Maar het is even alles of niets. Het lezen en commentaar geven op jullie blogs heb ik altijd graag gedaan maar het is ook tijdrovend. En ik moet me nu gaan concentreren om weer gezond te worden.&lt;br /&gt;Ik wil jullie bedanken voor al het plezier dat ik de afgelopen maanden aan het bloggen heb beleefd. En voor alle lieve mensen die ik door het bloggen virtueel ontmoet heb.&lt;br /&gt;Dus ja...ik zal jullie echt gaan missen. Maar wie weet kom ik jullie ooit weer tegen....ik hoop toch op betere tijden in huize Sans Soucis.&lt;br /&gt;Een dikke knuffel voor jullie allemaal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Well....there isn´t a easy way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So let´s make it quick and easy. Due to health problems I have to stop with the internet fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I will miss you! But for now the best thing to do is to concentrate on my health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I want to thank you for all the joy I got out of blogging. Your comments made sometimes my day. And I (virtually) met people with the biggest hearts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So yes...I really will miss you.

Corner View, that has been the idea of Jane of &lt;a href="http://spaindaily.blogspot.com/"&gt;Spain Daily&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;And I love it, for so many reasons.&lt;br /&gt;For one that i got to to learn so much more about other cultures and other people. I love the fact that although we speak different languages and have sometimes such different lives we all connect through this weekly View.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it is sad, , sometimes it is showing me things in different ways, sometimes it is intellectually challenging and sometimes it is just hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;And sometimes I just drool over the pictures and dream of other places where I would love to go or even better...want to live.&lt;br /&gt;I met wonderful people through the View and that´s the best part.&lt;br /&gt;So a big  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;T H A N K        Y O U&lt;/span&gt; , Jane, for starting it all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-846822315519488162?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/846822315519488162/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-birthday-dear-corner-view.html#comment-form' title='26 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/846822315519488162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/846822315519488162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-birthday-dear-corner-view.html' title='Happy Birthday  dear Corner View ;)'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8Wqie-zrfI/AAAAAAAABII/fxNDuGzZ2RA/s72-c/HappyBirthday.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-4487291633872336641</id><published>2010-04-13T03:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-14T04:27:21.028-07:00</updated><title type='text'>He really, really loves me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RROQRqkXI/AAAAAAAABH4/SkKF5lKdamM/s1600/IMG_0485.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RROQRqkXI/AAAAAAAABH4/SkKF5lKdamM/s400/IMG_0485.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459577953608962418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" &gt;My favorite find.&lt;br /&gt;A large vintage black/white photo from 1924 taken in Egypt. Those Bedouin girls are beautiful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zet mij op een rommelmarkt en je hebt geen kind meer aan me. Dat weet de man natuurlijk ook. Punt alleen...hij vind er echt geen bal aan. En da´s niet handig!&lt;br /&gt;Hij verveelt zich al na een paar kraampjes. Ik zie dat vanuit mijn ooghoeken terwijl ik als een wildebeest de kraampjes afschuim. Ben ik echt op dreef dan heeft hij pech en staat hij meestal ergens aan het einde van een rij kraampjes verveeld met de armen over elkaar. Maar meestal ben ik sociaal en ga ik in record tijd langs alles wat me toelacht.&lt;br /&gt;Wil ik het helemaal perfect voor elkaar hebben dan is dit het ideale scenario: Mark neemt een lekker dik boek mee en hij installeert zich met boek en een bak thee in een café of in de zomer op het gras. Ik ga dan op mijn dooie gemak en zonder een hete adem in mijn nek op rooftocht. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afgelopen zondag gingen we naar Berlijn. De eerste stop was de rommelmarkt op de Arkonaplatz in Berlijn. Klein maar erg gezellig. Het was trouwens behoorlijk fris, handschoenen waren geen overbodige luxe  geweest.&lt;br /&gt;Ik dacht dat het daarna wel leuk was geweest. Ik had mijn lol gehad, zelfs wat gescoord. Dus Jetje was happy. Maar dan verrast de man me door naar nog een rommelmarkt te willen!!!!! Hèèèè? Weet je het zeker? Hoeft niet hoor! (duuuuh)&lt;br /&gt;Maar we gingen dus nog naar de Mauerplatz....waar hij eindelijk ook zijn kop thee kreeg.&lt;br /&gt;En daarom weet ik dat hij van me houdt, echt waar! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RRJHF44tI/AAAAAAAABHw/tzekgB-tgBo/s1600/IMG_0492.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RRJHF44tI/AAAAAAAABHw/tzekgB-tgBo/s400/IMG_0492.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459577865244304082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQ4Bc7AZI/AAAAAAAABHo/bMEfjl8nfrk/s1600/IMG_0487-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQ4Bc7AZI/AAAAAAAABHo/bMEfjl8nfrk/s400/IMG_0487-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459577571672523154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQyin_ENI/AAAAAAAABHg/_ULtHgJpOWg/s1600/IMG_0486.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQyin_ENI/AAAAAAAABHg/_ULtHgJpOWg/s400/IMG_0486.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459577477498081490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;I´m so easy to please. Put me on a flea market and I´m lucky as can be. Pure bliss!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;And of course Mark knows that. But....it isn´t his cup of tea. Fleamarkets and Mark...well ..they just aren´t made for each other. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;He gets bored after just a few stalls. I can see it from the corner of my eye as I am scouring the grounds. If I´m really in the mood, I try to ignore that and he usually waits somewhere at the end of a row of stalls, bored to death. But usually I'm social and I go in record time through the isles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;If I want to have all the time that I want this would  be the ideal scenario: Mark takes a nice book with him and installs himself in a cafe with his book and cup of tea. I then will have all the time in the world to hunt for treasures without guilt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;Last Sunday we went to Berlin. The first stop was the fleamarktet at Arkonaplatz in Berlin. Small but very cozy. It was rather cold though and gloves would really not have been a luxury.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;I was happy to go home after that. I had my fun and even found some nice things.  But then he surprised me by saying that we were going to another flea market !!!!! Hèèèè? Are you sure? We really don´t have to! (Duuuuh)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;So we went to the Mauerpark flea market .... where he finally got his cup of tea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;And so I know ... he loves me, really! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQnYbW2nI/AAAAAAAABHY/V6uqFKL4e7A/s1600/wip.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RQnYbW2nI/AAAAAAAABHY/V6uqFKL4e7A/s400/wip.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459577285782198898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-4487291633872336641?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/4487291633872336641/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/he-really-really-loves-me.html#comment-form' title='16 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/4487291633872336641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/4487291633872336641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/he-really-really-loves-me.html' title='He really, really loves me'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8RROQRqkXI/AAAAAAAABH4/SkKF5lKdamM/s72-c/IMG_0485.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-5612700910580753320</id><published>2010-04-12T02:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-12T03:30:09.902-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bedankt, merci, thank you, danke...kiitos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8L1S0ERYdI/AAAAAAAABHQ/CrFKYBdD3Y4/s1600/IMG_0461.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8L1S0ERYdI/AAAAAAAABHQ/CrFKYBdD3Y4/s400/IMG_0461.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459195401889472978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dames...jullie waren geweldig!

Lang leve blogland!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;And I´m such a lucky woman....a big thank you to Nina of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);" href="http://houseoftempsperdu.blogspot.com/"&gt;Temps Perdu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;. I won this wonderful framed artwork from her. So delicate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her butterfly note found a place on the mirror next to the big moth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;Nina is such a sweet person and makes the most amazing things. I just love going to her blog and read her Finnish adventures. ;) Kiitos Nina!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-5612700910580753320?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/5612700910580753320/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/bedankt-merci-thank-you-dankekiitos.html#comment-form' title='13 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5612700910580753320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5612700910580753320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/bedankt-merci-thank-you-dankekiitos.html' title='Bedankt, merci, thank you, danke...kiitos'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S8L1S0ERYdI/AAAAAAAABHQ/CrFKYBdD3Y4/s72-c/IMG_0461.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-371615497384282818</id><published>2010-04-07T02:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T02:58:48.716-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7xWx55U7LI/AAAAAAAABGg/eRns231a784/s1600/IMG_0464.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7xWx55U7LI/AAAAAAAABGg/eRns231a784/s400/IMG_0464.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457332263821044914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al sinds het begin dat we hier wonen miste ik een tafel in de keuken. ons vorige huis had een echte leefkeuken met grote tafel waar ik uren kon zitten.&lt;br /&gt;Hier had ik alleen een stoel. En dat is het toch niet helemaal. Ik weet niet hoe het met jullie zit maar ik en ook mijn vriendinnen blijven op de één of andere manier altijd plakken in de keuken. En dan is het toch wat onhandig als je er maar één stoel hebt staan. De rest moet altijd maar hangen tegen het aanrecht of zitten op kleine kinderkrukjes.&lt;br /&gt;Dus om het nog wat voller te maken in onze toch al propvolle kleine keuken.......tadaaah.....de nieuwe tafel!&lt;br /&gt;En ik ben er zo blij mee als een kind. Mark heeft gisteravond de hele avond aan moeten horen hoe geweldig ik het vind. En tja ....het blijft een man....na één keer ja geknikt te hebben is de koek toch wel op. Dus hoop ik hier nog even voor meer aaaahs en oooohs..en meer van dat soort positieve reacties. Want ik is BLIJ! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7xW30SFKNI/AAAAAAAABGo/EvflNn_jlYo/s1600/IMG_0460.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7xW30SFKNI/AAAAAAAABGo/EvflNn_jlYo/s400/IMG_0460.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457332365393471698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Since we moved in I really missed a kitchen table. Our previous house had a big kitchen with room for a large table. In this kitchen I only had one chair. And I don´t know how it is with you but... whenever I have friends around we tend to hang around in the kitchen. And with only one chair...only one gets lucky. The rest has to rest against the sink or has to sit on tiny stools. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So to make our tiny kitchen even more cramped....tadaaaah ...here is our new kitchen table!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And I´m happy as can be. Mark had to listen all night to me being hysterical happy about the table and well....being a man....after a few times he got bored agreing with me. There is only so much a man can take when it comes to girly stuff. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So to get just some more aaaahs and oooohs and more of that kind of positive reactions I count on you!

En zonder hen was het leven een stuk saaier geweest hier in Potsdam.&lt;br /&gt;Ze zijn mijn tweede familie geworden. En wat voor een familie!&lt;br /&gt;Ze zijn wild, luid en avontuurlijk maar bovenal zijn ze hartverwarmend. Het is alsof je in een Pippi Langkoushuishouding wordt opgenomen. Vijf rondrennende drukke kinderen, een knettergekke maar o zo lieve hond en de artistieke ouders. Het maakt mijn dagelijks leven een stuk gezelliger. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Ze zijn beide werkzaam in de filmwereld en verhuren hun huis vaak voor film- of fotoshoots. Het huis veranderd haast maandelijks, soms wekelijks.&lt;br /&gt;Ik zou daar knettergek van worden en zij soms ook maar het is er nooit saai. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Het afgelopen weekend was er ook weer een filmopname en liepen er ca. 40 mensen door het huis. De benedenverdieping was één grote filmset en alle kamers hebben weer een nieuwe kleur gekregen.&lt;br /&gt;Het is elke keer weer geweldig om te zien hoe met requisieten en ander behang een kamer totaal veranderd. In 3 jaar tijd heeft het huis al heel wat gezichten gehad.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb een geweldige lieve familie in Nederland maar ik ben blij dat ik hier mijn tweede familie heb gevonden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7w0YOFB2eI/AAAAAAAABGQ/Imp5SkcWYtE/s1600/IMG_0399.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7w0YOFB2eI/AAAAAAAABGQ/Imp5SkcWYtE/s400/IMG_0399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457294439166892514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;This is a peek into the dining room of friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They live in the same street and I got to know them when we just moved here. And without them, life would have been so much duller here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have become my second family. And what a family!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are wild, loud, adventurous and above all they are heartwarming. It's like being adopted into a  Pippi Longstocking household. Five children are running around, a crazy but oh so sweet dog and the two artistic parents. It makes my daily life a lot more exciting. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are both working in the film world and rent their house often for film or photo shoots. The house changes almost monthly, sometimes weekly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would go nuts to go through that every time and sometimes they do, but it is never boring. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend there was also a film shoot and there were about 40 people through the house. The ground floor was a big movie set and all rooms became a new color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is every time great to see how some props and a different wallpaper can change a room completely. In 3 years time the house has already had many faces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a wonderful loving family in the Netherlands but I'm glad I've found my second family here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you guys!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1915815861554695909?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1915815861554695909/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-second-family.html#comment-form' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1915815861554695909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1915815861554695909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-second-family.html' title='My second family'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7w0PU2QLJI/AAAAAAAABGI/Z332oq7lEOE/s72-c/1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-7291865119201050031</id><published>2010-04-05T05:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-05T08:59:42.218-07:00</updated><title type='text'>And the Bunny goes to......................</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7neEdQWySI/AAAAAAAABFg/yfY786WWFBs/s1600/IMG_0326.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7neEdQWySI/AAAAAAAABFg/yfY786WWFBs/s400/IMG_0326.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456636591690139938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://danslelavabo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Valerie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I will send ze bunny on it´s way to beautiful France.

