The family arrived at 4 pm yesterday but were in good spirits and all looked so nice. The girls seemed to feel at home right away – unpacked and organized their things! We ate supper, walked around the block, and they all fell into bed – are still asleep (11 am). Wish you were here ,too.

This is a lovely little village – the cobblestones are hard to walk on, tho. It is sunny but cool and comfortable.

Had tacos and enchiladas at Alicia’s Sat night – delicious!

How was your Wis trip? Jean called and said you looked so nice and she enjoyed seeing you. We will be at the Kasteel in another hour.

We had a nice two days in Groningen and environs. Did the city walking tour yesterday and it was interesting but about ruined us. Nice weather – summer has finally arrived!!

Congratulations on your sale! We are delighted now you have to really create more nice ones. They say it ain’t always easy.. Have to make our lists – ugh.

Cheers. Love, Va

I do hope you had a nice birthday. Alicia and I went to an old church to listen to a carillon concert, but one had to stand around outside – no benches or place to sit and it was very cold and windy – so we went shopping instead (stores are open on Thurs eves downtown). Raining this morning as usual.

Love to you, Dede
