{Batik Gift from Foster Daughter Anita}

It is very special if a parcel from Indonesia arrives in the mail... from our sweet daughter Anita!
She wanted to surprise her Papa & Mama with some unique Indonesian Batik outfits...
And for Mama also a matching purse!
Thank you once again sweet daughter; you made Mama very happy.
It fits nicely with my Escada skirt!
Standing next to our new Rose Arbor with baby climbing roses...
Papa (Daddy) loves his Batik shirt as well!
He wears it here on his black jeans.
Together with the bracelet that he received from daughter Liz, while together on vacation in Curaçao.
Our Spicy-girl always nearby...

Thank you dear daughter! 
We LOVE you very much.