Het konijn boft maar! Ik zou zou mee willen in het pakketje richting Bretagne.&lt;br /&gt;Het was de bedoeling dat de katten de gelukkige winnaar zouden kiezen maar die vertikten het om een eitje uit de kom te mikken. Dus de man maar geblinddoekt. Hij liet het maar over zich heenkomen...da´s pas echte liefde! ;)&lt;br /&gt;En omdat ik het eigenlijk iedereen had gegund komt er binnenkort nog een giveaway. Dus houdt het hier in de gaten en wie weet.....de volgende keer beter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-7291865119201050031?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/7291865119201050031/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/and-bunny-goes-to.html#comment-form' title='14 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/7291865119201050031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/7291865119201050031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/04/and-bunny-goes-to.html' title='And the Bunny goes to......................'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7neEdQWySI/AAAAAAAABFg/yfY786WWFBs/s72-c/IMG_0326.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-5995044591922235874</id><published>2010-03-26T02:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-30T15:25:43.450-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Easter Giveaway</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7J5-MGMyCI/AAAAAAAABFY/32t0mGQhReY/s1600/722_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7J5-MGMyCI/AAAAAAAABFY/32t0mGQhReY/s400/722_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454556208005171234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Het bekende origineel ...... de winnaar krijgt een zwarte!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The white lamp....the winner will get a black one!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6yAqvDphoI/AAAAAAAABEs/M8aXZlOWIlI/s1600/IMG_0327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6yAqvDphoI/AAAAAAAABEs/M8aXZlOWIlI/s400/IMG_0327.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452874720513459842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er is eigenlijk geen speciale reden voor deze giveaway.&lt;br /&gt;Ik blog nu meer dan een jaar. Er waren tijden dat ik soms niet wist of ik nog wel wat te melden had, maar ik heb altijd genoten van het lezen van de blogs van anderen.&lt;br /&gt;En vond ik prachtige blogs, grappige, lieve en getalenteerde mensen, las ik inspirerende posts en heb ik veel geleerd. En jullie commentaren deden me altijd goed.&lt;br /&gt;Om eerlijk te zijn ... het afgelopen jaar was niet gemakkelijk maar door jullie werd het een stuk gemakkelijk en een stuk gezelliger. ;) Dus dit is een soort dank je wel aan iedereen.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb het geluk had om een giveaway te winnen en ik was er reuzeblij mee. Dus vandaag heb ik besloten om iemand anders gelukkig maken.&lt;br /&gt;Dit konijnen nachtlampje wil een nieuw huis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoe kun je meedoen? Dat is simpel, je hoeft alleen maar een commentaar achter te laten.&lt;br /&gt;De giveaway is open voor iedereen. En als je geen blog hebt, niet erg, gewoon je e-mail in het commentaar geven.&lt;br /&gt;Op Tweede Paasdag wordt de winnaar bekend gemaakt. Good luck! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En een heel gezellig weekend allemaal,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6yBuh_eI9I/AAAAAAAABE0/U2mwU8Ih2gY/s1600/IMG_0329.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6yBuh_eI9I/AAAAAAAABE0/U2mwU8Ih2gY/s400/IMG_0329.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452875885237380050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;There is no special reason for this giveaway. I just want to say thanks to all of you who made me smile, made me cry and who inspired me. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;I am blogging now for more than a year. There were times that I didn´t feel inspired but I always enjoyed reading the blogs of others. And through the year I found amazing blogs, wonderful people, inspiring posts and I learned a lot. If I was feeling low, your comments made me feel better. And to be honest...you pulled me through a lonely year with Mark gone half of the time.&lt;br /&gt;So this is a big thank you for all of this.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;I have had the good luck to win a giveaway and it really was such a great thing. So today I decided to make someone else happy.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;This Bunny night lamp wants a new home. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you enter? That’s fairly simple, just go leave a comment. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;The giveaway is open to everyone on this lovely planet. And if you don´t have a blog just leave your email in the comment. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will announce on Easter Monday if this Bunny will come to your place. Good luck! ;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-5995044591922235874?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/5995044591922235874/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/03/easter-giveaway.html#comment-form' title='49 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5995044591922235874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5995044591922235874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/03/easter-giveaway.html' title='Easter Giveaway'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S7J5-MGMyCI/AAAAAAAABFY/32t0mGQhReY/s72-c/722_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>49</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-1346594227811195931</id><published>2010-03-24T12:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T12:47:26.335-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Blogging for dummies</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6prxJPW95I/AAAAAAAABEk/H2H9LX7mTNM/s1600/eBayISAPI1-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 339px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6prxJPW95I/AAAAAAAABEk/H2H9LX7mTNM/s400/eBayISAPI1-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452288790923507602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben echt het perfecte voorbeeld van iemand die maar wat aanrommelt op het internet zonder enig idee wat en hoe. Dat ik een blog kon produceren vond ik al heel wat maar verder dan de basis ben ik nooit gekomen.&lt;br /&gt;Elke dag zie ik de meest prachtige blogs met mooie layouts en schitterende foto´s.&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben al blij als ik iets simpels als het veranderen van mijn header voor elkaar krijg. Ik ben te schijterig om mijn layout te veranderen, stel dat ik dan alles kwijt raak.&lt;br /&gt;Ik weet bijv. ook niet hoe je foto´s in je sidebar moet zetten en meer van dat soort dingen. Dus mocht er ooit Bloggen voor Dummies uitkomen....ik ben de eerste die zo´n boek koopt. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;Ik weet niet hoe het met jullie zit, maar ik ben dus het type dat nooit een gebruiksaanwijzing leest. Dom...ik weet het....want daardoor mis je een boel.&lt;br /&gt;Zo ook met Picasa. Ik zet er mijn foto´s op, bewerk ze zo goed en kwaad als het gaat en that´s it.&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag heb ik dus ontdekt dat ik op Picasa ook een collage kan maken. Naaaah....geweldig! Er moet nog aan gespijkerd worden maar tatatataaah....hier mijn eerste collage van zo maar wat dingen in ons huis. Ik zit hier te glimmen van trots. Ha! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I really am the perfect example of someone who is just playing around on the internet without a clue. That I made a blog was something but I never made it further than the basics. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Every day I see the most gorgeous blogs with pretty layouts and stunning pictures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I am just plain happy when I can do something simple like changing my header. I am to scared to change the layout of my blog .....what if everything just disappears? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I wouldn´t know how to place pictures in the sidebar. If there will be Blogging for Dummies....I would probably be the first to buy it. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I´m the kind of person who never reads manuals and just uses things. Really stupid.....I know...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;It is the same with Picassa....I use it but I never explored what I can do with it.  Today I found out that I can make a collage on Picasa.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Tadaah....my first collage of things around our house. I´m beaming with pride. ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Oh....and dear Corner Viewers. I will return soon to the mothership. I have been missing in action for weeks and I really feel bad about it. I just blame it on the long winter and being in hibernation. So...don´t forget about me...I will be back! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Have a great week,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1346594227811195931?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1346594227811195931/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/03/blogging-for-dummies.html#comment-form' title='20 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1346594227811195931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1346594227811195931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/03/blogging-for-dummies.html' title='Blogging for dummies'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6prxJPW95I/AAAAAAAABEk/H2H9LX7mTNM/s72-c/eBayISAPI1-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-1861456896117599729</id><published>2010-03-22T02:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T03:13:26.503-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wintercoats .....adieu!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6c9vGZ0LkI/AAAAAAAABDs/PmSSJakT0EI/s1600-h/IMG_0314.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6c9vGZ0LkI/AAAAAAAABDs/PmSSJakT0EI/s400/IMG_0314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451393753337310786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De winterjassen zijn opgeruimd en ik hoop dat het nog heeeeel lang duurt voordat ik die weer zie. Ik ben normaal een wintermens maar ik ben echt blij dat het voorbij is.&lt;br /&gt;Het was de winter van de minste zon en dat heb ik echt gemist. Nu schijnt het zonnetje en ik krijg al visioenen van fietstochtjes naar mijn strandbar. ;) Dat moet toch nog maar even wachten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;The wintercoats are cleared out of our hallway.

De letter M was uitverkocht dus had hij maar de L meegenomen (onze achternaam begint met L).

En dus was het of bestek van de Ikea of van de rommelmarkt. Niet echt chic dus. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Deze vind ik dus helemaal perfect.....mijn paardenbloemen bestek.&lt;br /&gt;En opeens is het niet zo erg meer dat hij om de vijf, zes weken naar Amerika moet. Hij is nu een man met een missie.....Anthropologie leegkopen voor het thuisfront!&lt;br /&gt;Ik ken straks de catalogus uit mijn hoofd. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And this dandelion greens flatware set. So pretty, upon closer inspection you see that they are laser-etched with flower buds. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Utensils are one of those things that I've been looking to buy for the past few years but I never could find the ones that I really liked. So I always ended up with fleamarket flatware or a set from Ikea. These are perfect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So instead of being sad that he is away I now can´t wait for him to return to the US, so he can bring home some more of these sets. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I think I know every little detail of the Anthro catalogue by heart. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6c-8QO2zVI/AAAAAAAABEc/wKqlNZFTRuk/s1600-h/IMG_0267.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6c-8QO2zVI/AAAAAAAABEc/wKqlNZFTRuk/s400/IMG_0267.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451395078825626962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben dus razend verwend. En z´n andere ´meiden´ hadden evenveel lol ....die hadden uren lol met het inpakpapier.&lt;br /&gt;Maar ik ben blij dat hij weer terug is. Kadootjes zijn natuurlijk leuk maar ik heb hem toch liever op de bank ´s avonds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I am so spoiled! I am like a little kid that can´t wait to see what he has bought me.

Compleet Potsdam had volgens mij ineens de zomer in de bol. De jassen werden uitgetrokken en de fietsen uit het vet gehaald. De gezichten waren vrolijker en er werd volgens mij massaal bloemen ingekocht. Ik had ook ineens de onbedwingbare behoefte om kersenbloesemtakken te kopen en mijn paasversieringen op te zoeken.&lt;br /&gt;Het was een lange, lange winter maar volgens zijn we vandaag allemaal uit onze winterslaap verlost en waren we allemaal happy! Zelfs de katten hebben de hele dag in het zonnetje gelegen.&lt;br /&gt;En het zal morgen geloof ik weer regenen maar vandaag was het voor mij .... fun in the sun! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6J47Esk2oI/AAAAAAAABDk/lb6XOTjvV7s/s1600-h/IMG_0264.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S6J47Esk2oI/AAAAAAAABDk/lb6XOTjvV7s/s400/IMG_0264.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450051455340042882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;On Sunday our town was covered in snow and today I had a lunch in the garden of my friend!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;The weather was just amazing. I had a ride on my bike and you could really feel that Spring was in the air.

Hij kan maar beter niet  bellen vannacht en melden dat hij lekker in de zon zit. Ik gun hem echt zijn ´fun in the sun´ maar ik wil het alleen even niet horen. Kinderachtig eigenlijk. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Maar er is ook een leuke kant aan zijn verblijf in Amerika. Ik kan dan wel weer een wenslijstje maken van dingen die hij voor me mee zou kunnen nemen. De laatste keer heeft hij me mijn nieuwe favoriete beker gekocht en mijn Paasboom, beide bij Anthropologie.

