Jason waved and took his cap of, hahaha! No..... I did not see it but Yvonne told me.
They are having a blast. Jason wonders why the heck we would move from a place so beautiful to a place like Winnnipeg!
Good question!
If you read Ted's blog , he will tell you why he came to Canada. He came to Canada to forget, if you'd ask him, "what", he'll answer you, "he forgot", hahaha! You better go read it and you'll find the real reason. He is writing a memoir for our children and grandchildren.
Why did I come? Love! Yes I gave up everything to marry him. Since it has been 49 + years, no I have not been sorry. (yet).
Do I like to go back to Holland? Yes for sure, only for a visit though. Just to walk around there, see my family. Eat some of the food. There is something about Holland you have to experience, and that is what Jason is doing right now. He loves it out there!
This evening (of course that is seven hours ago), my sister Bertie's daughter and her husband are taking them to an Authentic Dutch Pancake restaurant. They make such a variety it is difficult to make up your mind.
Tomorrow will be an other day of sight seeing for them. I have been praying almost nonstop for it to stay dry. Haarlem's forecast has been 50% rain all week. But just like here in Winnipeg, the weather girls are full of beans, hahaha! Can't depend on them that's because I am making it so hard for them with all my praying, hahaha! Ron and Lynne and the grandchildren are camping out at Manhattan's camp in her parents trailer. They can do without rain as well. I have been busy, busy, busy!
I did not mention yet that we bought a scooter for Ted. Now he wants to go out all the time. It is one you can take apart, which is not easy, but definitely doable.
This afternoon we were at Walmart's McDonalds the scooter got stuck between the tables. So I sat on the scooter to back it up, all the while this scooter making this beeping sound like heavy duty construction machinery. (Who knows you might ram in to somebody!) Of course the whole restaurant was looking at us. I laughed and said to a few people close by: "Ever noticed how cranky most people look in wheelchairs and such? (They nod yes!) Now is this fun or what!" As we walked on, at least I walked, I said to Ted: "People must think what a lucky guy you are to have such a beautiful daughter!" Except I said it in Dutch, which sound a lot funnier.
One problem we have, you go out and you end up spending money for things you might have been able to do without.

I could tell that you did a lot of praying Mom, we had PERFECT weather. It was gorgeous every day and hot. We were in the pool almost every afternoon and the mornings and the evenings were so beautiful. Did you pray that we would have no mosquitoes either? Ron saw 1 the whole time and I only felt a few when it was past 11:00 at night one of the nights. I couldn't believe this was Manitoba. Maybe mosquitoes in Manitoba are a thing of the past. Well . . . let's hope. Thank you SO much for watering my flowers, they are looking so gorgeous! I think they grew double the size because of it. Thank you thank you.
