{Today 39 years ago I lived in Panningen, Netherlands}

Today it is exactly 39 years ago that I started living in Panningen, in the Dutch province of Limburg. How fast time goes by! There I lived 5+ years and went each day to work by car in Horst, some 20 km or 13 miles north of Panningen. Together with my 1st cousin Thea from the blog Crea by Thea I attended the Scheidegger course where we learned how to type blind with the 10-finger system. Years later, I did find Thea back on Blogger; incredibly small world! You can read Thea's story about it Ik vond mijn nichtje.... By the way, you can click in the heart ♥  below the 1st photo: Brigitte.de Crea by Thea for helping Thea get a German Brigitte (magazine) Award. Just showing you some images from my Panningen era...

This is with my pure bred Dachshund Mauzie on the River Meuse in Kessel, Limburg. 

Mauzie was the daughter of a Dutch male Dachshund Champion.

Mauzie immigrated later with me to Georgia/USA and enjoyed 2 more years as American Dachshund.

Underneath this post there is another link, where you can find out more about Mauzie.

Mauzie on the River Meuse; she was crazy about water. During the weekends we always took her for a long walk in the area.

Cousin Thea and I, actually lived only 150 meters (or 164 yards) distance from each other! 

The brown, cropped sweater in linen bouclé had an ajoure lace v-neck and was at that time my favorite. 

Bought in Bonn, Germany where we went shopping often as my late husband's Mom was from Germany.

From Kessel Castle overlooking the River Meuse.

I'm wearing here a Salzburger Dirndl with Roses from Trachten Stüberl in Bad Münstereifel

Roses have been my favorite as long as I can remember...

My Mauzie traveled the world, here she is in Bad Münstereifel, Germany with me.