De blogpauze heeft iets langer geduurd dan ik gedacht had.&lt;br /&gt;December en januari waren niet mijn favoriete maanden. Ik heb het gevoel of ik aan het veranderen ben in een eekhoorntje die haar winterslaap houdt. Er ligt al 7!!!!! weken sneeuw en ik ben misschien één van de weinigen.....maar ik ben het echt meer dan zat. De eerste dagen was ik helemaal in de wolken en stond de dansen voor het raam bij het zien van zoveel sneeuw.&lt;br /&gt;Maar de reis naar Nederland viel in het water en Mark ging gezellig door zijn rug aan het begin van de vakantie en lag de rest van de vakantie horizontaal op de bank.&lt;br /&gt;Daarna vertrok hij voor een aantal weken naar California. En tja....ik ....ik ging op winterslaap stand. En mijn laptop besloot hetzelfde te doen. Ik kon zo nu en dan op het internet maar ik heb veel gemist. Ik heb dus heel wat in te halen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ik vind dat ik eigenlijk ook helemaal niet moet zeuren na het lezen van sommige verdrietige berichten van andere bloggers. Bij het verlies van een geliefd familielid valt een winterdipje wel heel erg mee. En mijn hart gaat uit naar allen die nu zo´n moeilijke tijd hebben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S3LlSPUjyBI/AAAAAAAABBA/3NLB_S3hteg/s1600-h/IMG_4378.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S3LlSPUjyBI/AAAAAAAABBA/3NLB_S3hteg/s400/IMG_4378.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436659801702778898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben echt heel blij met al jullie berichtjes en emails....en ik beloof dat ik jullie allemaal binnenkort weer bezoek en gezellig kom babbelen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar vandaag komt een vriend van Mark op bezoek en reis ik morgen met hem mee naar Nederland. Volgende week zijn mijn ouders jarig en ik wil natuurlijk wel meegenieten van de taart. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Dus ben ik nog even 2 weken weg en hoop dan weer full force terug te keren in blogland. Jullie zijn me nog niet kwijt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S3LLOZ2DcpI/AAAAAAAABAo/0pZYHWH1AhI/s1600-h/IMG_4383.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S3LLOZ2DcpI/AAAAAAAABAo/0pZYHWH1AhI/s400/IMG_4383.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436631148505821842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Hi ..... here I am again. The blog break did last a little longer than I thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;December and January were not my favorite months. I feel like I'm changing into a squirrel who went into hibernation. There's already 7 !!!!! weeks of snow and I am perhaps one of the few ..... but I'm really so fed up with it.  The first days I was over the moon and was dancing in front of the window to see that much snow. Now I just want it to go away and I long for the sun to come out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;My trip to Holland had to be cancelled because I got infected with the Nori-virus and Mark went through his back at the start of the holiday and so he had to spend the of December on his beloved couch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;In January he went to California for several weeks. And well .... I .... I went into hibernation mode. My laptop decided to do the same. I could occasionally go on the internet but I've missed much. So I have a lot to catch up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And I think I actually should not complain after reading some sad messages from other bloggers. The loss of a beloved family member ....that really put things into perspective for me. And my heart goes out to all of you going through such a difficult time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I'm really happy with all the messages and emails .... and I promise that I visit you all again soon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;But today a friend of Mark is visiting us and he drives me ´home´ tomorrow to the Netherlands. Next week my parents celebrate their birthdays and I love it that I can be part of that and have some cake of course. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So I am away for another 2 weeks and hope to return again full force in blog land after that. You have not heard the last of me yet. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;A big hug to all of you,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1144996877818993638?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1144996877818993638/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/02/cabin-fever.html#comment-form' title='34 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1144996877818993638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1144996877818993638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2010/02/cabin-fever.html' title='Cabin fever'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/S3LLTtwR01I/AAAAAAAABAw/pcj46SbXjOM/s72-c/mosaic.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>34</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-1108888832408318091</id><published>2009-12-11T12:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T13:09:09.165-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SyK0hhl4HFI/AAAAAAAAA-o/laJ4UILIssM/s1600-h/IMG_4310.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SyK0hhl4HFI/AAAAAAAAA-o/laJ4UILIssM/s400/IMG_4310.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414088190098676818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De komende week ben ik bij mijn ouders in Holland. Na die week heeft Mark twee weken welverdiende vakantie.&lt;br /&gt;Afgelopen maandag vierden we onze 9e huwelijksdag. Sjonge, het lijkt nog maar een paar jaar geleden. How time flies when you are having fun. ;)&lt;br /&gt;En op Oudejaarsavond hebben we alweer een romantisch hoogtepunt.....de eerste zoen is dan 16 jaar geleden. Hij kwam, zag en overwon toen hij met een dienblad vol met cocktails mijn Oudejaarsfeestje kwam binnenvallen. Ik keek hem aan en wist dat dit de man was waarmee ik oud zou willen worden. Ongelooflijk cliché maar het schijnt te lukken. ;)&lt;br /&gt;En daarom neem ik de rest van de maand December een blogpauze om tijd door te brengen met familie, vrienden en vooral mijn man.&lt;br /&gt;Ik wens jullie allemaal hele fijne feestdagen, met veel liefde en plezier met jullie geliefden, vrienden en familie.&lt;br /&gt;Ik zie jullie weer in 2010!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I´m off to Holland to spend some pre Christmas time with my family and friends. After that Mark has a two week holiday. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Last Monday was our 9th wedding anniversary. It only seems like a few years back that we had our fun wedding. Time flies when you´re having fun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And on New Year´s Eve we celebrate the fact that he kissed me for the first time 16 years ago and I fell head over heels in love with him. The moment he walked through the door on my New Year´s Eve party I knew that he was the man I was hoping to grow old with. So cliché but it seems that it might gonna happen. ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So I´m taking a blogpause for the rest of December to spend some time with my family, friends and especially my husband.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I´m wishing you all a Merry Christmas with lots of laughter and love with your loved ones. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And I will catch up with you in 2010! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1108888832408318091?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1108888832408318091/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.html#comment-form' title='41 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1108888832408318091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1108888832408318091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.html' title='Merry Christmas'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SyK0hhl4HFI/AAAAAAAAA-o/laJ4UILIssM/s72-c/IMG_4310.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>41</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-4419502160882901959</id><published>2009-12-09T08:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T14:40:31.694-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Corner view " Evening"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_ma1_HBRI/AAAAAAAAA9w/qQ3komE20Ak/s1600-h/IMG_4278.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_ma1_HBRI/AAAAAAAAA9w/qQ3komE20Ak/s400/IMG_4278.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413298625965393170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_mfTaLm-I/AAAAAAAAA94/vMpSPf_7dsg/s1600-h/IMG_4259.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_mfTaLm-I/AAAAAAAAA94/vMpSPf_7dsg/s400/IMG_4259.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413298702583045090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I got my gift my from Mark....the vintage white Christmas tree. Can it get more fake than that? ;)&lt;br /&gt;I don´t know who likes it more...me or miss Kitty. I put it up and one minute later she hang upside down in it!&lt;br /&gt;So there it stands...all naked. I guess this year the decoration will be in grey and white, aka miss Kitty! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Vandaag mijn kadootje van Mark gekregen...de witte vintage kerstboom. Kitscher dan kitsch en ik vind het prachtig. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Probleempje! Zoals ik al geschreven had...we hebben miss Kitty in huis en die is nogal een wilde. Ik had de boom net uitgepakt en wilde het gauw op de foto zetten voor Mark die weer es in het buitenland zit. Ik kom de kamer in en ja hoor.....de dame hing op de kop in de boom!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Dus de trend voor deze winter qua kleur in de boom.....grijs en wit oftewel een kluitje kitten. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_lVAN-vkI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/2OYVzJMOMVw/s1600-h/2080245279_5931253830.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_lVAN-vkI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/2OYVzJMOMVw/s400/2080245279_5931253830.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413297426121276994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_lcxWONdI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/vfb1B2z0o1Q/s1600-h/2080246117_14513d2814.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sx_lcxWONdI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/vfb1B2z0o1Q/s400/2080246117_14513d2814.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413297559568266706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Potsdam in the evening is quite beautiful right now.

Ik heb zoveel oude kerstversieringen dat ik meerdere bomen zou kunnen volhangen. En dat gebeurde dan ook vaak in de vorige jaren! Eén met de antieke kerstballen, één vol met paddenstoelen en zilveren dennenappels en één vol met de gekleurde ballen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar ja, dit jaar hebben we dus Miss Kitty en met haar in huis kan ik de bomen wel vergeten. Niet helemaal....want ik heb net een antieke witte kerstboom gekregen van Mark en die gaat dus echt wel in de kamer. Dan maar goedkope en onbreekbare versieringen. We zien wel hoelang het duurt  voor het ettertje in de boom hangt. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naast dozen vol met kerstballen heb ik ook nog een oude kist vol met van alles en nog wat. Oude kerstboompjes, matrouschka´s, kitschige kerstslingers, hertenkoppen (rustig maar, ze zijn van plastic), kerstmannetjes en weet ik wat nog meer.&lt;br /&gt;Hier alvast een klein deel van de verzameltic. Ik heb echt te veel en er moet eens gedeelte weg. Volgende week moet ik misschien maar eens gaan opruimen.

I have collected so many old Christmas decorations that I could decorate several trees. And that is just what I did in the previous years! One with the antique Christmas balls, one filled with red and white mushrooms and pine cones and one tree filled vintage multi-colored ornaments.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;But, this year we have Miss Kitty and with her house there will be no Christmas tree extravanganza. Uhm, but one .... because Mark just bought me a vintage white Christmas tree and well......that just has to have a place in the sitting room. I will decorate it with some cheap and unbreakable ornaments. We'll see how long it takes for the little rat hangs in the tree. ;)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Besides boxes full of tree deco, I also have an old chest full of odds and bits. Old Christmas trees, matrouschka's, kitsch Christmas garlands, deer heads (calm down, they are plastic), Santa Clauses and I don´t know what else.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Here's a small part of the what I have gathered through the years.

Van &lt;a href="http://marenshus.blogspot.com/"&gt;Maren&lt;/a&gt; kreeg ik een doos vol prachtige Kerstkadootjes. Vogels, een X-Mas wimpel, prachtige kerstkaarten en een heel mooi gemaakt kruis. Ik weet het, vandaag vieren jullie in Nederland Sinterklaas. Maar ik ben toch wel heel blij met mijn ´Kerstbuit`. ;) Een soort pakjesavond gevoel had ik wel.&lt;br /&gt;Sinterklaas vieren we pas volgende week. Want dan komt de goedheiligman naar Potsdam. In het Holländische Viertel. Dit is een wijkje in Potsdam die in de 17e eeuw speciaal gebouwd is door Frederik de Grote voor de Nederlandse arbeiders. Met geveltjes en al. En daar komt dus volgende week Sinterklaas op bezoek.&lt;br /&gt;Vorig jaar stond ik haast te janken om een zwarte Piet die Nederlandse sinterklaasliedjes zong. Hoezo heimwee? Het moet niet gekker worden! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Verder is er vaak een stand met echte Hollandse stroopwafels....heerlijk! En veel mensen in de geijkte hollandse klederdracht. En meestal is er ook een dwijlorkest...de Duitsers genieten daar net zo van als ik. Als Hollander heb ik toch even het gevoel weer ´thuis´ te zijn. &lt;br /&gt;Maar vreemd blijft het wel om een week na Sinterklaas de goede man weer hier te zien. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SxppIyYgK9I/AAAAAAAAA5I/nnF0OpFCS3M/s1600-h/IMG_4202.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SxppIyYgK9I/AAAAAAAAA5I/nnF0OpFCS3M/s400/IMG_4202.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411753501923486674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Yesterday I received a great gift from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);" href="http://marenshus.blogspot.com/"&gt;Maren&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;.

