Hey there, my dear friends and readers of this blog. I’m so sorry, I’ve been such a bad blogger lately. But there is a good reason for this, my little notebook died on me while I was staying at Melli ‘s house, and getting online became a huge problem.
I was able to log in on Thom’s notebook during my stay at Quilly’s house but by then I was so behind with all my stuff I did not even had time to download my own pictures, let alone answer comments or read blogs …
I’m going to have to MAAR ( mark all as read ) most of the posts in my reader, I’m sorry. There is no way I’m going to get caught up again if I don’t do this!
I’ll try to download a couple of pictures from the last days of my trip, starting with my arrival in Chicago early in the morning. My good friend Lou was there to pick me up at the airport, and together we drove off into the sunrise. Ten pictures can be seen here.
The photo walk we made was very inspiring for the both of us and more pictures will be available as soon as possible. I PROMISE !!!
Meanwhile I’m back in Belgium trying to fight off my jet lag. Please don’t get angry with me if I’m not around as much as I want to, there is still loads and loads of photo work to be done right now. I still have not seen all of my pictures yet , can you imagine that?
To all my dear friends I met during this trip, THANKS again for all the things you did for me. You were great, and you are all in my heart. This was such an overwhelming experience! Thank you so much for making it possible to live my dream …

Glad you are home safe and sound, missed hearing your updates and posts. So happy for you! Lovely shot, composition, sun flare.
Oh Sweetie!! I'm so glad you are back! I missed you. I look forward to seeing all your pictures. It will be fun to see the states through your eyes. Welcome home.
You sound like you had a fabulous time! Look forward to hearing/seeing more after you get some rest.
Ahh, Chicago. It's been a while but it is still one of my favourite American cities. Great pics.
Just thankful you are home safe Jientje, your excitement is catching, I felt like I had to catch my breath after reading your post, so I will be patient while you rest and catch up!
From now on, when I need inspiration, when I need a reason to stay on my diet, I am going to refer to this picture. And I AM going on a diet. I am going to lose 50 pounds.
glad your back, and can't wait to see the pictures.
Glad you are home safe Jientje, looking forward to seeing your wonderful pictures.
Glad you are home safe, and that no Indians attacked your stagecoach while you were in the States. Sorry, I could not make it up to Chicago to meet you, but I may be coming to Amsterdam next year (2010) to visit a few art museums. And, I notice you don't live very far from there. Nice shots of Chicago, it is a great city to visit. Did you get to the Chicago Art Institute?
Get some rest pumpkin!!! It will be a treat to hear all about the trip and see the amazing pictures!!!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B

Take your time, Jientje. We can wait patiently because we have all been in your position--jet lagged, glad to be home, overwhelmed with gratitude, wanting to reconnect. AND knee deep in photos! Welcome home.
Welkom t'huis!

Just from reading everyone else's accounts of your time with them, it sounds like a whirlwind trip!
Glad you are safely home. Now, put your feet up, while you download all those photos.

I am SO glad you are back home safe and sound...don't worry about rushing to post the photos you took. As long as we eventually see them, we will be happy! I am sure the ones you took were breathtaking.
Moet toch wel een belevenis geweest zijn. Als ik het goed begrepen heb dan was je voornamelijk bij blogkontakten, mensen die je eigenlijk niet echt IRL kende ?
Aan de ene kant spannend, aan de andere kant misschien niet echt iets voor mij: ik heb het niet zo begrepen op onverwachte, ongekende dingen...
Zo was ik bvb. dolgelukkig dat mijn 50-ste verjaardag voorbij gegaan is ZONDER surprise party. Ik ben in staat om op mijn eigen surprise party weg te lopen....
