Back home again with lots of memories!
This was taken at the Airport just before I left.
Smiling on the outside.
The girls wanted to come along with me to Canada.
This is Nico, isn't he adorable? Well, at least I think so!
Just fooling around with Oma!
I always like to leave something special so that I will not be forgotten.
These chairs are a miniature of the furniture we have.
The girls were absolutely thrilled with this set
This is Eliana in one of her special poses
I am not sure this guy is related to me, or is he?
Here we were at a restaurant in Raleigh where they serve the best lettuce wraps, hmmmm
My gorgeous daughter-in-law Jennifer. She is like the energizer bunny, always on the go. Makes me tired just to watch her. Besides shopping for wholesome foods, she home-schools the girls, bakes her own bread and makes baby food. Carries a big binder with coupons when grocery shopping. On one trip she saved 30%. Yet she finds the time to bring Paul his lunch.
Paul said: "I married her for her looks, but she came with lots of bonuses!"

Thank you both for giving me a wonderful time!

My trip
.jpg)
Tomorrow I'll be going on a trip to North Carolina to see the kids Paul, Jennifer and their little ones. I'll be back next Tuesday since I don't like to leave my sweetheart alone for too long.
They are looking forward to it especially the girls. We see them regularly on the web cam. Sammie who is eight has her own computer and dials in almost every day (when she notices that I am on line). I always tell her how pretty she looks, then she'll throw her hair backwards, that means:...Yes I know!!!!!!
Eliana who is three, feels the need to tell Opa how much she misses him, that is so endearing!
I have been taking it really easy to nurse my back to normal, no exercises and I stopped the walking. It has been almost four weeks since my fall. I am not really looking forward to the sitting in the plane and during my three hour lay over.
Ted and I both got our H1N1 flu shot yesterday. We went to a church, which held a clinic, there was no line up but it still took us about an hour. They keep you for 15 min for observation as well.
I will post a couple of lines when I am away and afterwards some pictures, taking our camera along of course.

Get a haircut
There we were, in the middle of a statewide meeting for ministry leaders when the pastor of a large church leaned over and said to me, “You know, Joe, your hair is too long for you to be able to sing in my choir!” Can you say with me, what!
Something to think about!!

Math Is Not Hard: A Simple Method That Is Changing The World
"Math is the easiest subject for kids to learn."
Say what?
Yup, that's what John Mighton believes. And he's got everything he needs to back up this counter-intuitive assertion.
Let's start with the commonly-held view..........
Take a look!
With Ted being very unstable on his legs and me after my fall, we both had a very difficult time getting up and down the steps without a rail. The one I fell off/on/from! (Whatever!)
So we mentioned this to Ron, (our handy man). He happened to have a white steel railing in his garage. He painted it brown came over with a drill, screws etc, and voila, a very happy Mom and Dad
Thank you Ron for doing that for us. Thank you Lynne for allowing your husband to leave you on your Saturday family day.
It is perfect!
Hekkie is a Dutch name!
