Through The Tulips

Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now after hearing about this senseless act of killing and injuring innocent by-standers who were waiting for a glimpse of the Dutch Royal family as they passed along the parade route in their motorcade in the Dutch City of Appeldoorn. My thoughts and prayers are with not only [...]

I’m still not feeling quite right-  not sick, but yet not how I know I should be feeling.   I’ve decided that I need a little extra rest and relaxation, so I skipped the work out today, plus Marcel is working tonight, so that leaves me to spend the evening home alone.  I put on my [...]

Today has been one of those odd type of days.  I woke up with a little trickle in my throat and have spent part of the day feeling achy and, for lack of a better word- whiney.   Luckily, Marcel has been wonderful, and supportive in every way. I managed to push myself to work out, [...]

Is it just me, or has this weekend flown past? It seems like I blinked my eyes and we went from Friday to Sunday. Do not pass go- Do not collect $200.00. Maybe Saturday sort of faded off into Sunday, because I spent most of the day cleaning yesterday. It wasn’t exactly how I wanted [...]

In spite of being busy most of the day playing catch-up on domestic duties, I did manage to get a few more photos together from our adventures in the tulip fields earlier this past week. It has been a busy, but productive day, and I’ve managed to check everything off my ‘to do around the [...]

Yesterday when Anna & I were headed towards the train station, where we would part ways and head to our prospectove homes, we passed the old City Hall, which apparently has become “the” place to wed on Fridays. In front of the building was a parade of parked cars, and leading the pack was a [...]

I finally had a chance to go through a few of the photos from our trip to the tulip fields earlier this week.  I’ll share a few now, and since I took about 150 that day, I can easily say I have more to share, including some macro shots of other floral subjects, that I’ll [...]

I know.. I know.. I promsed to share photos of yesterdays tulip adventures, but it looks as though another day has passed and left me with not a whole lot of time to spend online.   I did actually get the photos uploaded from the memory card, and hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a chance to share [...]

Every single year when ‘tulip time’ rolls around, that song pops into my head.  I sing it again and again and again, but lucky for you, you can’t hear me.   Marcel, on the other hand, has been ‘blessed’  with that lovely sound from time to time.   I sound worse than Tiny Tim, if such a [...]

I only have a few moments, so todays entry is going to be a short one, but I wanted to make sure that I wrote a very special “THANK YOU” to my  dear friend Judy, who sent me a package filled with Steel-Cut Oats and the most beautiful notecard that she’d written a personal note [...]
