Oh, we all are running late......Dearest Marie-Anne,<br />Oh, we all are running late... this magazine is from October but I thought it would be appropriate to publish this right before Dutch American Heritage Day as there is a strong link.<br />History is always intriguing especially when living in different countries. You sure have had a very interesting exposure to the press through your work. Yes, it is touching for looking at such antique magazines and admiring the art of a past century. <br />Hugs to you sweet lady.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-9690577356713940292013-11-17T18:03:54.520-05:002013-11-17T18:03:54.520-05:00Dear Mariette,

It is always so interesting to learn important historical facts in more detail than what we already know 'in general'.<br />The front cover of that issue of the Ladies Home Journal is so lovely!! I have been working in press distribution for 37 years and I am always very touched by anything related to old magazines.<br />Many hugs to you, my friend!!!!Marie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107777204581721076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-34498369070251963622013-11-16T19:05:06.471-05:002013-11-16T19:05:06.471-05:00Oh yes, that was certainly a (quite funny!) lapsus...Oh yes, that was certainly a (quite funny!) lapsus, my dear Mariette! :) <br />And thank you for your sweet words about my mom's furries!<br />Hugs again!Annukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116405771337124059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-32506588294993565362013-11-15T21:19:33.115-05:002013-11-15T21:19:33.115-05:00Dearest Jo-Anne,

I was fascinated to read about theDutch influence with regard to the American Declaration of Independence. I know my husband will be really interested in this subject, as he is very keen on history. I wonder, are the Edward Bok books still available? I will certainly be showing him the magazine article you shared with us.<br />How wonderful to have such an old magazine. I have one which belonged to my grandmother which is the same size, and yes, it is like reading a newspaper.<br />Enjoy celebrating Dutch American Heritage Day tomorrow.Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-12129822456154290082013-11-15T04:04:32.008-05:002013-11-15T04:04:32.008-05:00Wat leuk Mariette!

But facts are facts and it were the Dutch that first colonized the New World. We have so much even in the language that derives from Dutch, let alone the Federal Constitution and Declaration.<br />Funny how magazines did scale down but understandably if one goes back to the era that there only were news papers. <br />Just got back from an hour long walk together; things are going well.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-58953833022563806582013-11-14T17:08:19.782-05:002013-11-14T17:08:19.782-05:00Liebe Irmi,
