday.


loves

p.s. this is a shag down in Westport from when  I went to visit Grandma and Grandad at the beginning of the school holidays

Mojo Risers

dear Grandma and Grandad,

I hope the rain doesn't wash you all away. It must be funny living on an island. Westport with all three roads in and out, flooded. I have just come back from the Island to start school again.

On Saturday night, Kelly, Daddy, mummy and I went to listen to the Blues at Stefanos. We had pizza first and then the music started at 9.00pm. Kelly got tired at 10.30. And Daddy got tired at 11.30. I would have been happy to have stayed till midnight. Mojo Risers played lots of blues and other songs. I was able to stand in a corner on a chair and dance along. I loved it.

Ready for school

dear Alan,

I'm looking forward to swimming. I miss it very much. Today I did gardening with Daddy. He built a new vege garden and I helped with all the tools available including emptying fertiliser (empty bags) onto the dirt. He would'nt give me his glove so I went and found the garden shed and got one out of there. Trouble is he didn't know I had gone there and panicked thinking I had gone out to the street. Silly Daddy.

see you soon,

loves

Rosie

Racoons

dear Chelle,

This is such a yummy photo of the racoons at your place. I wish I could have seen them. Last night I went to my godmother's place.. Glenda. We went on the boat and then went to pick up Billy the dog from Barkley Manor. http://barkleymanor.co.nz/ When we went in the door, there were windows on the side of the room to the right and you could see over 50 little dogs in it. It was the most fantastic sight I've ever seen. Then one of the teachers came and brought a dog out for me to pat.. and then another one. It was just sooooo cool.

loves

Holidays

dear Hope and Ross,

Thanks for coming to visit and thankyou for the very cool red coat for my birthday. It goes so well with the black beret that U. Don and A. Julia gave me. On Saturday Bill got up very early to take mummy and I to the airport. When we arrived, Jetstar said that they weren't travelling and so we had to rebook for Sunday morning. Luckily we didn't book on the early flight on Sunday as they cancelled that as well.

Now I'm on the island for the week, enjoying my time with Julian and being looked after by the elders.

lots of loves

Rosie
