Thank you Yvonne!

My sincere thanks go out to my favorite and only true daughter Yvonne, for making my blog site so incredibly beautiful. This took her many hours she told me.

It is like inviting you into our home every time you visit my blog-site.

And a very welcome to you all, a cup of coffee, Dutch coffee, is brewing for you!

My Delft Blue collection started with this windmill (very expensive right now) you see on the small shelf on the wall, (by the way, Yvonne gave me these two small shelves), just perfect I think. Check out the pictures Yvonne inserted on yesterday's blog.

The windmill I received form a dear family friend who was very good to me as a teenager after my Mom passed away as a 16 year old. Actually, she was the mother of my best friend Willie, who later became my sister-in-law. Her Mom, whom I called, Moeder Maria, (Mother Mary) why? I can't remember, but it just stuck. She passed away in 2004, in her mid nineties as Moeder Maria! It is amazing how some people can have such an impact on your live. I am very grateful for her.

Love Trudy

ps....So, again Yvonne, thank you for doing all this work for me, I am so proud of you and I love you so very much!

Love MOM
