Christmas Miracle....come early December 11, 2017

October 28, 2017 while driving on the highway, there was a bump underneath our car. I saw an animal flash across the highway lanes. Sunday, October 29, 2017 Alert, our cat Tinka is missing. 9 years old, has never stayed away all night. This is not good. Panic strikes through my heart... No, it couldn't have been her under my car. No.....she's never crawled under a motor hood. Phonecalls, messages, posters, flyers, phoning vets, animal shelters, friends, Facebook notices. Urgent. It is getting cold outside, and winter is nearing. Storms, rains, freezing nights. My heart turns cold and freezes with pain. The thought that she has not been found.

If he didn't have the means to support himself, I will be there. But he has a full-time job, own car, and "hotel mom and dad" for the rest of his needs and desires. But it stops, wh...

Gliding along on thin ice is a delight......March 4, 2018

This past week has been a delight. Spring vacation was planned just right. Temperatures dropped and the easterly wind blew; This could be it, everyone knew. As the ice formed so did our hopes, ponds cordoned off, with ribbons and ropes. Scarves, mittens and super thick socks. Testing the ice at the end of the docks. After days and nights of freezing cold, the first few did try, and they were bold. As the word spread, the skating fever took hold All Hollands is skating, a sight to behold. One for the history books I am told. by Joanne Nauta 2018 People love to go skating, across the ice; It may be rather chilly, but it’s just so nice. People wrapped up in coats, gloves and scarves, Share each other’s company, and also some laughs. Fairy lights twinkle, up in the trees nearby. Excited eyes sparkle and spirits are high. Across the rink, the skaters twist and twirl; ...
