Naomi and the girls made it to the Netherlands in one piece. Everything has gone well so far. They spent some time with Opa and Edith in Amsterdam and then went to stay with friends in Rotterdam. Their houses look like they came out of a magazine and Amélie was very impressed. One of them is a former client that became a friend. Last night, my parents and I had a different former client who became a friend over for dinner. Seems to be a bit of a pattern. The other (they are neighbors) are our old friends Clifton and Karmen. They are selling everything and moving to New Zealand in a couple months. What a transition!
Been working hard around here trying to get messes cleaned up, new firewood sorted and stacked, and plugging away at some projects that never seem to go the way I would like them to. Nice to have my parents here for a couple days to help out with a few things and meet some friends.
I got to meet a new friend in Escanaba who is an architect. He also works on his own projects. This project is so impressive. They are turning an old bank into a distillery. Really interesting to learn about how he is doing it and what it will become!
