YES, we also DID PLAY!

 For those of you that might think we always were working or flying from A to B, we actually DID PLAY too!

Both of us LOVED to play tennis as it is an active sport!

Pieter on the court...

And me...

With Gloria one of our tennis teachers in the back...

But we have had to drop this as our schedule was always such that we could not continue with scheduling classes or whatsoever...

But at least we ENJOYED it! 

Maybe next life...?!

Uncle Bo Whaley's 15th Birthday in Heaven

 

A young and handsome Uncle Bo Whaley, when he was in the army...

From 1954 till 1974 he worked as an F.B.I. Agent and lived all over the U.S.A.

He later became a columnist and writer and published a lot of books, we do have 11 of them!

Several with a personal message...

On October 7, 1988 shortly before we moved to Pennsylvania, Uncle Bo came to dinner at our home, as a farewell and he gave us the special Friendship Poem

Husband Pieter became SUPERMAN - When Push Came to Shove

Having your own home and a huge garden to take care of is quite a challenge at times!

Well, one day I was lucky enough for standing on our balcony to videotape husband Pieter's ACTION.

He'd rented a heavy chain saw for cutting some more trees.

It started also raining and suddenly his 'rented' saw got stuck!

This short 2:39 minute video shows the action.Cutting out a wedge, while it rained heavily...If you watch this on YouTube on your PC, you can see the text below with clickable time where it happens.Pieter had already changed into dry clothes ones!Now he came home after he literally PUSHED that stubborn sucker to the side...So proud for having it TAPED... no one would believe it.Pieter gathered his once stuck chain saw, and walked home to yet again take a shower and change into dry clothes and return the rental chain saw.
