Yes, yes, we do celebrate it this year. We do it in stages and last Sunday was the kick off. We have a "kliek" day, an outing with our friends for over 30 years. This time Maurice and I organised it and we chose a boat trip to see world heritage. None of us has seen it before so time to go. We've seen lifts that take boats to cover the height difference and we travelled in one. I can't explain it very well, I hope you can make something out of it I'll look it up on Wikipedia...
My husband is very interested Leonardo Da Vinci invented the system and the Eiffel tower people cam e to help make it.
On our way to the next event... we make it as comfortable as we can. We had a pic-nic, Maurice and I where making it at 6 a.m. the girls the boys
hmmm, doesn't it look great? For dinner I ate delicious French mussels! Forgot the picture... After all this it is time to drive home, it rained all the way. At home the husbands and kids went fishing, had spaghetie and spend the evening together, so they had lots of fun as well.
Is that the right way too say it? Or maybe working experience from out of school. It starts in February goes untill June, for 4 days a week and the fifth she makes a thesis(??). It is at Continental Airlines ,next to our national airport, where Tim will land in Belgium!
We went looking for a room for Hans, while he studies in Kortrijk, here are the pictures... Later on we'll make new ones after we "dressed" it
The outside Ewout is sleeping on the right corner, Hans is staying at the back. kitchen area
lady on the right is landlady, left one is a friend, her son is on the same floor in number 1 Hans is looking out on a wall, but it will be more quiet then the front, and the price is better for us. It is getting expensive two students!
Jan had won in a contest, on Easter morning an guided tour from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m.. Since I found we could not be separated on that mornng we all went to Antwerp. We would go for a breakfast or a lunch and Jan and Maurice would do the tour. It turned out differently, nobody showed up, only us so we all went. It was another way to spend Easter morning, but it was very nice. Alltough I had 2 grumpy adults at first!
Antwerp from the Schelde
Lunch for 30 people, we ate a bit...
Our Crew, there was more then us, guide, filmcrew, catering!
And today we did start again, and off course when everybody has to go back to school and work there is snow. Huge traffic jams, car problems electricity crashes,....
But also very beautiful
the kids made all together 10 snow men, one even bigger then the other
picture postcards and then the sun came also Tomorrow we excpect - 13 degrees,
brrrrrrrrrrr, luckily I knitted lots of scarfes during the break, all together 8 and a poncho. I did well, even if I say so myself. As soon as there is new wool I will knit one for you, still you won't need it for quiet some time.
Last year and also this year we did a cycling trip. first stop we had the apperitiv.
We where very hungry at 7.30 pm and Rita did make lots of snacks so by the time everybody at soup
take a kg of zuchini, do not peal, cut in pieces take 2 large onions a big fennel 2 chicken stock cubes 2 vegetable stock cubes a knife tip of pilipili set all this under water, only just, Cook and mix or blend, lenghten with milk or cream, delecious soup, bonne appetit!
at my place, we where not hungry any more for the main course It was a rather cold night so once we got nice and warm inside everybody got a bit snoozy, it was a great main course , boeuf bourgignon or stoofvlees and fries, followed by desert after a while
we drink... or not! Lise had a cheeckbone operation, her mouth was to small she could not eat properly, so she had orthondontie(?). 6 months agoo her 4 last teeth( what do you call them, we say wijsheidstanden, teeth of wisdom) where removed and now this operation. Hopefully everything will be okay.
