Not much news today. I didn't write yesterday because there wasn't anything unusual going on then, either. We're still waiting for "our" grandbaby. If we're eager for that baby to arrive, one can imagine how our son and daughter in law must be feeling. Babies have a way of coming when they're ready.....must be too comfortable still...lol

We had a funny experience in class today. Oops!!! Let's back up a bit. I'm taking Dutch classes because I'm living in the Netherlands. I'm from the USA and I've been here over 2 years. I won't bore you with the long story of how I really did try to start these classes in the year 2000 (well, at least I won't bore you for now). Anyway, I married my sweet adorable hubby in 2000.....and you guessed it!!! He's Dutch!!! So, here I am! Now we can go back to the class. I have 3 different teachers for the time being. André was teaching the class today. We were learning the different vegetables and their names here in Holland. Then André would ask how to cook this or that. One lady said that you could "bakken" (aka: fry) "bloemkool" (cauliflower). André said that you have to cook it in water. Then, of course, I jumped in and said that "bloemkool" could indeed be fried in a pan with oil, butter and garlic powder. He kept wrinkling his nose and saying "no"!!! I finally said, "I cook"!!! He laughed then went on to Spinach. I said that could also be done in hot oil with bits of bacon....he said it had to be cooked in water.....no, I insist, it can be done other ways. Then we get to artichokes.....and he asked me how "we" cook that.........I said "in water" !!! LOLOL He just acted like he was wiping sweat away from his brow........."eindelijk"!!! (finally.......something I cook in water....LOL) Okay, so it's not as funny on paper......but trust me, it was funny in the classroom.

Enough boring stories for one day!!! (Jeremiah 29:11)