Dus ....Jetje haakt zich suf om er wat moois van te maken. Maar wat denk je? Het ding is nog niet door één kattenpootje aangeraakt...verwende mormel! En ook de oudere zus heeft het nog geen blik waardig gekeurd. Aaargh! Dat wordt dus weer een kado voor de buurkinderen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;En aangezien ik nog steeds in mijn crea bea haakfase zit .... en Mark nog geen veto op het aantal gehaakte voorwerpen in het huis heeft gegeven...ben ik nog steeds aan de haaknaald vastgekluisterd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SxRmkuWvqfI/AAAAAAAAA4I/2nD5XL9n7Bw/s1600/IMG_4184.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SxRmkuWvqfI/AAAAAAAAA4I/2nD5XL9n7Bw/s400/IMG_4184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410061833483561458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geinspireerd door de &lt;a href="http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/2009/11/grandma-tree-tutorial.html"&gt;Grandma Tree Tutorial&lt;/a&gt; van &lt;a href="http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com"&gt;The Royal Sisters&lt;/a&gt; hebben we een huis vol met gehaakte kerstboompjes. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark was twee ! hele dagen thuis en is vanmorgen om 05.15 uur alweer vertrokken naar Londen. En als de lieve vrouw die ik ben stond ik dus vanmorgen om half 5 naast het bed. Ik vind het wel zo gezellig om samen een kop thee te drinken voor hij (mij) weer (verlaat) dagen lang weg is.&lt;br /&gt;Om 9 uur uur vielen mijn oogleden langzaam richting bodem en dook ik nog maar even het bed in. Ik slaap eigenlijk nooit uit maar wat gebeurd er dan natuurlijk.....ik werd om half 11 uit bed gebeld en stonden er 2 dames voor de deur. Hoogstverbaasd dat ik in mijn ´charmante´ pyama outfit de deur opendeed. Nou spreek ik een aardig woordje Duits maar niet als ik net wakker en slaapdronken ben. Ik had dan ook even geen flauw benul wat er allemaal gezegd werd. Ik begreep nog wel dat ze eigenlijk naar mijn vriendin wilde maar dat die nog niet thuis was en iets over een sleutel. Ik was ondertussen gegeneerd me aan het verontschuldigen en aan het verantwoorden voor mijn bedmode. (het is een understatement als ik schrijf dat ik er uitzag als een vogelverschrikker!)&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig kwamen we er toch nog uit en bleek dat ze alleen de reservesleutel wilden. Die gauw afgegeven (nou ja, niet echt, het was de sleutel van onze kelder) en kon ik opgelucht aan de koffie.&lt;br /&gt;Les voor de volgende keer: niet de deur openen in pyama! En al helemaal niet na 8 uur ´s ochtends.&lt;br /&gt;Duitsers staan nl. erg, heel erg vroeg op. En ze gaan volgens mij ook allemaal voor 10 uur naar bed. Als ik na 10 uur naar buiten kijk zijn haast alle ramen donker. ????? Waarom????&lt;br /&gt;Fijne bijkomstigheid....ook de verwarming in ons huis gaat om 10 uur ´s avond automoatisch uit. Het is toch van de gekke? Ik ben een nachtmens en zit tegen elf uur in de kou. Nu is het nog niet zo koud maar straks wordt het in een deken gewikkeld achter de laptop zitten. En de verhuurder snapt echt niet dat ik me daarover opwind. Dat ik het belachelijk vind en dat het  voor mij een reden is om te willen verhuizen. Dat ik in een warm huis wil zitten tot midden in de nacht als ik dat wil. Dat we er potverdorie zelf voor betalen en dat we niet in een bejaardentehuis of kleuteropvang wonen. Dat we volwassen mensen zijn die ook na 10 uur ´s avonds nog desnoods in hun nakie rond willen rennen zonder dat er iets afvriest.&lt;br /&gt;Zo....dat helpt! Bij gebrek aan man maar even mijn blog (en jullie) gebruiken als klaagmuur.&lt;br /&gt;Nu kan ik morgen weer vol frisse moed met de onaangename dame in de clinch die het huis beheerd. En dat op z´n Rudi Carrell Duits. Een tirade in het Nederlands gaat me toch stukken beter af. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Some of you wanted to see the end result of my crochet work in the last post. Well .... it was intended as a sleeping place for our kitten. But guess what? Not one single cat paw touched that pouf ... spoiled brat! And also her older sister has not set a foot on it. Aaargh! This is going to be another gift for the neighbor kids. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And since I am still in my crochet phase and  Mark has not yet put a veto on the number of crocheted items in the house  ... I'm still chained to the hook needle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Inspired by the &lt;a href="http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/2009/11/grandma-tree-tutorial.html"&gt;Grandma Tree Tutorial&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com"&gt;The Royal Sisters&lt;/a&gt; I am busy making these decorations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Mark spend two! whole days at home  and left this morning at 05.15 o´clock for London. And as the sweet woman I am I stood next to the bed at 04.30. I think it's so nice to share a cup of tea before he leaves (me) for a couple of days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;At 9  I couldn´t keep my eyes open and I decided to return to bed. I never really sleep in, but what happens..... of course someone was at the door at half past 10 and there were 2 ladies at the door. Taken aback by my "charming" pajama outfit they first just looked at me. Well, I speak German rather well but not a when I'm just awake. I had no idea what they wanted. I understood that they wanted to see my friend who was not at home and something about a key. In the meanwhile I was trying to justify my just out of bed look. (it is an understatement when I write that I looked like a scarecrow!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Luckily in the end I understood that they only wanted the spare key of the friends house. I gave it to them (well, not really, it was the key of our basement) and had some strong coffee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Lesson for next time: do not open the door in pajamas! And certainly not after 8 o´clock in the morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Germans are out of bed very, very early. And I think they also go to bed very early. When I look out of or window after 10 almost all the lights are out in the other houses. ????? Why??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;One of the side effects of that phenomenae .... the heating in our house is shut dow at 10 in the evening. I am a night person and by the time it is midnight the house is cold. And the woman who rents out our house does not understand that I am really irritated by that. I think its ridiculous and for me it is a reason to want to move. I want to sit in a warm house until midnight if I want to. That we pay for the expenses and  by golly we're not in a retirement residence or in a daycare center. That we are mature people who, if we feel the need to, want to run around naked without fear of being frozen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So .... that helps! In the absence of the man in my life, I have to use my blog (and you) to blow off some steam..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Now I have the courage to have another round of discussion with the rather unpleasant lady. And that in German! A rant in Dutch would work so much better. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-6366310164307629074?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/6366310164307629074/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/much-ado-about-nothing.html#comment-form' title='16 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6366310164307629074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6366310164307629074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/much-ado-about-nothing.html' title='Much ado about nothing....'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SxRmfGVzk3I/AAAAAAAAA4A/moSYeDjjoPQ/s72-c/SDC10120.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-5137221902643369140</id><published>2009-11-20T12:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-30T08:24:26.087-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Have a wonderful weekend!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJYxOJbMI/AAAAAAAAA3A/cdn9gBZMO6o/s1600/keuken8+%2813%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJYxOJbMI/AAAAAAAAA3A/cdn9gBZMO6o/s400/keuken8+%2813%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406300198815755458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This birdcage was a Christmas present from Mark some years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het is vrijdagavond en ik verveel me.

Jaja, het leven is zwaar Mark! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Maar oké, hier dus wat foto´s van de laatste weken. Ik ben stiekem al begonnen met wat Kerst in het huis te gooien. In Nederland zou ik dat pas doen na 5 december maar aangezien ik nu in Duitsland woon en je hier met het hele Adventgebeuren al om de oren wordt gesmeten, kan ik me niet langer inhouden en heb ik sneaky al wat lampjes en boompjes in het huis neergezet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJ1QGT0mI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/oAlh6UYoiDo/s1600/SDC10105.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJ1QGT0mI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/oAlh6UYoiDo/s400/SDC10105.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406300688140718690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJs92WwiI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/q2IEQMEc6PU/s1600/mosaic92c238f4600f7ff48b35de90cc181067bacce7b0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJs92WwiI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/q2IEQMEc6PU/s400/mosaic92c238f4600f7ff48b35de90cc181067bacce7b0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406300545803010594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJin3Dk9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/2RWHrYGCKWQ/s1600/IMG_4129.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJin3Dk9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/2RWHrYGCKWQ/s400/IMG_4129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406300368101675986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thrifted cabinet and print.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It´s Friday night and I´m bored. So what else to do than to play with the pictures.&lt;br /&gt;Mark just called that he is going to a decadent club in Manilla. Hmmmm...yeah right. Life is tough for a workaholic! ;)&lt;br /&gt;But ok, where was I? These were made the last few weeks. Thrift finds and pictures from the house. I´m getting a little bit in the Christmas spirit. In Holland it´s custom not to put up any Christmas deco until the 6th of December, after the Sinterklaas (Santa Claus) festivities. But here in Germany they start much earlier and I just can´t help myself. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcKW7boyII/AAAAAAAAA3g/wFJ_5LpXRik/s1600/IMG_4168.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 331px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcKW7boyII/AAAAAAAAA3g/wFJ_5LpXRik/s400/IMG_4168.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406301266708580482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I plan to finish my crochet work this weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you all a great weekend with lots of fun and time to relax,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-5137221902643369140?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/5137221902643369140/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/have-wonderful-weekend.html#comment-form' title='30 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5137221902643369140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/5137221902643369140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/have-wonderful-weekend.html' title='Have a wonderful weekend!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwcJYxOJbMI/AAAAAAAAA3A/cdn9gBZMO6o/s72-c/keuken8+%2813%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-5907790616723436435</id><published>2009-11-18T04:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T11:41:12.626-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Corner view " Cell phone madness"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwPtxcDcB0I/AAAAAAAAA2w/47r9_zP1qwo/s1600/dilbert.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 230px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SwPtxcDcB0I/AAAAAAAAA2w/47r9_zP1qwo/s400/dilbert.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405425411374712642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Dilbert cartoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of this year it has been cell phone madness in our house.

Je mist ze altijd en als je dan bij ze bent mis je je huis en in mijn geval Mark en de katten. Mark natuurlijk het meest! ;) (het joch leest mee en dat we daarover geen discussie krijgen)&lt;br /&gt;Het was weer heerlijk om ´thuis´ te zijn en verwend te worden. Mijn ouders zijn niet meer de jongsten en vooral mijn moeder is erg aan het kwakkelen met haar gezondheid. En dan is het wel lastig dat je weet dat je te ver weg woont om niet daadwerkelijk te kunnen helpen met kleine dagelijkse dingen zoals boodschappen halen, met de administratie te helpen en wat niet meer. Wat dat betreft ben ik wel blij dat we niet echt ver weg wonen en dat ik, als het nodig is, zo op de trein kan stappen om naar ze toe te gaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kaylovesvintage.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kay&lt;/a&gt; had een doos vol goodies naar mijn ouders gestuurd en ik heb genoten van het leesvoer dat erin zat terwijl ik bij mijn ouders was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toen ik thuis kwam lag er een pakketje van &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12923950@N07/"&gt;Babayagas Haus&lt;/a&gt;. Zij is mijn eerste blogvriendin en maakt echt de meest prachtige dingen. Toen ik haar poppen zag op Flickr was ik op slag verliefd. En nu heb ik er zelf één! En een prachtige papieren kerstlinger waarvan ik zeker weet dat ik dat elk jaar met liefde ga ophangen. Ik ben een bofkont. Echt waar! Blogvrienden, wat een speciale vrienden zijn dat. Net zoiets als de penpals van vroeger eigenlijk. Je kent elkaar alleen van het geschreven woord en leert elkaar zo steeds meer kennen.&lt;br /&gt;En alle comments op mijn vorige mail waren ook hartverwarmend.&lt;br /&gt;Ik mag dan zo nu en dan mijn vrienden in Holland missen maar ik ben blij met jullie als blogmaatjes! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Een heel gezellig weekend en ik stort me op jullie posts de komende dagen,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SvSe4dxQLJI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/Ut5MafQdbFo/s1600-h/4013799320_a04f3f2158_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SvSe4dxQLJI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/Ut5MafQdbFo/s400/4013799320_a04f3f2158_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401116546025139346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Deze foto is van Babayagas Haus.

