I am sure there are a few members wondering what has become of me:eek::eek:

I have moved from New Zealand to New Jersey. I did the long flight on Wednesday this past week, 23 hours of flying time. The kids and I are doing good. Experiencing some serious jet leg, feels like I need to be pinched it feels so unreal that I am actually back in the USA. So much has changed here, I am afraid to drive..LOL

All my clay and pen kits are inside a container on a vessel headed this way they say it may take a few months. SOOO I dont think I will be able to do pens for a while.

I know this is quite the surprise I will try to check in as often as I can, I have missed the forum and my friends!!

Toni,

Happy to hear of your safe return to New Jersey. Apart from the natural disaster your sojourn in New Zealand shows how others live peacefully in incredibly beautiful places. Noted your comments on traffic there are so many other comparisons coming to remind you.

As you settle back in I want you to know we have really enjoyed your contributions on the forum, your willingness to share is noted and complements your work.

Being an ex pat anywhere always creates separation with some wistfull longing, having travelled extensively there is no place like home however my real love was seeing, greeting, learning so much from all the cultures.

In Australia any form of competition with the Kiwis is front line news we are both the best of friends and arch enemies on the field. The first time we travelled to the Nth Island it was an education in itself the largest container of ice cream was a small cup here but there it could be gallons (so much larger than the US gallon) it rained part of every day, there were hedges instead of fences. Everything was in pounds sterling so we lost 5 shillings in every pound (my how that is reversed now), this was in 1962. Part of my Mums family emigrated there in the 1800,s and I met with a cousin from Hawkes Bay.

My wish for your health and safety together with yours.

Kind regards Peter.
 
New Jersey....really? Not the first place I'd think about moving to, but I wish you all the best there!!!

Hopefully you will recover in time for Totally Turning 2012. It would be good to have more than just your pens there!
 
Welcome back, Toni, to the good ol' USA.
What's wrong with Jersey? you ask. Much easier to say what's right with Jersey. Hummm, let's see. Ah yes! Toni is back! That is it.

Welcome home, both to the USA and IAP. :wink: I'be been busy here in Eastern PA and just got back to the computer. Good to see you here again.
Do a good turn daily!

Welcome back. I am glad that your trip back with your children went well. I am also glad that you survived the horrific earthquake in New Zealand.
Hopefully the container with your things won't take too long to arrive. Nice to see you on the forum.
