About Me

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

{Papa is 91 today!}

Papa is 91 today. You might have read my post 'Papa is 90 today!' from last year. If not so, just click the hyperlink.  
Picture taken here in Dublin when Dad (Papa) did help us move into the house.
We'll call Papa during the day; that is our usual contact with them across the Atlantic. On Papa's 90th birthday there was a partial solar eclipse that was visible from most of Europe. Last year they did get heavy snow shortly after his birthday and it was very cold. Now the weather is rather mild in The Netherlands, no frost at night versus some mean cold weather here in Georgia.
-8°C is 17.6°F
That was early morning on the 3rd of January.

  5. Gefeliciteerd met deze bijzondere verjaardag. Mijn moeder is nog lang geen 90 (66) maar mijn oma wordt volgende maand 93. Helaas is mijn vader niet ouder geworden dan 33, wat had ik hem graag meegemaakt op zo'n hoge leeftijd.

    Cherish him!

    lieve groet

  22. Happy birthday to your Papa! Oops! I forgot to mention that it was hubby's birthday today on my blog. I was thinking too much about those cookies. ha! So far I tried orange cranberry with white chocolate (yum), molasses cookies (always good), sugar cookie with crushed peppermint and a cherry cocoa ball with an almond inside. Now I'm on a sugar high but time to go to bed. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week. Tammy

  27. Hier schaue ich auch nochmal. Ein stolzes Alter! Mein Vater wurde nur 62, er hatte zu sehr in der russ. Kriegsgefangenschaft gelitten und zahlreiche Folgen an seiner Gesundheit davongetragen!

    Jetzt weiß ich, woran es liegt, daß ich den Chrome-eigenen Translator nicht mehr sehe bei Deinem Blog. Du hast einen Microsoft-Translator eingebaut, der verhindert das, indem er sich oben in die Leiste stellt, wo sonst der automatische Chrome-Translator erscheint. So werde ich Deinen Blog wohl mit dem Internet Explorer lesen müssen, da in Chrome/CoolNovo auch noch andere Störungen auftreten.

    Liebe Grüße nochmals
    Sara
