Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

212 Countries Visited - Welcome American Samoa + UPDATE Fairmont Château Lake Louise

On November 9, my humble blog got visited by the 212th Country - American Samoa! 


According to the World Factbook, American Samoa is situated in Australia-Oceania.
 As for our renovation, bathroom is almost done, we are waiting on the glass shower door which had to be custom ordered. The threshold and safety bar need to be put in and DONE!
Bedroom painting is done also.
Office will get some painting done next.

AND a late reply from Fairmont Château Lake Louise in regard to the error about H.R.H. Princess Louise...
 From Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise via Banff to Calgary click the above link and scroll down as I've put it in.

Again an update was received on December 28, please click the above link to see the added 'corrected text's' photo!

Thanks for your visit and comment!

      Thank you for wishing a lovely day, the sun was out at breakfast and now with some Baked Oatmeal in the oven ready to indulge it sounds like weekend! Oatmeal with pears and pecans in it.

  9. Liebe Mariette,
    ich hatte mal einen sog. Flagcounter auf meinen Blogs, das ist heute hier nicht mehr erlaubt bzw. man muß dann schon einen Anwalt haben, der einen entsprechenden Text für den Blog formuliert. Bei euch ist das sicher ganz anders. Damals habe ich auch gestaunt, welche Besucher von überallher auf meine Blogs kamen. Viele waren auch Bots oder Suchmaschinen.

    Eine bodennahe Dusche mit Glastür ist was Feines. Wir haben noch eine mit einem Einstieg, wie eine Stufe - im Alter nicht mehr so toll ... Dann ist es jetzt einfacher für Euch.

    Schade, das mit dem Regen - ich habe es gerade gelesen. Aber man kann es nicht ändern. Am besten ist es, wenn es nachts regnet und am Tage die Sonne scheint. :-) Hier bei uns hat es heute erstmals geschneit. Es blieb aber kein Schnee liegen.

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara

    1. Liebe Sara,
      Meine erste zwei Jahren mit Flagcounter sind auch verschwunden... Bin seid Juli 2011 wieder von vorne angefangen.
      Unsere Dusche ist jetzt fertig, so froh damit! Nie wieder eine Tür die nicht schiebt, da diese einfach auf schwenkt.
      Heute ist es mal wieder sonnig, dann sieht alles so anders aus!
      Ganz liebe Grüße,
      Mariette
