The Tank
Brent's Tank is for sale it's causing quite a stir here in the stockcar world - rumour has it someone has brought it in Auckland & he is getting phone calls asking if people can come around & see it. Brent has two guys wanting it - it's a race to see who can book the first flight & get their money out of their pocket the first.
It's one of Brent's life's regrets selling it - He really hasn't got the time to race it any more - you race Saturday night & then Sunday & evenings you spend fixing it.
A warm welcome to our families daily
blog. "Living The Good Life"
We are a family of four & I’m the
luckiest girl I know! Married to my best friend for over 21 years, raising two
wonderful children on our 3 acre farmlet in New Zealand.
I was a Bank Manager in previous life
(before kids) and now a kept women - home schooling our two kids. Brent
is a Service Projects Manager and brings home the bacon for the family.
We got
"off the bus" ie away from continual comsumption & accumulation of
material goods & find much joy in living a simple life.
I enjoy writing & sharing views on
living a simple life, menu planning, living on one income in a two income world,
home schooling, dyslexia, severe food allergies, raising coloured sheep, goats
& hens, quilting, reading, cooking, gardening and of course cats.
"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

The
best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
