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

Team Vedder is Ready to Roll

 Sure, winter is not bad here in the South but still one has to be cautious at times due to our back problems.
But you BET, Team Vedder is Ready to Roll!
It is great for adding depth and meaning to an already blissful relationship... 😉
There is nothing more lovely than being out in the fresh air and riding our bikes!
This WeFie is from last year... 😏

We both plan to add many miles over 2022...

Are you biking?

  1. Mariette, I'm still celebrating being off a walker after the pneumonia, so biking is the last thing on my list! Still, I'm so proud and happy for Pieter and you, my friend. Enjoy the milder temperatures South Georgia has to offer, and exercise in the "wild" to you heart's content.
    Blessings!

    1. Dearest Martha,
      Guess you ought to celebrate your quitting smoking even more!
      We will soon get out on our bikes again, looking forward to that.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  3. Have fun! I'm shovelling today, we're in the middle of another snowstorm, Mariette. OMC, I hate winter. Just saying! LOL.

    Take care!

    1. Dearest Kim,
      We're not yet on our bikes...
      So sorry about you having to live through another mean winter snowstorm.
      It is tough and having to shovel snow, we have not done since living in Pennsylvania or staying with our Jewish friends in Delaware; don't miss it either!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    1. Cara Olga,
      Grazie ed entrambi ci divertiamo più di ogni altra cosa. Camminare è molto più difficile per il ginocchio di Pieter.
      Abbracci,
      Mariette

  5. The two make a very cute couple. You can see that they are very accomplices and that is so good.

  6. Es una buena forma de hacer ejercicio y llenar los pulmones de oxígeno.

    1. Querida Antónia,
      Llenar los pulmones de aire fresco es la mejor manera de hacer ejercicio para la mejor forma de oxígeno.
      Abrazos,

  7. Hello Mariette, I like bicycling, but only in nice weather--never if it is chilly or rainy, which incidentally is the only type of weather we have been having lately. Hope you get some nice warm weather for your rides.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      So very true as rain and even humid weather is miserable.
      We hope to soon have the right type of weather for starting this!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  10. Super Ihr beide!
    Wir fahren auch gerne Rad und Helme gehören dazu, schon fast wie Zähneputzen und gibt enorme Sicherheit.
    Ihr seid ein tolles Team!
