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 Commercial 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

{Away from Blogger for a While...}

Too many activities going on in my life.
Have to practice singing and dancing... for some upcoming performances and I take that seriously.
Also it is something that I greatly ENJOY doing.
Even my Dad, was happy with this news and he did let me in on his 70+ years of experience in singing.
That's a long time!


Wishing you all a happy fall/spring, depending in which hemisphere you're living.
I will be back but have not the time for writing right now.

Sending you all hugs and best wishes!
When time allows me so, I will visit you.

Mariette

  7. Hello Mariette, Mixing things up is always good to spur creativity and enjoyment. We know that you are not one to let the moss grow--although perhaps the mushrooms!

    1. Dear Jim,
      Well, in fact I do love mosses very much and I always let them be. It is hard to have them survive in our climate but we still got some. Mushrooms only appear naturally but we don't grow any on purpose. That is past time for both of us.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  20. Good Evening Mariette, Sometimes we have to shed one thing to enable us to do another and your 'another' sounds like great fun. Enjoy your singing and dancing.
    I look forward to your return.
    Best wishes as always.

  21. I know you are taking a blog break but wanted to share because you, I know, will appreciate this. For years I sang and performed with a group of maybe 25-30 women back in Minneapolis. Our director was simply amazing and taught us so many of the vocal techniques we had never learned. We sang everything from Bach to Barbershop to Jazz to Pop. And we were good! Those memories of back in the late 70s, early 80s are some of the finest I have. Enjoy and sing your little heart out.
    Love,
    Helen
