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

Visiting Friend Mariëlle in Husband Pieter's Province

 From Limburg we now drive to Gelderland where husband Pieter is born and where my dear Friend Mariëlle lives.
For some reason, the GPS did guide us away from the Interstate and we got the most scenic route one can imagine!
The area of Groesbeek in Gelderland is where Pieter's Dad served as a Border Patrol during WWI.
We also admired wonderful bike lanes, almost everywhere in The Netherlands and it also was a hilly area.
We walked from the Parking Garage to Mariëlle's Apartment.
Showing her cute Toyota Aygo.
Ellie and Mariëlle my friend from elementary school, so we know each other over 60 years!
Mariëlle is one year younger as we had two classes in one...
She is mischievous, a good sportswoman and was one of the best college teachers!
Till a few years back, she rode her motor bike and she also has participated numerous times in the famous Nijmegen 4Days March. She is an excellent runner.
The three of us enjoy a delicious lunch, prepared by Mariëlle.
You notice again the special bread?
Her cheese and zucchini rolls were delicious!
Pleasant times are passing way too fast.
Heading towards the Parking Garage opposite Museum Het Valkhof...
Hoping that Mariëlle will manage to visit us a 3rd time here in Georgia!
And now driving back to Sevenum...
Had to pack, and after supper I visited Caro's Parents; my youngest brother and sister–in–love.
We really were running out of time!!!
Never enough when surrounded by your favorite people.
But I for sure did go back home to Georgia, with FOND MEMORIES!!!
My last supper...

Stay tuned...

    1. Dearest Janey,
      Indeed, she is and very active too!
      She created a delicious lunch for the three of us.
      Blogger is acting up on all fronts, so many comments need to be retrieved in the spam and many cannot even comment at all.
      Hugs,
