The package (my urgent passport renewal application) has landed in the United Kingdom and at 9.13 London time it was delivered to the New Zealand Passport Office. Thank you FedEx!
So we have gained HALF a day. I just spoke to a lovely New Zealand girl in London and they are going to try and get the passport out their door by this afternoon. It was only at the end of the phone call that she realised that the wedding was THIS Saturday. Oh? Oh! she said as it dawned on her the urgency of the situation. Hearing her lovely New Zealand accent was a smile in itself.
What was also lovely was that when she checked with her associate to see if they needed anything, she called across her room “Do we need anything else for Cecilia’s passport?” They called me by my name. Isn’t that just gorgeous. So hopefully nothing goes awry and they will send it with NZ kisses straight back out the door this afternoon. Your magic is working! Like winged jugglers you are keeping my package aloft and moving.
It will be couriered by DHL across the sea and back to the USA and my girl in the NZ passport office will email me the tracking number. Maybe today. Maybe. Then we will wait again.
And we will wait without watching.
And maybe, just maybe.
I cannot say the words. They are too heavy. But just Maybe. As Senior Son Sam (who began his journey from New Zealand to Canada only hours ago) said “I have a good feeling”.
Eldest Son in Canada who will be married on Saturday whether I am there or not, thank goodness, is saying very little. I think he is holding his breath.
Good morning.
I made a haystack with all my excess energy yesterday. Sheila was very helpful. It is not a very good haystack, but it will do.
Have a lovely day. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.

Such a good-news post! I hope all the legal stuff continues to work out for you.
Omm 🙂
I am keeping fingers and toes crossed and prayers going up for your passport arrival. I had to renew mine when we were in Austalia and I was so scared after I sealed it up and sent it to Sydney that I would never see it again but they took very good care and all arrived back in my hands safely. I am thinking positively about yours!!! Keep the faith!
ohhhuu! still crossing all fingers and toes!
GOOD LUCK!
