Time Changes

Hey there, just a quick note.  I do get asked a lot about what the time difference is between Minnesota and New Zealand.   For those of you we sykpe with often, I know you are getting it down, but it has changed, and will be changing again.  So,  before daylights savings time we were 19 hours ahead (or Minnesota was 5 hours ahead, but one day behind).  Well, now you are 6 hours ahead (one day behind).  And, come middle of April we go off of daylight savings and will "fall" back... making you 7 hours ahead of us (one day behind).    Got it?  Remember the biggest difference is that we are one day ahead here.

Example:

New Zealand, 7:00 A.M. on Wednesday, March 16th =  Minnesota,  1:00 P.M. on Tuesday, March 15th.
(so, don't even think of calling before 1:00pm, or, after mid april, 2:00 P.M.)

or, more importantly

MONDAY, AUGUST 15th (NZ) =  SUNDAY, AUGUST 14th (MN) .... wouldn't want any of you feeling bad that you missed my birthday.
....but you can send me a package as cute as this anytime of the day.