You always miss them and when you are with them you miss your home and in my case Mark and the cats. Mark of course the most ( in case he reads this post!) ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I had a wonderful stay with my parents and had lots of laugh and delicious food to enjoy. Kay had send a parcel full of goodies to my parents so I had enough to read. Just love gifts like that!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;As I came home another parcel waited for me, from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12923950@N07/"&gt;Babayagas Haus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;. She is so übertalented and I always love her creations. I fell in love with her sweet dolls the moment I saw them on Flickr and she surprised me with this little one. Plus a fantastic paper garland. Lucky me! Tatjana has a special place in my blogheart, she was the first one who commented on my blog. That´s so special about blogging. We are lucky to have contact with people all over the world through our blogs. It is somehow like in the old days, being penpals. We may never met, but we do make friends through the written word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So I might miss my friends back home but I feel lucky to have you as my blogpals. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Have a wonderful weekend and I will be spending my time catching up with your posts,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-8417398619963244099?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/8417398619963244099/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-to-be-back-home.html#comment-form' title='24 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8417398619963244099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8417398619963244099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-to-be-back-home.html' title='Good to be back home'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SvSefiXOgHI/AAAAAAAAA2I/IQbN_PN1ZsI/s72-c/IMG_4140.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-6393201643731624070</id><published>2009-10-26T05:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T11:15:43.777-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bye bye.....going to have some Dutch fun.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SuWfy3sl6yI/AAAAAAAAA14/v4Rrp7b-xE8/s1600-h/IMG_3950.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SuWfy3sl6yI/AAAAAAAAA14/v4Rrp7b-xE8/s400/IMG_3950.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396895424766667554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even weer een update....ik ben er nog! ;)&lt;br /&gt;De afgelopen weken heb ik het bloggen even het bloggen gelaten.&lt;br /&gt;Door een stafylokokken infectie heb ik een aantal jaren geleden problemen gekregen met de bloeddruk, zonder dat ik het wist. Blijkbaar was mijn hartspier aangetast door de infectie en werkt die niet meer zoals het moest. Dat veroorzaakte vorig jaar een mega hoge bloeddruk na een griepje.&lt;br /&gt;Om een lang verhaal kort te maken. Ik heb medicijnen gekregen en moet die blijven slikken om te voorkomen dat ik in het geval van een ontsteking weer in zo´n situatie kom.&lt;br /&gt;Maar aangezien ik eigenlijk gezond ben hebben die medicijnen ook een bijwerking blijkbaar.....een te lage bloeddruk&lt;br /&gt;Vandaar mijn radiostilte deze week......ik was vreselijk moe want blijkbaar gaan je hersenen bij een te lage bloeddruk op slaapstand en word je dus een duf mutsje.&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben eigenlijk een kortslaper...meestal niet meer dan 5 a 6 uur per nacht maar de afgelopen weken sliep ik zelfs ´s middags op de bank....tot groot plezier van de poezen. Tegen een warm mensenlijf slapen is toch gezelliger dan alleen in een mandje.&lt;br /&gt;En nu voel ik me weer prima. De medicijnen zijn bijgesteld en ik kan er weer vrolijk tegenaan. De bank is weer het domein van de katten. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark zat weer de hele week in het buitenland en daarom maar de kinderen van mijn vrienden ´geleend´ voor een pyamafeestje. Lekker met zijn allen rondhangen op de banken.&lt;br /&gt;Je voelt je toch op één of andere manier minder schuldig als er meer in een pyama rondlummelen de hele dag. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morgen vertrek ik naar Nederland. Mark reist dus veel en aangezien we 2 kattenbeesten in huis hebben kan ik dan niet even de koffer pakken. Ze moeten per slot van rekening eten en knuffels krijgen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar nu is de man een week op het honk en kan ik eindelijk weer eens naar het vader- en moederland voor wat oerhollandse gezelligheid. Ik laat me weer eens lekker verwennen met de Hollandse kost en ga lekker op de bank tegen moeders aanleunen. Je kunt nog zo oud worden maar het blijft zalig om even kind te zijn als je bij je ouders bent. Mijn vader blijft tegen me zeggen dat ik een sjaal om moet doen of mijn jas dicht moet doen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Mijn vrienden heb ik ook al te lang niet gezien en ik verheug me al op het koffieleuten en het bijbabbelen. Want dat is ook zo heerlijk in Nederland....ik kan weer heerlijk kletsen zonder er bij na te hoeven denken of ik het wel in correct Duits of Engels zeg. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot gauw en bedankt voor al jullie lieve berichtjes en emails!&lt;br /&gt;Tip om te lezen tot ik terug ben ;)  &lt;a href="http://yarn-ing.blogspot.com"&gt;Sandra&lt;/a&gt; is Nederlandse van origine maar woont sinds haar twaalfde in Canada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SuWf9xnxa-I/AAAAAAAAA2A/GUElujOuZqo/s1600-h/IMG_3908.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SuWf9xnxa-I/AAAAAAAAA2A/GUElujOuZqo/s400/IMG_3908.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396895612114398178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Just a quick update.&lt;br /&gt;I haven´t been feeling well the last weeks. I was tired and just slept a lot. I found out that the cause was an extreme low blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;I have had blood pressure problems since a nasty Staphylococcus infection that infected the heart muscle too. Last year it was sky high and now because of the medication to prevent blood pressure problems it had the counter effect of being too low.&lt;br /&gt;But all is well now and I´m as happy as a bird. The couch belongs to the cats again.&lt;br /&gt;Mark was last week abroad so I lend the kids from my friend to keep me company for a pyamaparty. Somehow it feels so much better not to be the only one walking around in a pyama the whole day! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow I leave for Holland to visit my parents and friends. I need a bit of Dutch ´cosiness´ I´m looking forward to have a good laugh with friends, homemade dinners with my parents and hugs from the little ones in the family. It has been too long ago and I really missed them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a tip for another blog to read while I´m gone. ;) &lt;a href="http://yarn-ing.blogspot.com"&gt;Sandra&lt;/a&gt; in Canada...I read her blog in one go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for all the nice comments and emails and I will be  back soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-6393201643731624070?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/6393201643731624070/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/10/bye-byegoing-to-have-some-dutch-fun.html#comment-form' title='27 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6393201643731624070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6393201643731624070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/10/bye-byegoing-to-have-some-dutch-fun.html' title='Bye bye.....going to have some Dutch fun.'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SuWfy3sl6yI/AAAAAAAAA14/v4Rrp7b-xE8/s72-c/IMG_3950.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>27</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-620660080593557519</id><published>2009-10-14T03:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T04:04:57.440-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Corner view "Love" Potsdam-Berlin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWtmMswWzI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/Zh5LSlongrs/s1600-h/Rosenthal+Schale+Dekor+Raymond+Peynet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 356px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWtmMswWzI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/Zh5LSlongrs/s400/Rosenthal+Schale+Dekor+Raymond+Peynet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392407000601615154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Jane's Corner View, on the "Love" theme proposed by &lt;a href="http://jodiphinney.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jodi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWtwW2xAOI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/L_7mswGiwms/s1600-h/IMG_3892.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWtwW2xAOI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/L_7mswGiwms/s400/IMG_3892.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392407175126647010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWv9JDaaaI/AAAAAAAAA0o/TFBXqRhyCmE/s1600-h/IMG_3891.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/StWv9JDaaaI/AAAAAAAAA0o/TFBXqRhyCmE/s400/IMG_3891.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392409593783151010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love......&lt;br /&gt;First thing that came to mind to show was this book that I found a few weeks ago at a fleamarket.&lt;br /&gt;It´s from the 50´s and by Raymond Peynet. So sweet.&lt;br /&gt;Love the plate. Now more plates are on my wishlist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I told Mark about my idea he said....What? Not about me?

Ik had een label gewonnen bij Marjolein van &lt;a href="http://somethingwhite.blogspot.com/"&gt;Something White&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Ik vind haar blog één van de mooiste in blogland en was al helemaal in de wolken dat ik dat mooie label zou krijgen. &lt;br /&gt;Maar wat stuurt ze...een heel pakket! En sentimenteel gebakje dat ik ben....daar krijg ik dan weer de waterlanders van in de ogen. Gelukkig ben ik altijd alleen als ik als een mutsenmoment heb. ;) Ik hou van bloggen!!!!&lt;br /&gt;En niet alleen omdat ik nou dit prachtige kado heb gekregen maar omdat ik er echt blij van kan worden en omdat ik door het bloggen mensen heb leren kennen waar je een speciaal draadje mee hebt. &lt;br /&gt;La vie est belle!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes...life is wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;And I have to thank Marjolein of Something White for making ma vie belle! Marjolein had a giveaway on her blog. She made some beautiful labels and I won one. &lt;br /&gt;Her blog is one of my favorites and I was already more than happy that I would get something I really like.

We hadden prachtig weer en hebben het genoten. Eerst moesten de zaterdaginkopen geregeld worden. Met 4 meiden op sleeptouw is dat nog een hele onderneming. Om daarvan bij te komen werd ik getrakteerd op koffie in een buurtcafe. Het is een voormalige slagerij geweest en de prachtige tegelwanden zijn nog intact te bewonderen.&lt;br /&gt;De ´dames´ genoten geloof ik nog wel het meest.&lt;br /&gt;Naast het cafe zit een school die die middag een rommelmarkt hielden. Ik ben gek op koffie maar van rommelmarkten nog meer. De jacht kon weer beginnen op dingen waarvan ik nog gedacht had dat ik die moest hebben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I had a wonderful sunny Saturday with the girls. First some serious shopping then some time to chill! The little ´ladies´ had so much fun. The bar is a former butcher shop and many of the beautiful tiles are still intact. I have to go back there for sure...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Next to the bar was a school that had a fleamarket. I love my coffee but fleamarkets....nothing beats the feeling to go on a hunt for something you actually never knew you wanted. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sr886wLyT4I/AAAAAAAAAw4/iIbudzjQ9A0/s1600-h/IMG_3821.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 196px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sr886wLyT4I/AAAAAAAAAw4/iIbudzjQ9A0/s400/IMG_3821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386090659422818178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik vond er enkele oude handgemaakte poppenkleertjes. Vooral de 2 jurkjes vond ik prachtig. Dat iemand met blijkbaar veel liefde voor detail dit voor een pop gemaakt heeft. Vroeger in mijn tienerjaren droeg ik dit soort jurken. Ik zou het graag weer dragen maar dan moet ik toch eerst wel de nodige kilo´s verliezen wil ik dat weer aantrekken. Misschien dat ik deze 2 ergens aan de muur prik om me zelf eraan te herinneren dat ik af moet vallen en dat ik dan weer in zulke gezellige jurken kan flaneren. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I found some vintage handmade doll clothes. I especially liked these 2 dresses. I love the fact that someone took the effort to make something so nice for a doll. And I would love to have them in my size. Actually I wore dresses like these in my teens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And truth to be known...I first had to loose some weight before I would wear a dress like that again. But one can dream. ;) Maybe I will pinn them on the wall as a reminder that I have to loose some pounds!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1803973689653091150?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1803973689653091150/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/09/happy-lazy-sunday.html#comment-form' title='31 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1803973689653091150'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1803973689653091150'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/09/happy-lazy-sunday.html' title='Happy lazy Sunday!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sr9K4_0HwWI/AAAAAAAAAx4/7ckQDuzm0A8/s72-c/IMG_2645.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>31</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-1558426357768880699</id><published>2009-09-22T06:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T03:44:33.711-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Miss Kitty and her little trumpet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SrjVRkPA4LI/AAAAAAAAAv0/YgXid5QvYAg/s1600-h/IMG_3761.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SrjVRkPA4LI/AAAAAAAAAv0/YgXid5QvYAg/s400/IMG_3761.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384287852282568882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lotje groeit als kool.

En dat is dus haar favoriete speeltje!&lt;br /&gt;Sinds weken rent ze ermee rond in haar bek. Ze heeft een mand vol met muizen, balletjes en weet ik wat niet meer.

Onder de ballustrade achter de leeuw is een kleine jachthaven met 2 restaurantjes. Je kunt er heerlijk aan het water zitten en genieten van wat er allemaal op het water gebeurd.&lt;br /&gt;Aan de overkant van het water zit het strandbad Wannsee. Hier zit zomers tout Berlin om te badderen sinds 1907.&lt;br /&gt;Al met al een een perfecte laatste zomerdag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Later that day we went to the Wannsee for dinner. Right underneath the balustrade is a little marina and 2 restaurants. You can sit at the waterfront and enjoy the view over the lake. Across the lake is Strandbad Wannsee. Tout Berlin goes there for a swim since it was built in 1907.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;It was the perfect last day of Summer!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SraaGfrBVuI/AAAAAAAAAvk/XKHCQtSI81o/s1600-h/pix_217.230.185.891252924236.03528000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SraaGfrBVuI/AAAAAAAAAvk/XKHCQtSI81o/s400/pix_217.230.185.891252924236.03528000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383659840939841250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-6871264611303451984?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/6871264611303451984/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/09/breeze-of-summer.html#comment-form' title='16 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6871264611303451984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6871264611303451984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/09/breeze-of-summer.html' title='A breeze of summer'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SraXob0WBAI/AAAAAAAAAu0/NzuuRTCa_uk/s72-c/IMG_3743.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-4522396368745295646</id><published>2009-09-17T03:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T04:40:09.608-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Corner view "September" Potsdam-Berlin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SrIeLjTPKaI/AAAAAAAAAus/yrogSxB6b2I/s1600-h/faded+beauty+in+Heiligendamm.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SrIeLjTPKaI/AAAAAAAAAus/yrogSxB6b2I/s400/faded+beauty+in+Heiligendamm.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382397688464484770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Faded beauty in Heiligendamm.

