Back Home from my 67th Trip to Limburg in The Netherlands

 Just to leave a token of being alive and well...
Yes, on Friday, June 17 by 19:30 I got home with our private driver (in our own car) from the Savannah Airport.
I'd flown in at JFK New York on Delta Airlines 49, earlier and then the Delta flight to Savannah, Georgia.
Pieter was happy and so was I!
And of course our kitties...
This sweet note from my Pieter awaited me:
LL—Lieve Lieverd or Dear Sweetheart in English...
Together with these Red Roses... neatly arranged in our Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color vase.
Detail...
Two days later I'd arranged them in a different Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color compote bowl.
Of course teamed up with our rose linen table cloth...

More about my trip later.
This was the 2nd time that Pieter and I have been separated for some 3 weeks...
When he went in March/April, 1987 to China for People to People Citizen Ambassador Program.
Also then, I went solo to Limburg for being with family and friends.

      Roses have always been my favorite flower in many forms, for wearing or for decorating.

      Oh, what a feeling indeed and the kitties were all over me; claiming me back.
      Dido did scratch my eyelid on Monday morning as he tried to wedge himself between his Papi and Mami... So I now wear a bandaid!

  10. Looks like someone is very happy you are home! What a beautiful surprise. Funny story. I was gone once for a lengthy time in my first marriage. When I returned home there was a stack of his shirts on the kitchen table that greeted me. He said he was waiting for me to return and iron them. Is there any question as to why he is my ex?

    1. Dearest Janey,
      Oh yes, Pieter was as happy that I was home, as I myself!
      Good grief, talking about sending a strong message as for demanding his 'servant' to get into action for him...
      Glad you found a better partner for life with more respect and shared values and interests!
      Hugs,
      Mariette
