Unannounced Visits & Unexpected Guts Guests © Frank H. Jump
Yesterday my mother and I walked to the ancestral home of my great grandmother where she lived during WWII and later sold plants and flowers from her front parlor (see posting). We rang the bell and we were please to be let in by the lovely Monika The, who has lived here for almost 50 years. My mother Willy and I talked about how the neighborhood has become such a trafficked area and Monika told us how disrespectful people (tourists) and others can be. A film crew set up in front of her building without a permit, nor proper courtesy of asking if it was OK. These are some of the actors. We thought we’d seize the moment for a picture. Kare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare.
Hi Frank, I wrote you a message yesterday but I’m not sure it reached you.
The mysterie about the person that offered you the house is solved, it was Annemarie my son’s wife. She searched for this address on the Internet and found you of course.
I have very special good feelings about your and your Mam’s visit and I am really glad that you rang my bell.
Have a nice time for the rest of your stay in Holland,
Keep in touch,
Love to you both,
Monika
Hoi Monika! Ja dat klopt! Ik vind het zo fijn jou te ontmoeten ook. Destiny! Veel plezier in jou nieuwe huis en keep wel in touch! Hoe is dat voor gebroken Nederlands. xo Frank en Wil