Dat is weer het voordeel van een workaholic. Hij maakt zijn vakantiedagen niet op en heeft dan recht op een lekkere lange vakantie. Heeft ook wel wat. Hem kennende gaat hij er de komende maanden ook weer ouderwets tegen aan en heb ik hem met Kerst weer lekker lang voor mezelf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit keer zijn we thuis gebleven. Dit om meerdere reden. Mark reist sowieso al continue naar hot en her, we hebben 2 katten die geen oppas hadden, en....&lt;br /&gt;de vorige vakantie naar het buitenland in april eindigde bijna in een echtscheiding al op de heenweg. Na maandenlange relatieve stilte van beide kanten was manlief niet gewend aan een blij babbelende vrouw in de auto en waren we nog niet eens bij de Franse grens of we hadden al een knallende ruzie om niets. Dus.....dit jaar hebben we het slimmer aangepakt.....&lt;br /&gt;We hebben het dichter bij huis gehouden en werd de dagelijkse dosis babbelende Jetje langzaam opgebouwd. Eerst maar eens naar Berlijn...een halfuurtje rijden. Dat ging goed.&lt;br /&gt;Toen maar eens naar Dresden en Görlitz. Ging ook perfect.&lt;br /&gt;Toen kon ook een bliksembezoek aan de wederzijdse ouders. Want.......de man heeft een nieuwe auto gekocht en die moet natuurlijk wel ingereden worden. En dan is een rit op en neer naar Nederland de perfecte manier om dat te doen. Ouders blij, man blij en ik heb genoten van de oerhollandse pot van vaders en om mijn ouders even te kunnen zien. Een heel gelukkig kind hadden ze. ;)&lt;br /&gt;En dat je nooit te oud om te leren....daarvan ben ik het levende bewijs. Ik heb me de hele vakantie netjes gedragen en niet uren achter elkaar tegen mijn wederhelft aan zitten blaten. Ik weet nu dat ik het moet doseren en dat werkt prima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb mijn blog vreselijk verwaarloosd en beloof bij deze plechtig dat ik me ook hier beter zal gedragen! Ik weet dat velen genoten hebben van de hete zomer maar voor mij was het te heet. Het gebrek aan een tuin en een balkon wordt dan wel heel duidelijk. Ik droomde van huizen met een zwembad. En als ik ooit beter wordt in emotionele chantage lukt me dat misschien nog voor volgend jaar. Er wordt aan gewerkt! ;)&lt;br /&gt;En ik wist gewoon even niet wat ik moest schrijven. Een blog-writersblock. Bestaat zoiets?&lt;br /&gt;Maar de vakantie heeft het zijn werk gedaan et voila.....ik ben er weer.&lt;br /&gt;Excuses aan iedereen die een comment heeft achtergelaten en waar ik niet op gereageerd heb. Ik heb er echt veel aan gehad, was er reuzeblij mee en was soms echt ontroerd.&lt;br /&gt;BEDANKT!&lt;br /&gt;Sjonge, zo laat ik weken niets van me horen en nu weer meteen zo´n lap van een verhaal.&lt;br /&gt;Dit was dus ongeveer wat Mark overkwam tijdens onze vorige vakantie en waardoor hij even helemaal kierewiet werd. Ok, toch niets geleerd, Ik leer het ook nooit! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Ik ga de komende week bijlezen en bijkletsen. Want ik heb jullie wel degelijk gemist!&lt;br /&gt;Liefs,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sq368UBc0lI/AAAAAAAAAtw/koeQxx4IHVc/s1600-h/IMG_2750.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sq368UBc0lI/AAAAAAAAAtw/koeQxx4IHVc/s400/IMG_2750.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381233043851498066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I've been hidden well in recent weeks. Mark had a verrry long holiday and I´ve been enjoying the time together. That is the advantage of a workaholic. He doesn´t use up his free days and than has the right to have a nice long vacation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;This time we stayed at home. This was for several reasons. Mark has been travelling a lot for his work anyway, we have 2 cats that had no babysitter, and ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;the last holiday abroad in April almost ended in a divorce on the way to France. After months of relative silence from both sides hubby was not used to a chattering happy woman in the car and we were not even at the French border, or we already had a huge fight about nothing. So ..... this year we decided to be on the safe side .....;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;We have kept it closer to home and the daily dose of chattering Jetje was increased slowly. First a trip to Berlin ... a half hour drive. That went well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Then wen to Dresden and Görlitz. Which also went perfect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So then we could visit our mutual family in Holland. ....... Because the hubby has bought a new car and he of course needed to try it out. And then a ride down to the Netherlands is the perfect way to do that. Parents happy, hubby happy and I've enjoyed seeing my parents. I really had missed them. They had a very happy child. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And you are never too old to learn  .... I'm the living proof. I have been well behaved the whole holiday. I know now that I must dose my endless stream of talking and that works fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I have neglected my blog terribly and I feel bad about it! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I know that many people enjoyed the hot summer but for me it was too hot. The lack of a garden and a balcony was for me a nightmare. I was dreaming of houses with a pool. And if I ever succeed to become better in emotional blackmail ...I will be sitting next to a pool next year. I´m working on it! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And I just did not know what to write. A blog-writer's block.. is there such a thing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;But the holiday has done its job ..... et voila I'm back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Apologies to everyone who has left a comment and I have not responded to.

Het is een echte knuffelkitten en ligt het liefst de hele dag ergens op me. De rest van de dag jaagt ze achter Moos aan.&lt;br /&gt;En hoewel Moos de eerste paar dagen echt boos op ons was, begint ze nu ook de lol in te zien van een nieuw harig familielid. In ieder geval verveelt ze zich niet meer. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Deze kleine bundel van energie is het beste tegengif voor een depressie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik wil jullie nog bedankten voor alle lieve en opbeurende comments op mijn vorige post. Ik voel me schuldig dat ik nog niet gereageerd heb maar ik vind op de een of andere manier de woorden nog niet. Een vreemde gewaarwording voor een spraakwaterval maar momenteel lijkt het wel of de woorden opgebruikt zijn. Ik mis het bloggen en de gezelligheid die erbij hoort maar vind maar niet de moed om er weer in te springen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar weet dat ik echt waardeer en dat het me veel geholpen heeft. Het is geruststellend te weten dat ik ben niet de enige die worstelt met het leven met een workaholic in het buitenland. En dat eenzaamheid en depressieve gevoelens iets is dat anderen voelen en meevoelen. En hoewel ik nog niet zo happy ben als ik zou willen....... ik ben weer op de goede weg.&lt;br /&gt;Tot gauw en ik hoop in de tussentijd jullie blogs te bezoeken om in te halen wat jullie allemaal hebben geschreven.&lt;br /&gt;Een dikke ´dank jullie wel´  knuffel,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SmthumR1NRI/AAAAAAAAApY/1CTpeAOUURA/s1600-h/SDC10071.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 376px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SmthumR1NRI/AAAAAAAAApY/1CTpeAOUURA/s400/SDC10071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362487234491921682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;She is now one week with us and having the time of her life. She is such a sweet baby and I have fallen deeply and madly in love with her. And even though Moos was truly upset with us for taking home a new furry family member, she is now starting to like her too. They have fun chasing each other and Moos is certainly not bored anymore. ;)This little bundle of energy is the best antidote for a depression! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I want to thank you all for the sweet and uplifting comments. I feel bad that I haven´t replied to you yet but somehow I couldn´t find the words.  But know that I really appreciated all the kindness and wise words and that it helped me a lot.  I do miss blogging and the interaction with the other bloggers but somehow I can´t bring myself to jump back into the game. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;It is comforting to know that I´m not the only one struggling with life with a workaholic husband in a foreign country. And that loneliness and depression is something universal and that I´m not alone in that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And though I´m not as happy as I want to be....I´m getting there. So I will be back soon I hope and in the meantime I will visit your blogs to catch up with all the things you have written.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;A big ´thank you´ hug for all of you and have a great weekend,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-8619984342635439853?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/8619984342635439853/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/07/miss-kitty-is-happy-and-so-are-we.html#comment-form' title='32 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8619984342635439853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8619984342635439853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/07/miss-kitty-is-happy-and-so-are-we.html' title='Miss Kitty is happy and so are we!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Smts2YtZWvI/AAAAAAAAApg/aJVWLeltLwY/s72-c/IMG_2682.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-9183557794992343639</id><published>2009-07-07T00:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-07T01:18:45.889-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy tears over a frog</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlL9heCxwOI/AAAAAAAAAoY/LHR1WWDKndQ/s1600-h/SDC10010.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlL9heCxwOI/AAAAAAAAAoY/LHR1WWDKndQ/s400/SDC10010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355621658339164386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tja....ik weet dat ik gisteren een blogpauze heb ingelast maar ik moet toch even wat delen.&lt;br /&gt;Ten eerste wil ik jullie allemaal danken voor de lieve commentaren die me echt goed deden. Soms moet je even een schop onder de kont krijgen of een schouder hebben om tegen aan te janken. En al is het virtueel....dat doen jullie voor mij. Bedankt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En waarom ben ik vandaag al weer in  blogland?&lt;br /&gt;Vanmorgen vroeg werd er al aangebeld. De man voor mijn deur had een grote doos in zijn handen en vroeg of ik jarig was. Uhhh....nee? Hij lachte veelbetekenend en wenste me een goede dag. Ik was nog niet echt wakker en dacht ...goh, die is vrolijk op de vroege ochtend. Pas toen ik de doos opende snapte ik zijn vraag en zijn gelach.....een gigabos met rode rozen met een bijpassende vaas.&lt;br /&gt;Maar het mooiste was het berichtje erbij.......&lt;br /&gt;Mark heeft het toch weer voor elkaar gekregen om me te verrassen terwijl hij weg is....de boef!&lt;br /&gt;Dus vielen in de vroege ochtend wat tranen over een klein groen kikkertje.&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben nu eenmaal een dramaqueen;)&lt;br /&gt;En die kaart.... Ik moet er eigenlijk één aan hem sturen!&lt;br /&gt;De laaste 7 maanden waren niet gemakkelijk. Getrouwd met een man die meestal meer dan 12 uur per dag werkt aan een projekt en daarvoor geregeld de wereld rondvliegt. Het feit dat je dan in een ´vreemd´ land woont met weinig plaatselijke vrienden maakt het niet makkelijker. Meestal heb ik daar totaal geen problemen mee maar o wee als ik PMS heb. Dan komt het beest in me naar boven. Of ik schiet in een depressie of ik word chagerijnig. Of nog erger...een combinatie van de twee. Als man kun je dan maar beter verhuizen! Mark heeft het niet voor niet omgedoopt tot het ´Pest aan Mark Syndroom´. En dat is precies wat er de afgelopen gebeurde. Het beest in me kwam tot leven en maakte mijn en zijn leven tot een hel. Arme Mark ... en toch houdt hij van me. En daarom houd ik zoveel van die man!&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb de liefste en grappigste man en ik mis hem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlMDe1xJg3I/AAAAAAAAAog/OZpnlRQGfvA/s1600-h/SDC10011.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 370px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlMDe1xJg3I/AAAAAAAAAog/OZpnlRQGfvA/s400/SDC10011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355628210237834098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Well .... I know that yesterday I wrote that I needed blog break but I just had to share something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;First let me thank you all for the lovely comments that I really really appreciated. Sometimes you need a kick up the butt, or a hug to comfort you. And though its virtual .... you do that for me. Thank you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And so, why am I back today in blog land?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Early this morning the doorbell rang. The man at the door had a large box in his hands and asked me if it was my birthday. Uhhh .... no? He smiled suggestively and wished me a good day. I was not really awake yet and thought... Gee, he is happy so early in the morning. Only when I opened the box I understood his question and his laughter ..... I saw a big bunch of red roses with a matching vase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;But the best was the message that went with it .......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Mark did it again...surprising me while he is away!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So some tears were shed on a small green Froggy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlMDrQhxXsI/AAAAAAAAAoo/cznsYUyO_NA/s1600-h/SDC10012.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlMDrQhxXsI/AAAAAAAAAoo/cznsYUyO_NA/s400/SDC10012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355628423579524802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;It says: It is always bad when your prince changes into a frog!!! But the frog does love you. Luv you most, Markus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And the truth is.....I should have send him a card and a bunch of flowers. (Well, maybe not flowers)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;The last 7 months have not been easy. Married to a man who is usually working more than 12 hours a day and is away most of the time having trips all over the world. The fact that I live in a foreign country with a few local friends doesn´t make it easier. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I miss having fun and long talks with the hubby but for the last months he has been on the phone all night. Usually I have no problems with it but that changes when I have PMS. Then the beast in me wakens up. Then I am or depressed of extremely moody. Or worse ... a combination of the two. As a man .....you can better get out of the house! It is not without reason that Mark renamed PMS into 'Pest aan Mark Syndrome´ (Hate Mark Syndrome). And that´s just what happened last week....the beast in me woke up and it made my and his life to hell. Poor Mark...but he still loves me....and that´s why I love that man so much!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I have the sweetest and funniest guy and I miss him!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-9183557794992343639?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/9183557794992343639/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-tears-over-frog.html#comment-form' title='36 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/9183557794992343639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/9183557794992343639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-tears-over-frog.html' title='Happy tears over a frog'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SlL9heCxwOI/AAAAAAAAAoY/LHR1WWDKndQ/s72-c/SDC10010.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>36</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-568766303402240278</id><published>2009-07-06T06:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T11:17:49.361-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Away for a while</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SmtLxJUDZTI/AAAAAAAAApQ/ZFejGFUfkik/s1600-h/IMG_2168.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SmtLxJUDZTI/AAAAAAAAApQ/ZFejGFUfkik/s400/IMG_2168.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362463089000408370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;This is where Mark was on his last trip, Santa Cruz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben echt een vreselijke blogger op het moment. Ik kan het op de één of andere manier niet opbrengen om gezellig te posten of een commentaar te geven. Ik ben een beetje down en niet helemaal mezelf. Misschien ligt het aan de hitte, PMS of het feit dat ik getrouwd ben met een workaholic die net weer vertrokken  is voor 2 weken naar Amerika. Waarschijnlijk de combi.&lt;br /&gt;Dus neem ik even een blogbreak tot ik het weer met plezier kan doen.&lt;br /&gt;Ik zal jullie missen maar ik kom weer terug. Beloofd!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I´m a real bad, bad blogger at the moment. I´m sorry! Just feel a bit depressed and not at all the happy girl I normally am. It may be the heatwave, PMS of the fact that I´m married to a workaholic who just left for another 2 weeks in America. He allready asked for a replacement hubby at work. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the best thing to do is to take a little blog break.

