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

{HEARTFELT THANK YOU to ALL OF MY 500 FOLLOWERS!}

Sorry but I have had no time to finish the follow up post about our DEEPER Reach In Closet in the Guest Bedroom. That will come next; promise!
BUT it is also VERY important for taking the time to say a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to all of my 500 FOLLOWERS!
THANK YOU ALL!
On February 20, my blog's TRUE Presence was 1840 in my post: {How is YOUR Blog's TRUE Presence on the WEB?} so that is a steady increase since than.
Stay tuned for several exciting updates!
At least you will get to know what we've been up to lately...
Wishing all US Citizens a meaningful Memorial Weekend!

      The pleasure is both ways as I do have lots of admiration for your crafty and inventive skills; as well as for your husband's!

  3. Hello Mariette, Congratulations on another milestone. The reason you have so many subscribers is that, through all your many varied topics, we always see the real Mariette shine through.

    1. Dear Jim,
      Yeah, milestone or not but it shows that we're not alone on our road! Topics I do have enough; if only all old slides would be scanned for use... Plus my biggest problem is often lack of time! Thanks for your meaningful comments all the time. That's what my heartfelt thank you was aimed at!!

    1. Liebe Irmi,
      Danke und über die vielseitigkeit habe ich hier oben grad geschrieben. Viele spannende Geschichten konnte ich noch schreiben und mit euch teilen; wäre nur die vielen Diapositive schon eingescand... Mir fehlt einfach die Zeit! Trotzdem, mit positive frische immer voraus und ich freue mich so auf diese Austäusche wobeim man so vieles dazu lernt. Besonders bei Dir! Geniesse ein schönes Wochenende.
      Lieber Gruss,
      Mariette

  6. Oh, and thank you so much for pointing to the "TRUE presence" thing!!! I had NO idea about this! To my greatest surprise, my blog with my very humble number of 284 followers has a 1.610 "true presence"... not too bad! :) I must say, I'm a regular commenter on the blogs I really follow, and I post regularly and my own content! :)))
    Hugs from the Alps :)

    1. Dearest Anna,
      Sure, the exchange of comments is the actual link builder here!
      You are doing well and this only proves that a vast number of followers is not the only key for measuring true presence. Also the fact that one uses original content and photos; not being a copy and paste master!
      Enjoy your weekend in the Alps!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Thank you and this is mutual! With your daughter living in Chennai that makes your writing quite exotic too!
      Thanks for the Memorial Day wishes and have a happy weekend yourself.

  8. Dearest Mariette,

    You are entirely welcome. It's always a joy to visit your blog and see what you are doing and/or thinking.

    Contrary to what some may think or say, I don't think you have to be a US citizen to celebrate Memorial Day. I feel it's a way for everyone in this country to remember all those who have fought and died for us.

    Gosh 500 followers.....congratulations!

    Enjoy your weekend....we are expecting rainy, cool weather until Monday!........xxx....*s*

    1. Dearest Suzi,
      Thanks for your kind words!
      Concerning my phrase:'Wishing all US Citizens a meaningful Memorial Weekend', that was more aimed at our own country people and not so much towards the other 189 countries that might read my blog. In my birth country we just recently had our Liberation Day where they too remember all the fallen people. So each country has its own more or less.
      Enjoy your weekend too. We are having sunny days ahead of us and just a little cooler; which is great!
      Hugs to you,
      Mariette
