Nice to be home!



Well my trip is over and had a great time. Mike, Katharine and James were great hosts and treated the Mother special. Trip home eventful -Delta agent sent me to wrong gate (marked on the ticket) and after spending about 15 minutes looking to see why I was only one there, walked back to find someone who would know where I should go. Two gates down they were just about to start boarding and I showed agent my pass. He immediately put me in front of line and all was well. I was able to download my pictures today and will post some. Dad did fine while I was away and finally is over his cough. Right now he is out putting some stuff on his weeds. Spring is here - 77 degrees today. I need to learn how to have pictures and then caption. Mike and Kat in Enschede while we were out checking out town on Monday. We did not know nothing opens on Monday till noon so we just did some sightseeing. Other one is large church in Amsterdam , very old and very large. Took this from across the street while waiting for canal boat.

Visit to The Netherlands


Well, I made it here and Mike and Kat were right. The weather here is changeable by the minute. Sun could be out and next you look it is raining, sleeting and very windy. Having a wonderful time, enjoying my visit. Took a canal ride on Thursday thru Amsterdam, very relaxing. On Saturday went to a local castle in Delden with their friend Kristin and her two girls. I had never seen a castle with a moat - very interesting and educational. We were all able to get into her Honda van -nice to have friend like that. These pictures are some that Michael took since I cannot download mine. I left my wire at home, live and learn. Picture of canal and a houseboat of which there are many along the canal. Beautiful ones and some not so. People even have gardens on their boats. Pretty ride and also educational. More to follow.......