All sorts of berries and cherries.&lt;br /&gt;In Holland that kind of fruit is so expensive that I almost never bought it. Here it is common to grow your own berries and people sell it in front of their house. Just a little table with their homegrown fruit and vegetables and sometimes flowers and homemade marmelade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SktXrA2gopI/AAAAAAAAAn4/aJsieWXgOdE/s1600-h/IMG_2472.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SktXrA2gopI/AAAAAAAAAn4/aJsieWXgOdE/s400/IMG_2472.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353468978534589074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early this morning I went to the farmers market to buy some fruit.

But....I just got a call from my father that he is coming to visit me tomorrow. I´m going to show him Potsdam and Berlin for the rest of the week and probably won´t have the time to spend some time in blogland. So I will have to miss all of you just a bit longer! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;See you all soon,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;The photo´s in this post are taken at a restaurant where we went last Saturday.

Ik voel me naakt zonder dat ding, ben ik verslaafd?&lt;br /&gt;Het was een leuke week, maar oh zo vermoeiend. Ik moest o.a. zorgen voor 4 mini-diva's en ik applaudeer voor elke vader en moeder in deze wereld. Serieus! Het ene moment zijn het engeltjes en de volgende seconde zijn ze kleine duivels in vermomming. Respect! Ik was in ieder geval compleet en dan ook compleet uitgeput.

I had to take care of 4 mini-diva´s and I aplaude every mom and dad in this world. Seriously! One minute they are little angels and the next minute they are little devils in disguise. I bow to you all! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I was completely exhausted, especially from the time on the film set where I had to keep them clean, happy and in one piece.

Ik zou het niet erg  vinden om haar in het huis rond te hebben dwarrelen, ze was grappig, stout en helaas ..... niet een echte dienstmeisje.&lt;br /&gt;Eigenlijk zou een butler ook wel prettig zijn. Alleen voor vanavond. Dan kan ik eindelijk weer de luie huisvrouw zijn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dus vanavond ben ik de ultieme couchpotato en ga lekker een paar films kijken.... maar morgen ben ik weer terug in blogland Ik heb al gezien dat jullie niet hebben stilgezeten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tip! Voor iedereen die houdt van een goede lachbui en de Engelse taal geen bezwaar vind.....bezoek Spud van &lt;a href="http://www.spudballoo.com/"&gt;Spudballoo&lt;/a&gt;. Ze heeft de gekste, leukste blog en ik ben verslaafd aan haar 'Secrets'. Kom op... ontdek het zelf maar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot gauw,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So now I could really use a maid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;This is Juliane, the actress who played the maid in the movie. I wouldn´t mind to have her around, she was funny, naughty and helas..... not a real maid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Actually, the butler would be nice too. Just for tonight. So I can be the lazy housewife I want to be! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So tonight I´m going to be a couchpotato and watch some movies....but tomorrow I will be back in blogland, I have tons of blogs I want to visit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Tip!! For everyone who needs or likes a good laugh. Go and visit Spud of &lt;a href="http://www.spudballoo.com/"&gt;Spudballoo&lt;/a&gt;. She has the craziest, funniest blog and I´m addicted to her ´Secrets´.

If you never have been to Berlin you may not know this...it is the city where you sit naked, watching the boats on the river Spree.&lt;br /&gt;Where you wear your ballgown as in the olden days and where you hang your partydress in the street after a night out in town!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well...ok....I cheated. I didn´t have the time to take some foto´s this week and dived into our ´archives´. &lt;br /&gt;I´m helping my friend who is directing a childrens movie this week. And I´m somewhat of a personal assistant, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear and babysitter. It is exciting and ooh boy, so not my world. I love the quiet life and the filmbusiness is all but quiet. But I love the atmosphere and to see how a film is made.&lt;br /&gt;I had to play a part only for rehearsal sake and I hated it!!!!  Film makes you 10 pounds bigger and in my case I like to think it was actually 50 pound. If you ever want to make sure you keep your diet....go on film and you will go an a water and bread diet. Really!&lt;br /&gt;She wanted to cast me as the ´crazy Dutch neighbour´. Well.. I can see where that comes from as I am Dutch and a neighbour and certainly crazy at times. But to play it.....no way.&lt;br /&gt;I´m the girl that fell ´sick´ the moment she had to do something in front of the class and didn´t finish her study French because she was too afraid to be in front of a class.  I´m shy and I always try to avoid that someone takes my picture. And then I should go act and be on film? Not gonna happpen! Somewhere deep inside me I wish I had the guts...but that is so deep I can´t be bothered. ;)&lt;br /&gt;So I will be late this week to watch all the hip and maybe not so hip fashion around the world, but I´m looking forward to do my trip around the world  and have a look at your blog. &lt;br /&gt;Till then....have fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to have a great trip around the world and watch the other Corner Views,  look under Corner View in my sidebar!

Nu nog eens worden over een naam ....maar daarvoor hebben we nog even tijd.&lt;br /&gt;Over 5 weken kunnen we haar ophalen....het liefst zou ik tot die tijd bij die mensen intrekken om niets te missen! Moet toch kunnen.....ik ben lief, gezellig en eet niet echt veel. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Oja....de kittens hebben wel een hele bijzondere oppas. De hond van de familie is dikke maatjes met de moederkat en moedert ook gezellig mee. Het was geweldig om dat te zien.

We hebben het gevoel dat ze haar mist. En hoewel we veel met haar spelen en knuffelen, we zijn nou eenmaal geen katten.&lt;br /&gt;Dus .....gaan we morgen één van deze druifjes uitzoeken. En we hopen echt dat ze het met elkaar kunnen vinden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heeft iemand ervaring hiermee. Moos is al 8 en een haaibaaitje, ze was altijd aan het jagen op Winnie. Nou was Winnie ook wel een extreem sullige kat, die was volgens mij bij de geboorte al een oude ziel. Spelen was niet echt har ding.&lt;br /&gt;Wat raden jullie aan....een mannetje of een vrouwtje? En zijn katten inderdaad eenlingen en het liefst alleen, zoals gezegd wordt. Of zijn ze gelukkiger als er een andere kat in het huis is?&lt;br /&gt;Vragen, vragen, vragen. Ik weet even niet of ik er goed aan doe een andere kat erbij te nemen. Of ik haar daar wel een plezier mee doe......of de kitten.  Wat als ze als het niet klikt? Pffffff.....wat een neurotische post! ;) Ik wil gewoon dat Moos weer gelukkig is.&lt;br /&gt;Maar ik ga ongelooflijk voor de bijl als ik morgen die wolbolletjes zie...mij kun je ook niet meenemen naar een asiel.

And although we play and cuddle with her alot....we´re just not the furry kind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;So ...... one of these cuties is coming home to us in a few weeks. And we hope and pray they get along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Does anyone of you have any experience with taking another cat....what would you recommend? She´s 8 years old. Is it better to have a female or male cat as her compagnion? We used to have 2 girls...they were not the best of friends ... they accepted each other. Moos was always the wild one...chasing Winnie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Is she allready too old to accept another kitten? Question, questions. I´m really not sure if we are doing the right thing by taking another kitten....if it would make her happy or unhappy. And if the kitten will be happy. Gosh.....what a neurotic post!! ;)  I just want to her be more happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;But who am I kidding. I will be all over those little ones tomorrow! That´s why I never go to an animal shelter...I will either cry my eyes out or wanting to take them all home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Have a wonderful weekend and to be continued.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-6778587439804313343?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/6778587439804313343/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/06/mozes-is-going-to-have-little.html#comment-form' title='23 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6778587439804313343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/6778587439804313343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/06/mozes-is-going-to-have-little.html' title='Mozes is going to have a little sister/brother....'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SjJhEGjrlAI/AAAAAAAAAk4/juKNKL9ZR8c/s72-c/IMG_2217.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-7483276489901101232</id><published>2009-06-11T05:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-11T07:00:20.465-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A new star is born!

Ik vind het fantastisch dat ze me samen met Carmie een award geeft.&lt;br /&gt;Nogmaals bedankt meiden!&lt;br /&gt;Toen ik Mark vertelde dat ik maar liefst 2 Awards gekregen had was zijn droge antwoord: O, dan moet je wel een ´speech´ schrijven.

Maar echt, het is een grote eer om te worden genomineerd, naast zoveel andere geweldige blogs. Ik dank mijn ouders, mijn vrienden en familie, het internet, Blogger en iedereen die mijn blog bezoekt om te lezen wat ik nu weer meegemaakt heb.&lt;br /&gt;Ik dank natuurlijk ook mijn man, Mark omdat hij altijd mijn verhalen leest en dat hij 'zijn' camera weer aan me teruggegeven heeft.&lt;br /&gt;En dat is waarom ik hem de Lemonade Award geef. Hij is degene die wilde dat ik een blog zou beginnen ..... dus hij is eigenlijk degene die ervoor gezorgd heeft dat ik hier nu sta!&lt;br /&gt;Ik kan er beter nu mee stoppen voordat het te lang word en ik van het podium wordt getrokken. Dank u, en tadaaah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I´m so honored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt; *snif, snif*&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much!. But really, it's just an honor to be nominated alongside so many other great blogs. I want to thank my parents, my friends and family, the internet, Blogger and everyone who visits my blog to read my silly adventures. I´d would also like to thank Mark for always reading the ramblings of his wife and to give me back ´his´ camera. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;And that´s why I give him the Lemonade Award. He is the one who wanted me to start the blog.....so he is the one to blame for all what I write!  &lt;/span&gt;I love you, more than most!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I better stop now before it gets too long and they will drag me of the stage.

