Happy for finding Fresh Rambutan

Having worked and lived for about three years in Indonesia, the country which is the largest producer of Rambutan fruit, we were delighted to find them at Costco!

Yes, they are called the 'Hairy Fruit' as Rambut means hair!

These came from Central America, from Guatemala though!

Love the way they did draw them with their hairy body and how to cut into them for popping out the delicious and juicy contents.

We sure miss living in the tropics as you have year round access to the most delicious fresh fruits!

Mangosteen is another of my favorites...

Do you care for any fresh tropical fruits?

Pieter in Suspenders Then and Now

Whenever one travels, there is a chance you come upon unique finds.

Thus was the case on our trip to South Africa where husband Pieter lectured at a conference and where both of us traveled all around for visiting numerous mushroom farms. 

On Monday, November 18 of 1985, we found this couture shirt of Lanvin for only $ 32.00 due to the fluctuation of the South African Rand.

Here on June 22, 1986 husband Pieter is wearing it with his white cotton pique pants and leather suspenders.

Fast forward, 24 years later, same husband, same cotton pique pants and new leather suspenders.

Now paired with an Outlet find from Last Call by Neiman Marcus at the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass, FL.

This is a Brioni shirt, that we found for a steal!

Husband Pieter never gained any weight, just like me; same size all the time.

The Brioni shirt needs to be worn with cuff links but Pieter got several pair.

You can also see the detail of the pique pants where I stitched the crease, so it always stays in impeccable and thus avoiding a double crease.

See previous post below.

Do you like suspenders?

Wedding on Day Before Lockdown

Yes, we all are living in WEIRD times...

Both of us dancing at a wedding on March 14...

Yep, that was the day before the official lockdown.

Big gathering at Church and later for dinner and dancing.

Just a WeFie attempt...

For sending to our daughter Anita in Indonesia.

Wearing my thin wool/silk Escada pant suite with embroidered roses on and my Majorica pearls.
