van Gogh's Starry Night.

Yes they are real! I had this idea to make a picture with flowers and this painting came to mind because of the the color and the texture of the flowers. I think it turned out pretty well.

HYAADW.

Stubborn Dutch Guy

The postings have been a little slim of late. (Other than Al's phallic flower pictures.) So I thought I'd share this song with you. Enjoy with an oliebol or some koek.

Here is the site where you can listen to "Stubborn Dutch Guy".

And here are the lyrics so you can follow along.

Have a great week everyone!

tot ziens!

My Entry into Peoples Choice '08

I wanted something very simple. So like the fruit, this arrangement comes in its own wrapper.

Check out the Vancouver Sun WestCoast Section.

Our Ronaldo

Anna's first game was today.

She plays on Simon's (mostly boy) team.

No goals but lots of hustle - gave the boys a run for their money:)

"... no crying he made"
.... just take a sharp left turn that way.
Resetting.... completely drugged out........the sound is actually frightening
soccer anyone????

Simon fell off a quad today broke his arm 8 cm below his elbow. Both bones were completely snapped. Great Doctor, very experienced nurse. All is well that ends well, i guess. I was not asked if he was allowed to ride it...........just what his Care card # was..

This is one tuff customer.... in the hospital the Dr asked if he thinks he broke it ? He said no and that he just needed a bag of ice the make it go straight again.

Thank the Lord!!

Back to School

Back to school was a big deal in Fort Langley this year! Anna is now in Grade 1 and gone every day and Thomas started preschool. As you can see from the photo, he is pretty proud of this accomplishment!

Good Times....Great Food....

Thanks to all of you that came for our celebration. We totally enjoyed ourselves. Yes, I think you all know how to party.....But now we will need to gain some more energy for the next big event.
Some of you were asking how I did the potatoes. Here's a run down.
Cut up potatoes. Put into large bowl and microwave for 10-12 minutes.
Toss extra virgin oil or grapeseed oil all over them. Spice up with seasoning salt, pepper, roasted pepper and garlic spice, thyme, rosemary, basil, and whatever else you may find in your cupboard. I believe in letting it rip with the herbs and spices.Be creative!
Bake at 400 for 1 hour.
