MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS

Friday, January 28, 2022

On January 30, it will be the annual WORLD LEPROSY DAY

In 1989 this lady received a prosthesis from Princess Diana and then in 1997 from the Dublin, Georgia, USA Rotary Club.

As you quite well know, while working and living in Indonesia we got involved with the Leprosy project.

Even back in my birth country The Netherlands we had a leper colony...

The Windmill Herald was a bi-weekly Dutch-English Newspaper printed by Vanderheide Publishing Co Ltd. Langley, BC Canada.

All through winter we do have blooming flowers!

Such a JOY to see this!

Camellia Japonica Debutante is a GEM.

On December 8, 2021...

Pieter captured these on the iPhone

Such a prolific blooming Camellia!

Here you see a few Camellia Japonica Debutante in a pottery jug.

Our Spunky girl is sitting on a chair and looking towards us.

Yes, we had home baked waffles with frozen cherries from Costco, unsweetened shredded coconut and Coconut cream from Trader Joe's.

Roses were given by my choir director after practice on January 5...

The top and bottom photos were taken on January 9, 2022.

Do you have any Camellias?

One year for Saint Nicholas, my sister Diny and I received each a woven sewing basket...

Diny's was in a lilac color and mine was red.

This is how it looks after half a century...

Beautiful padded inside with red satin

From the outside...

No idea where it was made...

Do any of you have a similar one?
