Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is June 2, 2006, finally Friday! Wonder why the week seems longer when it starts off with a Holiday?

My Brother-In-Law Bert is celebrating his birthday today. Happy Birthday Bert and Many, Many More! I've not had the chance to meet he and his wife Els yet but I feel like I know them well. They live in The Netherlands, Holland, my husband's homeland, along with my other two brother-in-law(s) Ton and Jos, their wives Ank and Debbie, my sister-in-law Ria and her husband Gio, and many nephews, nieces, and cousins.

My daughter Tracy and I were lucky enough to visit my future husband (at the time) Gerry in the Netherlands in February/March 1999. What fun we had! Gerry is from Amstelveen, Holland, a charming little town south of Amsterdam. He showed us every interesting place we had time to visit and we ate some of the BEST pancakes in the WORLD! There is nothing like a Dutch pancake when you're hungry, Nothing!

My dream would be to live in a castle, open it up as a Bed and Breakfast, and enjoy every day welcoming visitors to our home! Can you imagine? It would be so exciting and probably costly, but worth all the money it would take to run.

Rhett Butler, my beautiful companion, part Chow and part Golden Retriever, would love it. He would hunt down all the "creatures" that might give us cause for concern and run then outside. He's a very good hunter!

Gerry would be in charge of the work crew (repairs, gardeners, painters, etc.), Tracy and I would run the check-in/check-out, oversee the maids and cooks, waiters and waitresses, and we'd all take turns handling invoicing, the telephone, cash and credit cards, etc., etc. You know, this could work!

I'm off to start the day with my two best friends, Tracy and Rhett. Gerry, my third best friend, will be home in about an hour.

Until we meet again, CIAO!
