Oh my, with all our hard work and weeks of consulting and doing seminars for mushroom people, we finally went on a real VACATION.
By luxury bus, from The Netherlands that is.
First going 'home' for seeing Mom & Dad and Family and Friends...
The vacation via France to Portugal and Spain was just wonderful; one of the BEST we ever had and a good group of some 19 people on that bus.
We took turns for having a different view in the bus and really indulged in it all.
Then you have to fly back to the USA and drive home.
Buon fine settimana.
ReplyDeleteCaro Giancarlo,
DeleteGrazie e lot stesso per tutti voi!
Abbracci,
Mariette
What a terrible thing to happen. Are these wild dogs roaming the countryside where you live?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteAt that time we indeed had some dogs that were roaming around as a pack.
Prohibited but before people obey to the law...
We even had them make our kitties climb high in a tree out of fear!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, I have never seen damage quite like this--you certainly seem to experience every adventure. Still, you are lucky this was all outside--imagine if animals got into the house while you were away and ruined your good things.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteThis was a shocking sight indeed but indeed, it was all outside.
No more dogs roaming around at present...
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh my! That was not a nice thing to come home to.. Yes we have had squirrels chew big holes in our expensive outdoor cushions when we lived in Houston. In Colorado we had a pack rat chew a big hole in our screen door trying to get into the house. Luckily the inner door was closed so it didn’t make it in. Have a nice weekend..
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteSuch experiences are very unpleasant indeed! Squirrels and also chipmunks can do some damage as for sure rats can.
Hugs and happy weekend,
Mariette
Oh, no! What a shame that the beautiful tablecloth was "eaten" away.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Mariette!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteYep, we found patches on the lawn, on the boxwoods and knew something bad had happened.
Hugs,
Mariette
Habrás que tenido que comprar otro mantel...ese ya se ha quedado para tirar.
ReplyDeleteLa parte positiva es que has disfrutado de unas buenas vacaciones y has podido pasar unos días también con tu familia.
Espero que hayas tenido una estancia agradable en mi país y te haya gustado lo que has visto en él.
Besos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteAfortunadamente pude cortarlo en un cuadrado más pequeño para nuestra mesa de teca en el balcón. ¡Oh, tuvimos las vacaciones de nuestra vida! Cuánto disfrutamos de su país y desearíamos habernos quedado más tiempo en algunas catedrales donde tocaban el órgano... Tuvimos que seguir adelante, ¡Pero con corazones sangrantes! Buenos recuerdos en nuestras cintas de video.
Abrazos,
Mariette
What a shame
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteTrue, one of those things we have to just swallow in life...
Hugs,
Mariette
Ohhhh... schade.
ReplyDeleteGestern hatten wir einen großen Stoffmarkt in der Stadt auf dem Altmarkt.
Es sind Händler aus den Niederlanden, die zwei mal im Jahr in unsere Stadt Dresden kommen. Wunderbares Flair... und die Stoffe erst, einer schöner als der andere. Du kannst dir vorstellen, wie ich mich "gesonnt" habe - einfach herrlich.
Beginne heute mit Nähen und freue mich.
Viele Grüsse zu dir. Ich wünsche einen frohen Sonntag. Viola
Liebe Viola,
DeleteJa, sehr schade denn es war so eine super Tischdecke.
Also für dich war es ein toller Tag mit diese Stoffmarkt. Genieße davon um zu Nähen und auch dir einen schönen Sonntag mit etwas von unsere Sonne und Wärme von 23 Grad. Es war vorgestern noch bis 31 Grad und wir haben herrlich Radfahren können.
Liebe Grüße,
Mariette
What a pity the wild dogs shredded that tablecloth. Have a lovely Sunday Mariette.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteIndeed a pity and only due to some irresponsible dog owners that let them roam free...
Hugs,
Mariette
