Just a Quick Note …

 

My parents are staying here for the weekend, so I’m very busy with my guests.
I won’t be around much today.
Just a quick note and a little impression …

Anticipation …

The weather was perfect, and after dinner we set out for a little tour of the harbor of Antwerp and Lillo. I took loads of pictures but that will have to wait.
I’m wanted in the kitchen now!

    Lovely photos! Made me smile - photos of them all doing the same thing : shading their eyes, hubby and your dad looking the same way, on the bench looking the same way!! You are a great hostess - everything in it's place ... very welcoming!

    I so want to come stay with you! I know you would take much better care of me than I likely will you!

    i.e. "If you want ketchup with that hotdog it's in the fridge. Oh, and bring me a soda on your way." ;)

    Hope you had a nice visit. Your shrimp look delicious and I can tell you have "love" in your house decorating. I've seen other photos before and it shows that you care and have taste.
