Hello everybody, It is almost November ... unbelievable.
We went to the 'black market in Beverwijk' to feel the Turkish atmosphere a little bit. We never had been there before and it was packed. Just like istanbul so to speak. Even Hema had an outlet store in the complex. As you can see Johan met his Blues Brothers there.. Nice trio isn't it?
Neshla celebrated her 19th birthday last weekend. Congratulations again.
Lia met Jet by accident at Schuiphol the other day. What a coincidence.
Have a good look at the small Bosporus in Abbenes. We heard they are planning a third brdige over this famous waterway.
Hi from Lia and Johan.

p.s. you see: if you really want you can win anything, even Wimbledon.

This week Bayram festivities are all over Istanbul. Now we are back in Holland we need a little Sugar Bayram and
invited our family to Abbenes to be together. Last week we also revisited innercities like Haarlem and Amsterdam. We even visted the Rijksmuseum and had a wonderful canal tour as well.
Pasa also had a new experience.. He got totally wet by passing our frontyard pool. He proved that also young cats can swim.
Some of our visitors enyoyed our Turkish sunroom as you can see.
We keep you posted .
Love from Lia and Johan

Last week we were invited for the 1st anniversary dinner of RPM. It took place in the trendy restaurant 15 in Amsterdam. All employees surprised Joop, the fouder with an old fashioned present with engraved texts like ''donated by all personnel...'' It was great fun and a wonderfull event.
Last weeks we had many guests of course. Besides our (grand)children and many good friends and other family we also had the reunion of the members of our sailing trip in Gocek (June this year). As you can see it was obvious that Dick is a womanizer first class.
We enjoy the presence of our little kittens. Although they dismantel our furniture we love them already. In a short while we think we can let them out in the open. Pasa sees what kind of mean animals are out there. But we are confident the little ones will manage.
Johan is working to have TolStream on the map. As you know it takes a little while before Streams become rivers... So we keep you posted.
Talk to you next time....Love from Lia and Johan
