Hi, everyone!
Grandma and Grandpa and I flew back to Belgium with Uncle Steven’s family to spend a few days after our Norway trip. The flight from Oslo to Charleroi isn’t very long, but getting to the airport in Oslo on the bus, checking in for the flight and driving from Charleroi back into the Netherlands to Brunssum took all of Tuesday! We had to stop for pizza at Happy Italy restaurant because we couldn’t get home in time for dinner. Continue reading “A Few Days in Brunssum!”
Hi, everyone!
After our tour in Iceland ended, we stayed in Keflavik overnight near the airport. We had to leave for the airport at 5 a.m. on Saturday, but it was already daylight! This flight took us farther east and a little bit south, to Oslo Norway. Uncle Steven and his family invited us to meet them there to take a short tour of Norway. Continue reading “Norway in a Nutshell!”
Hi, everyone!
We’ve seen a lot more of Iceland in the last three days! On Wednesday, Atli-san took us on the Golden Circle — the most famous tourist attractions in Iceland. First, we went to the thermal area in Selfoss. The most famous feature there is Geysir. Continue reading “More Iceland!”
Hi, everyone!
Last Wednesday I helped Grandpa put the last Trex deck boards on the lower section of the deck. Doesn’t it look nice? I thought we would finish the railing next, but Grandpa said we had to go out to Sodus to mow the lawn, instead. It was very windy when we went to the Point to watch sunset. The sand was blowing all over! Thursday was a little nicer, so we got the lawn mowed. I even had time to make friends with a tulip tree blossom before we went back to Fairport!
Friday morning, Grandma and Grandpa took me to the airport to start another trip! Grandma told me we were going to go walking in Iceland! Continue reading “Someplace New!”
Hi, everyone! Since the middle of May, I’ve been helping Grandma and Grandpa with projects at both Fairport and Sodus. It’s been a busy time! Grandma did take me back to Highland Park after the Lilac festival was over to see my lilac friends in full bloom. Continue reading “The Lilacs, the Dock and the Decking”
Hi, everyone!
The leaves are out on most of the trees now, so we are finally green! Grandma let me sit by the sliding glass door next to the deck, so I could make sure the red fox knew the rules for being in our yard! I think the fox understands Peaceable Kingdoms now. Continue reading “Weather or Not!”
Hi, everyone!
Some years where Grandma and Grandpa live there’s a single warm sunny spring day when all the leaves seem to pop out at once. That hasn’t happened here this year! It’s been colder than normal with a lot of chilly rain. So the leaves are opening slowly and the flowers look discouraged! Continue reading “Gradually Green!”
Hi, everyone!
Now that it has stopped snowing, I’m helping Grandma and Grandpa do some of the spring chores. There’s lots to do out at Sodus, so I make sure to be ready to go when Grandma and Grandpa are headed there. We’ve had some pretty sunrises, so we get up early! Continue reading “Now That It’s Really Spring …”
Hi, everyone!
I haven’t written for a while because Grandma and Uncle David were having technical problems with my blog. When they fixed it, they decided to give my blog a new look! I hope you like it!
I thought I’d found spring, and then it snowed, and now I think I’m beginning to find it again! At least the last snow has mostly melted and my daffodil friends are back!
Hi, everyone!
Before Grandma and Grandpa and I left Maui, we had some time to sit next to the beach and watch the whales. I liked the Hawaii cookies! Just before we left, it started raining! The showers were heavy, but they didn’t last long! On our way to the airport, we had lunch at Haile i’maile General Store. I didn’t get to see my friend Bev-san, the owner, this trip, but I did have a piece of her famous crab pizza! By the time we got to the airport it was sunny again! On the last leg of the trip home, from Chicago to Rochester, it was only sunny above the clouds and I could see lots of snow on the ground!
