A VILLAGE VISIT

While staying at the cottage, we visited the small village of Exloo. This very cute statue was there. We saw another statue of a Gramma and a little girl, but didn't get a picture of that one.
The weather here is just not what I am used to in Holland. It is warmer than home according to George. Today is going to be in the 70's.
Tomorrow the two ladies from England and one from Pennsylvania will arrive. We are going to take a boat trip through Amersfoort. The last time we did that it rained, tomorrow and all week it is supposed to be very nice. Tomorrow evening we are going to one of the places I love best in Holland, the Pancake House. The pancakes are large, flat like crepes and you can get any topping. My favorite is Apple, cinnamon. Yummy.
I don't think I will be posting again until I am back in Ohio. See you all then.

On a much deeper note, my Grandson, Mitch is going to Iraq this week. Please pray he stays safe and the time flys by for him, Kristy, Haali and Mitchell. They are very much in my thoughts.

Hello Nancy,

I know Exloo, we have been there too. I hope you will have some nice days with the English and American friends before you leave! I am glad the weather will be good the coming days.
Saartje is sitting on the wooden chest in the hall. She greets everybody who is passing, but also likes to sit in the garden or in the arms of her big sisters. Of course she will get some applepie, being part of the family ... LOL

Hugs for you and Heidi, Carolien

I'm so glad to hear that you are having such a wonderful time. I am envious of your trip as Holland is on my list of places to visit.

Enjoy those pancakes :)

Nancy said...

It sounds like Holland is having South Carolina weather! It has been in the high 70s here.

What a wonderful statue, and have the time of your life with the ladies!

Stay safe Mitch, and I will keep you in my thoughts.

Have fun Gramma. I just want you to know that I am ok. I know that you are worried and while I am more sad than ever right now, I also know that everything is going to be ok! Thanks for your support and love!

And of course we will pray for Mitch and the family!
