Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

Sure is nice to see one of these. I wonder if I could get it shipped to my backyard to run the heat off of it....That's a lovely, serene photo. (It reminds me to slow down a bit, too.)
ReplyDeleteYou mean this is the first time you've posted a windmill? That's funny, Jenn! And a beautiful photo! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteWell now, it's about freaking time. ;) We got the clogs a few months back... which reminds me I still owe you a "No poo" picture. lol
ReplyDeleteI'll get right on that.
Beautifull Windmill..I also made lots of windmill photos last Monday when we went to Alkmaar :D
ReplyDeleteMy WW : Special tree
Thank you for the windmill picture, Jenn. Yes, it is about time for it.
ReplyDeleteMy guess? It is a tourist spot and none of the people living there ever go to the tourist place.
We saw lots of windmills when we were there in '92.
Thank you for your concern about Adi too. She is better today, it is already hard to keep her on light duty.
Happy WW/WT!
..
Wow! Is it Wednesday already?
ReplyDeleteWell dang all, guess I can't post my exact version of that photo....
ReplyDeleteI like windmills. I'd like to see Holland some day too.

ReplyDeleteLOL, Jen! It's a great photo and so iconic to me of cycling through Holland.
ReplyDeleteNice shot Jenn. Windmills make great photographic subjects be they in Holland or Essex. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteI love this!! It's so neat and I like the crispness that the winter sun brings to your shot. Nice windmill by the way! Thanks for dropping by :)

ReplyDeleteWell now you're no help at all trying to convince people about the weather in the Netherlands in February!! Where are the photos about the icestorm? And the windstorms that blew trees over and roofs off? What are you trying to do woman? Convince everyone that it's really not so bad so that they will all come over to play in the sunshine?!
ReplyDeleteOh! Okay now I get it!
