Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) What made me happy was taking my very first ferry cruise! Had my lovely mom for company The highlight of the trip was my brief visit to the scenic Rangitoto Island Edited December 22, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_Zoso Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What a day Kiwi! Love the pics from far away (for me). What a beautiful place.

I know I'm going out on a limb here...but...you love your mom don't you? Did you enjoy the ferry trip? Awww...thank you! Yes! I enjoyed every minute! It was for about 90 minutes and I was so excited that I even photographed the deck of the ferry! We took a tour of the habour, Queen's Warf, went past Bean Rock lighthouse, caught a glimpse of the naval base but Rangitoto was the highlight! One word to describe that island "breathtaking" And yes! I really love my mom! She means the world to me! How did you guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckjuana Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) That date has a meaning for me too. I found a black cat while playing music in a club uptown (Jan.9th, 2009). When we arrived at the Club (Howlin' Wolf) , "Whole Lotta Love" was on the jukebox. The cat was roaming in and out of the place-looking for attention. The owner said he had been feeding him for a month but couldn't keep him in the club anymore. I asked him if I could take him home after the gig. He was delighted. We properly named him - "Zeppelin" so you adopted a cat on jimmy page's birthday which you called called zeppelin from a club called Howlin Wolf one day before the anniversary of Howlin' Wolf's death. If I was superstitious I would argue that you got the black cat out of there just in the nick of time.

MINI_Zoso Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Kiwi did you happen to get a picture of the Bean Rock light house? It is very old, a great history and, at least for here, very different than ours. My mother, also a Zep fan at 71, is a huge fan of light houses.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 That is so nice, thanks for the photos also. Your a GREAT daughter!!!!!!!!! :-) Thanks Deb! I honestly feel incredibly blessed to have a mom like mine. We are more than a mother-daughter pair. She and I can read each other like a book and our birthdays are barely 24 hours apart and she is pretty much one of my best friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to take a photo of the Bean Rock Lighthouse. The ferry was moving rather quickly at that point and I captured that image in the nick of time! BTW, it is really awesome that your mom is a fan of Zep! Cheers! Here you go: I wish I could have got a closer view though!

I know there are pics of it on the interweb, but when you (sorta) know the photographer it just looks better. I would like to email a copy to my mum.

ebk Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Took my husband out for his 60th birthday dinner (wow - how did that happen? ) Had a marvelous dinner, then a dessert cocktail consisting of Godiva Chocolate liqueur, vodka, and peanut butter. Yes, real peanut butter. It was sooooooooooooo good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Today I found out that I will be checking off an item on my bucket list. Friday I will be volunteering to decorate a Rose Parade float. I will be working on Paramount's float, which has among other items, the Starship Enterprise. Hopefully I will be able to work on that part of the float. I am going with my daughter who has a friend that works at Paramount and is making this happen for us. Afterward she will be dropping me off at a campground which the hubby will hopefully already have set up and waiting for me. Friday will be an exciting day for me. Happy New Year.
