    REAL Life...

    Goooooooood MORNING dear friends! I'm only going to be here for a minute - I can not TELL you how busy life is just now! We are having a BALL - but slightly less than ONE week with Jientje is proving to be at LEAST 3 weeks too few! I'm starting to think of NOT taking her to the airport on Monday, and just kidnapping her for the rest of her American visit! I can't be that selfish though... I love you other's too -- and so, sadly, I will share her! But I won't LIKE it!

    You will get pictures -- I'm sure from both of us - at some point - but not today -- of our activities yesterday, which included -but were not limited to - a trip to the Drum Point Lighthouse, Trunk or Treat with Luz at her school, and the highlight of ALL highlights - a trip to get Krysti's oil changed! THIS, ladies and gentlemen, was probably THE highlight of Jientje's American Tour! She got to get OUT of the car and take photo's IN the GARAGE of the Valvoline shop!!! The man UNDER the car and everything! You'll see! Keep an eye on her blog when she gets home! ROFL! SHE is having toooooooooooo much fun!

    So, now I'm off to carve pumpkins at 9:00 in the morning -- so that we can get on with today's adventures! But for now, I'll just leave you with some of yesterday's smiles - over lunch!

    Me & Jientje!
    (might be the only one we GET of us together!)


    Krysti & Mom
    (might be the only time you see Krysti SMILE in THAT position!)
    LOL!

    Ohhhhhhhh.... This is where we were!


    Okay... Bye!


    (oh, Quilly ... don't worry about palaces and things -- just take her to the car wash! Or... maybe if you can find a laundromat... that would be good! Can you GET the plumber back to replace some pipes??? THIS girl wants REAL LIFE!)

    I'm glad you got at least one picture of you together! And I love seeing Ella's trunk there at the side.

    That place looks like a neat place to be.

    Have fun! I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more when you have time.

    You two are too hysterical. I'm loving every minute of it.

    Love your pictures and love the fact that you two are having such a good time!
    Yes, real life! The best way to enjoy it!

    Hi girls, I'm following your adventures at a very long distance but I can see that you both love it. And that is exactly what I love. Enjoy what live is giving to both of you.
    Thanks to Melli and family!!

    The man and the cat!

    LOL! Real life Jientje can have. We've got neighbors who have knock down, drag out screaming fights complete with foul words, slamming doors, and screaming babies.

    I love the pic of the two of you together -- but what amuses me most is the way the couple in the back ground leaned in to the shot!

    Keep having fun, but you get her to the airport on time! The rest of us are wanting our turns!

    Ya'll are having too much fun! Going all over the place and running hither and there.

    Don't worry about your son. He will be ok...and a good learning experience for him. I'm sure he will be so shocked that food actually costs money and all. :)

    My envy just keeps a growing. How lucky she is.
    Glad everything is going so well.
    Say Hi to Ella for me.

    ROFL! Can't wait to see the Valvoline mechanic! What a blast of a week; I'm glad it's been so good---and it seems to have *flown*!

    What a great adventure! I love to see all the smiles.

    @Quilly: You really have some eagle eyes. I didn't notice the couple behind.
