Naylor Hall in Roswell Georgia for Dutch KONINGS DAG

Yes, I am late for posting this but that is due to the upcoming Revue with our Choir...

Will soon be able to visit others and to catch up on life!

But yes, husband Pieter and I did go to the annual Dutch event at Naylor Hall in Roswell, GA near Atlanta.
Always great to meet with the Dutch community here in Georgia.
Both of us feel very proud that they are one of the Ten Largest Foreign FDI Investors in Georgia!

Thursday, April 27 on a bright sunny afternoon!

We had rain showers in the morning...

We had come the long drive to Roswell once again.

Stopping at Costco for picking up our DVDs with old 8mm movies.

Checking in at the Hyatt Place Atlanta/Alpharetta/North Point Mall first and than only a few miles driving to the lovely Naylor Hall.

We arrived there as FIRST guests for Valet Parking!

Not a good photo due to the harsh sunlight...

Husband Pieter who would celebrate a special double-digit Birthday two days later!

Feeling relaxed for being in time. The traffic was not bad at all for once!

Yes, wearing some orange for the House of Orange...

We were here 8 years ago with Pieter's Goddaughter and her partner Toine.

Special memories!

The Valet Parking crew standby for the majority of the guests.

Wearing my Escada jeans and blouse.

Comfortable for the long drive.

You can see more photos here from the Naylor Hall FB Page,  just click the link.

We still enjoy the complimentary orange tulips!

Thank you for your visits and soon I will be 'off duty' and visit you!

My 2nd Fleur de Lys Crocheted Curtain is Hanging

Well, by hand crocheting those huge Fleur de Lys Curtains; I learned anew about PERSEVERANCE.

Feeling so very happy to have this 2nd Fleur de Lys curtain up and hanging; after only some 50 hours of crocheting!
On March 14, Speed Crochet... My final 1.5 Fleur de Lys.

After all, it was only HALF the size of the first one I did crochet in about 100 hours.

The crocheted table topper with roses was a gift from my dear friend Ellie.

An elderly lady Mia Keizers, in her 70s, did crochet that one.

The woolen rug also has the Fleur de Lys pattern.

Both of us are very pleased with the new curtains.

Husband Pieter even called it our home's prettiest room. Also with the view we have from here.

Our proud collection of Delfware houses, earned on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

If we only had the time to sit here, relax and read...

Having done this task, I need to catch up on so many other things!

And we are getting slower as we age.

Cannot complain though.

Thanks for your visit!

Our Bletilla Striata Alba Orchids After Winter Inside Greenhouse

Even plants can show their happiness!

Before they used to live for 20 years in our wood garden but the competition with huge trees was fierce.

So Pieter dug them up and planted them in pots, you can find the link below post.

They were very happy inside our Greenhouse extension that Pieter built.

Blooming rather early but I could not make photos as I couldn't get inside, past some citrus trees in pots.

On March 8, I could get to them as Pieter already had hauled the first half of pots outside.

Looking very healthy and happy!

Some already started to wilt, they were over their peak already.

But both of us were very happy with their performance!

Do you also enjoy plants that show happiness?
