Olives... Eggs... Bubbles & Alleluja!!... HAPPY EASTER!

WE LOVE OLIVES!! What else can I say???

Happy Easter!! I hope that YOU had an EASTER filled with FAMILY... JOY... and JESUS! Oh... and BUBBLES!! I had forgotten what FUN bubbles could be!! We blew bubbles over and over again!! And we colored eggs... hid them... and looked for them like buried treasure... oh my! What FUN! And of course Easter cards and Easter dollars $ from Aunt June... for three generations now!! Thanks Aunt Junie!! (click photos to enlarge)

























So much fun with Mama & Dada!
Mama played the piano (Christ the Lord is Risen Today) while the girls danced around....
and more egg hunting!











I rejoice that we share the joy of a Risen Lord!... Matt. 28:6

Little Wooden Shoes, Bicycles, Canals, Van Gogh... Amazing Amsterdam

Little Wooden Shoes... the grandbabies love them! I wish I had bought a pair for my house too! Maybe next time! (click photo to enlarge)

I had heard about the bicycles... but until I saw it, I couldn't really imagine how many there are! EVERYWHERE!! And EVERYONE gets around on them!! There are bike lanes all around the city... maybe WE should try it here in the States as an alternative to our outrageous gas prices?? And a good cardio workout as well! ha!

I always love the old city/new traditions! This is a skate park in front of history...

The Van Gogh Museum... what a wonderful opportunity to see Rembrandt as well! It was all INCREDIBLE!! I bought a Van Gogh reproduction canvas of his work "Almond Blossoms"... he painted it for the birth of his brother's baby... so pretty. Such talent, so troubled, and not to be famous until after his death... a true tragedy.

Lovely canals... another way to get around this beautiful city.

If you know me, you know that I love a good pizza... so I had to try it here! Pretty good... and the "ambiance" of the location made it all worthwhile!

My hotel... such a great location... views of the canals and close to everything!

My friend Evelyn... she has been flying around the world for many years, and I always enjoy flying with her.

So glad to be part of the Continental Crew!
