{1899 Windmill 'Eendracht Maakt Macht' in my City of Birth}

• Guess for lots of people, all over the world, the Dutch symbols are: windmills, tulips, wooden shoes...
• Okay, let me show you at least one of those; Windmill 'Eendracht Maakt Macht' Unity is Strength in Horst, my City of Birth. 
• As a matter of fact, the windmill is located in the little hamlet of Meterik, that belongs under Horst aan de Maas. 
• This is the largest municipality in the Province of Limburg in the deep south of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. 
• By the way, on April 30, it will indeed become a Kingdom again as Queen Beatrix will pass the crown to Prince Willem-Alexander.

• This photo is taken on Saturday, September 26 of 1987, when we went to The Netherlands with our American friends, Hank & Doylene. Funny is that here I do wear a plaid Burberry skirt and below I also wear plaids...

• Here I am 8 years old (l) with brothers Martin and Piet and sister Diny.
• Walking on a Sunday and Dad making pictures with his Agfa camera...
• Mom always did iron those hair bows for us girls to wear with a special barrette.
• Did any of you get to wear such hair bows?

• And again, all four of us...

• This is a Moundmill, with the name: Eendracht Maakt Macht from 1899

• Also here is a website about Molen 'Eendracht Maakt Macht' in Meterik
• They newly also do have their own FB Fan Page: Molen 'Eendracht Maakt Macht' in Meterik where you will also find great photos!
• Via google gevonden, een ontzettend leuke blogpost met foto's van de molen door de jaren heen. Mariette bedankt! 1899 Windmill 'Eendracht Maakt Macht' in my City of Birth (click and see how they used my post).

  Hope you enjoyed this trip into the past of my childhood area! 

{Taxes & Running a Business Legally}

• Wow, so glad that on Thursday March 28, I could sign my business tax papers at our CPA's office! 
• Don't you hate to go through this annually? That is, if you run a business legally. 
• Wow, there is so much to take care of. 
• The annual registration on line, for a Limited Liability Company, at the Secretary of State's Corporations Division for paying our fees. 
• Handling the annual Sales Tax on line etc. etc. 
• These two I can handle myself but for all the other forms we have our CPA; I would be lost without him!

• For my business MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS LLC, I have to register annually and pay my fee.

• Our Capital in Atlanta, Georgia/USA (off the Georgia Secretary of State's website...)

• Business Filings on line for a Limited Liability Company
• Do you manage your Business Taxes yourself or are you also using a CPA?

Frankly speaking... I HATE accounting! I was far better in Algebra... that WAS my favorite and I always had to come up to the blackboard to work out new steps. But I doubt if I could repeat that now...
