We got Tink back!

Greetings! We have Tink back! It is nice to have our little home back - especially because it was expensive to fix but not HALF as expensive as we were thinking it might be. New tire, patched radiator, new belts, etc... happy Tink.
AND - we are happy.... we just learned that we can buy a CASE of wine here, as casual vineyard workers, for $30NZ (that's about $25 US). One bottle of Montana's wine is usually around $18 in the stores.....so we are EXCITED about our case of wine. We basically have been trying not to drink any treats with dinner here, in order to save money. We are quite proud of ourselves for sticking to the limited wine/beer plan - but this deal was too good to pass up. YIPEE!
What else...I have to get off this computer soon! BUT - I dream of writing and writing about the people we have met and the sights we have seen. Soon, I promise, this will happen.
Send us emails folks.... we miss our family and friends. We LOVE pictures....
