Fall 2009.

A beautiful fall day. This morning a ride to Canandaqua. The colors are coming and every thing is so peaceful Temperature the best. I took one of my friends to the hospital for a mamogram, a nice talk on the way and a wonderful feeling to be able to help someone. Now I am getting ready for my little ones. Kim, Dave and Anna , they are not little but they are bringing my sweetie pies. Dave is going to cut a tree. Kim is going to wash windows that are to high for me and Anna is bringing supper. And I can enjoy every one. What a life. Some time I wonder if I deserve all this help and love. But sure I am taking it. Family is every thing to me and I have a great family.

The White House, Washington.

Today I recieved a letter from the White House. A answer on my question.This is just for the record that I write this. It shows you that if you want to know something there is a way.

Friday Lunch.

Yesterday was my weekly lunch with the Ladies. But Granny had also a little lady by the name Lucy. I was so proud of her she behaved and she was funny. The other four Ladies do not have Great Grandchildren and so they do not have the same feeling. Also little Freddy came over a while. He loved my ear rings and glasses. It is a joy to see him develop normal. Thank you kids for letting me enjoy your children.

A special date for some people. It does not happen often 9-9-09. Today is Evie and Jim 37 wedding anniversary. But because of all the 9 I want to make it public. Also 9-11 is coming up and I hope that we all do remember all the life's that where lost.Stand still and remember all those families that lost a love one.And do not forget to put the flag out. It will give you a moment to remember.

Nice summer weather.

What a great Holiday weekend weather we finely have. This has been a add summer but we are still enjoying this nice weather. But my brother in the Netherlands said that there it is the same to hot our rain and cold. There must be some truth to the change of our world. Jimmy and July where over yesterday afternoon with Molly. It so good to see them, I hope they come closer soon. Jim is waiting for the home prices to go up, but some time you just have to break and do what you want to do.By the end of the week Nan and Joe are going to Cape Cod and next week I am going to Ocean City.

Helping Friends.

Today was a great day. Jim and Evie had a chicken wing contest and they had close to 80 or more people.I brought two of my friends. One has a big health problem, but she so apriciate if you do something for her. And to see her talk to people and smile makes you feel good. In the coming weeks I have to drive to the Dr. for 3 friends. They do not have a car anymore our they are not able to drive on main roads. Medication is also a problem. I am so glad that I can do what I do.And also can help my friends. The party was great and it is so nice to keep in contact with family and friends Jim and David and family are the tops. Always willing to talk and help. Kim had better things to do. She got a new black hybrid car ,you can not hear that car run. Also you do not need anymore a key.Good luck Kim, your grandma is proud of you.

108 Years ago.

That was on August 30 the day that my Dad was born.He has been always very special to me. Being the only girl with four boys in the family I think I was always special in his eyes. I have many fond memories of him. He was a simple man. When I was a small child my dad was a carpenter,later doing road work.AfterW WII he started his own business.I had a little savings and he ask if he could start with it So heslowly build his own work in contracting, making roads in the Netherlands. By that time I had left the Netherlands for the U.S.A.But after four years in the Country he came over to see how we are doing. He offert my husband to come back and work for him.But we where to proud, we wanted to make it ourselves In 960 my parents came again, and they where so pleased to see that we made it.I still see my Dad and husband working on little project in the basement. My Dad had a lot respect for my husband and there was love between my parents and my husband. It feels so good to have all those memories.Sunday was the day that I special tought of you Dad. Love you.
