Countdown

One month to Korea! Can't believe it. I hear I already have a dozen students enrolled in my class.

Look What Holly Did!

We recently visited a new restaurant and saw an intriguing sign on the wall. Returned today with a framed photo and received a massive appetizer for free. Soon her picture will be hanging in the bar. Famous dog with buying power!

After-Dinner Treat

Amaretto in Dutch dark chocolate cups, as advised by a dear person in the Netherlands.

Big Conference Presentation

Clearly blogging fell to the wayside, but here are a couple pix from our big conference presentation. We're all back in the States and dealing with writing and book editing for the rest of the month. Thoroughly enjoyed the reprieve!

King's Day

For the first time, I managed to be in the Netherlands for the national holiday. Despite poor weather, we walked to the town square to enjoy some of the festivities. One of the traditions is to haul out things you don't need anymore and sell them on the street. Think community yard sale along with musical performances, traditional food, and lots of orange. (The Dutch royal family is the House of Orange.) No photographs, unfortunately.

Welcome to amsterdam!

In the last hour we've had clouds and rain and sun and sleet. It's partly cloudy now. Business as usual