Wat heb ik genoten van alle drukte. Compleet in de watten gelegd door mijn ouders en vriendinnen. Toch wel prettig dat je als volwassen vrouw even een weekje weer het kind bent. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Boerenkool eten terwijl het mooi weer is.....koffie met een koekje krijgen....wurgknuffels van mijn moeder en naar de rommelmarkt met mijn vader.&lt;br /&gt;Maar waar ik het meeste van genoten heb....de slappe lachmomenten met mijn ouders en vriendinnen!&lt;br /&gt;Mark is vanochtend vetrokken naar Amerika, met de camera! Hij gaat na een week werken de kust van Californie verkennen en tja...dat moet natuurlijk wel vastgelegd worden voor de zielige achterblijvers (ik dus).&lt;br /&gt;Toen hij zei dat hij dat de camera mee wilde nemen had ik even een moment van ......eeeeh NEEEEE! Dat heb ik nodig voor mijn belevenissen in blogland! Ok, dat hij rondtoert in Amerika...zonder mij!...daar kan ik mee leven. Maar....de camera meenemen! Dat is ronduit gemeen! :)&lt;br /&gt;Dus dames en heren, deze week stort ik me op jullie blogs om te lezen wat jullie allemaal beleefd hebben,  maar is het nog even stil hier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kay en Isabelle, allebei bedankt voor jullie verrassingspakketjes! En nou kan ik het niet eens laten zien! Maar dat haal ik zo gauw mogelijk in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SiT3NQTAXHI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/6oCh8Z-8674/s1600-h/IMG_1652.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SiT3NQTAXHI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/6oCh8Z-8674/s400/IMG_1652.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342666865053293682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SiT3ciEIIPI/AAAAAAAAAiY/hl8pIRQYYNA/s1600-h/IMG_1653.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SiT3ciEIIPI/AAAAAAAAAiY/hl8pIRQYYNA/s400/IMG_1653.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342667127520764146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A field full of little rabbits across the Spandau trainstation in Berlin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I returned yesterday after a week full of fun. How I enjoyed the hustle and bustle. I was completely pampered by my parents and friends. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I had delicious meals ..... lots of coffee .... lots of hugs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;But what I've enjoyed the most .... the laughter I shared with my parents and friends! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Mark left this morning for America, with the camera! After a week of work he´s going to explore the Californian coast and well ... that should of course be documented for the ones at home (that´s poor me!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;When he said he wanted to take the camera I had a moment of ...... eeeeh NOOOOOOOOOO! I need it for my my own adventures... in blog land! Ok, that he is going to tour in America ... without me! ... I can live with that. But .... to take the camera with him! That´s just plain mean! :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So my dears, this week I will visit all your blogs to see what I have missed, but it will be quiet here for another week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Kay and Isabelle, thank you both for your surprises! I received a box full of goodies from Kay (with a DVD that was on my wishlist to see) and a gorgeous little bag from Isabelle and Lou. And now I can not even show it! But I will get to that as soon as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Lou......I love it! You are my favorite French artist!

En op het terras of in de berm doe ik net of thuis ben en ga heerlijk op mijn gemak, onder het genot van een bakkie, aan het haken. Wordt ik soms vreemd aangekeken? Yup. Kan het me wat schelen? Nope. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ieder geval vind Moos het de ontdekking van het jaar. Ik wilde even gauw een foto van het mijn kunstwerk maken maar dat werd bijna een slapstick.&lt;br /&gt;Het geheel net recht op het bed..de volgende seconde trekt zij alles overhoop... Moos van het bed tillen.....deken weer recht leggen..omdraaien om de camera te pakken....Moos alweer languit op het bed...en dat herhaalde zich nog zo´n 3 keer.&lt;br /&gt;Ze ligt eigenlijk nooit op de bedbank maar gisteren heeft ze er uuuuren geslapen.&lt;br /&gt;Tja....blijkbaar wordt het haar deken! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Moos weet gewoon wat mooi is......haar medebewoners zijn nog aan het twijfelen. Vooral het mannelijke gedeelte! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I am seriously addicted to the noble art of crochet... and will take it along on my bike rides . And so, sitting at a cafe or at the waterfront on a bench, I like to pretend that I'm home. I have my coffee latte and take out my crochet. Are strangers looking at me like I´m someone of outer space? Yup. Do I care? Nope. : D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I wanted to show the blankie and well.....to have a cat around is not making that an easy task. I just wanted a quick picture of my artwork, but that became almost a slapstick. I put the blanket on the bed....next second Moos was on it, messing around....lifting her off the bed..... trying to have it nice again .. turning around to get camera.... Moos having fun on the bed ... And all that about 3 or 4 times. I just gave up and here she is...in the picture....Little Miss Moos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;She never sleeps on the daybed but yesterday she spend the whole day on it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Well .... apparently she made it her blanket! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Moos just recognizes beauty when she sees it ...... we are still in doubt.

He probably wished I had stayed in bed....I´m very grumpy the first hour that I´m awake! ;) So I had my first coffee very early.&lt;br /&gt;Later in the morning I had to go to the dentist. I need to have a dental bridge which will cost about 1000 Euro! That really woke me up when she gave me the bill! I hope Mark still loves me after this morning ....he has to pay it!

The world looks so much better with some coffee, feet up, us both complaining about the whereabouts of the men in our lives and my fav dog at my side. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShNKFv_EJbI/AAAAAAAAAgo/kYnYehI9GPQ/s1600-h/IMG_1564.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShNKFv_EJbI/AAAAAAAAAgo/kYnYehI9GPQ/s400/IMG_1564.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337691446004950450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;So to make a very long story short......that´s my daily coffee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;PS. I got 2 awards today!! One from &lt;a href="http://trocbroc.blogspot.com/"&gt;Flos &lt;/a&gt; and one from &lt;a href="http://somethingsandmore.blogspot.com/"&gt;Pien&lt;/a&gt;. I feel so blessed that they gave these to me.  As I have said before I feel really sometimes that I am a lousy blogger. I make bad pictures..I don´t even know how my camera works. Just how to click on it and oh.....how to turn of the flash. That´s so sad...if only I would take the time to read the manual, but as usual, I´m too lazy. So the truth is that I take millions of photo´s and only one or two survive the selection. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with 3 awards in one week....I feel on top of the world. And it was just what I needed today. You make me laugh, sometimes move me to tears and often give me something to think about. I can be silly with you, travel around the world and admire all the beauty that you put out on your blogs.&lt;br /&gt;So to all who reads this......I forward these awards to all of you! I really have trouble to pick out just a few...you are a special to me for various reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShUem7bhigI/AAAAAAAAAgw/hHt-Io2aIo0/s1600-h/koffie+m%C3%BCggelsee.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShUem7bhigI/AAAAAAAAAgw/hHt-Io2aIo0/s400/koffie+m%C3%BCggelsee.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338206587454589442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A coffee picture special to me...Mark made this one last Saturday.

In Haarlem hadden we ook een bootje en ik vond het altijd geweldig om daarmee rond te tuffen.&lt;br /&gt;Met al de meren en rivieren rondom Potsdam kriebelt het dus weer.&lt;br /&gt;Zaterdagmiddag gingen we op pad om een boot te bekijken. Onderweg kwamen we langs een trödelwinkel en wat een geweldige plek. Ik kwam tijd en ogen te kort. Gelukkig heeft Mark foto´s gemaakt.....ik had even wat beters te doen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Ik had er nog uuuuuren rond kunnen slenteren en ga dat ook zeker nog een doen. Ik vond er een apothekersfles. Ook weer zoiets als de knopen....ik kan het niet laten ze te kopen. Groot verschil is dat ik deze wel gebruik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Mark wants a boat. In Haarlem, we had a little boat and it was always great to be on it when the weather was nice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;With all the lakes and rivers around the Potsdam, he wants to have one to again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So Saturday afternoon we went on the road to have a  look at a boat. En route we came along a junk store. Junk heaven....so much to see!. Fortunately, Mark took some photos ..... I had better things to do. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I could have spend hours there and I certainly will do sometime. I found an old apothecary  bottle. Again as with the buttons .... I have to buy them! But the difference is that I use these!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGhtADy2XI/AAAAAAAAAeI/vR1jA2NCOAc/s1600-h/800px-Berlin_-_Neu-Venedig_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGhtADy2XI/AAAAAAAAAeI/vR1jA2NCOAc/s400/800px-Berlin_-_Neu-Venedig_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337224827892849010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGjDVqbdhI/AAAAAAAAAeo/rXr-MunZMDs/s1600-h/IMG_1537.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGjDVqbdhI/AAAAAAAAAeo/rXr-MunZMDs/s400/IMG_1537.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337226311160788498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;En ja, dat ben ik. ;)      Yes, that´s me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGj2je_zUI/AAAAAAAAAew/uksWAsxIydo/s1600-h/IMG_1541.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGj2je_zUI/AAAAAAAAAew/uksWAsxIydo/s400/IMG_1541.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337227191044263234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De boot werd niets....we waren te laat. Maar aangezien we altijd wel houden van een ritje besloten we de omgeving te verkennen.&lt;br /&gt;In de buurt ligt Neu-Venedig, Nieuw-Venetië. Een soort Giethoorn. Houten huizen aan het water, vaak met eigen bootsteiger. We besloten hier wat te gaan eten en te genieten van de sfeer. Het was heerlijk aan het water waar je gerookte vis van het huis kon eten.&lt;br /&gt;Dus helaas, we waren niet echt in Venetië, maar toch ook erg leuk.&lt;br /&gt;Het voelde alsof we weer op vakantie waren en dat op een uur afstand van huis. Zo anders dan Potsdam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;O yes..the boat...the boat store was closed .... we were too late. But since we always like to drive around and discover new things,  we decided to explore the surroundings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;We went to Neu-Venedig (New Venice). It got its name because of......well... the canals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;We have to go back sometime to see more of it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;We had some fish at the waterfront, it was a little stall that sold all kinds of smoked fish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So no, we didn´t really go to Venice, but this trip was fun too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;It felt like we were on a holiday and that at an hour distance from home. So different from Potsdam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmJFujbuI/AAAAAAAAAe4/GYGCzRRsyxE/s1600-h/IMG_1556.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmJFujbuI/AAAAAAAAAe4/GYGCzRRsyxE/s400/IMG_1556.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337229708497219298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmnrwQBDI/AAAAAAAAAfI/9IZjdPyb4Lc/s1600-h/IMG_1555.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmnrwQBDI/AAAAAAAAAfI/9IZjdPyb4Lc/s400/IMG_1555.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337230234100958258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmYaq5eBI/AAAAAAAAAfA/h7h_JSj4yN8/s1600-h/IMG_1553.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGmYaq5eBI/AAAAAAAAAfA/h7h_JSj4yN8/s400/IMG_1553.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337229971817068562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onderweg naar huis reden we langs de Müggelsee, het grootste meer bij Berlijn. Het is erg geliefd als vakantiehuis gebied. We hebben ook al een huis gezien dat wij wel willen hebben. Compleet uitgewoond en waarschijnlijk staat het al jaaaren leeg. Maar wel aan het water en precies het soort huis dat wij leuk vinden. Als er iets is wat we samen héél goed kunnen: een huis zien en dan helemaal erin opgaan dat we het gaan kopen. Gebeurd nooit maar de pret is er niet minder om.&lt;br /&gt;Ik zag het hele huis en de tuin al als een nieuwe speelplaats waar ik me op uit kan leven en Mark droomde van een boot voor de deur. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;On our  way back home we drove along the Müggelsee, the largest lake in Berlin. It is very popular as a holiday home area. We have already spotted a house that we want. Complete rundown and by the looks of it already uninhabited for some year. But it has a garden at the waterfront and it is just the kind of house that we like. It´s one of the things we both like: to see a house and dreaming of buying it. It never happens but we like to dream. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I saw myself decorating the whole house and garden and Mark dreamed of having a boat next to our house. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-3376430260752103245?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/3376430260752103245/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-went-to-venice.html#comment-form' title='18 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3376430260752103245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3376430260752103245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-went-to-venice.html' title='We went to Venice!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ShGiyMgJA5I/AAAAAAAAAeg/lctKoOipYKA/s72-c/IMG_1534.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-8950761895701253202</id><published>2009-05-15T03:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T14:56:36.292-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh, the joy of hunting!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1DnXbB34I/AAAAAAAAAdI/3AwQdHoVlcU/s1600-h/IMG_1522.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1DnXbB34I/AAAAAAAAAdI/3AwQdHoVlcU/s400/IMG_1522.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335995477085249410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voordat jullie me van jullie lijst van gezellige bloggers schrappen......ik bedoel daarmee de jacht op dingen en zeker niet op dieren.&lt;br /&gt;Ik kan nog niet een spin vermoorden,die worden altijd netjes buiten de deur gezet. Van mij mogen ze zelfs met alle liefde in het huis blijven, ze houden van muggen (en ik dus echt niet!). Maar Mark heeft een spinnenfobie en zogauw hij er één ontdekt is het einde van hun huisdierenbestaan in zicht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het kistje boven is  één van de laatste vondsten. Het blijft me intrigeren waarom er Rettung 1924 ingegraveerd is. Wat is er toen gebeurd? Op de voorkant staat La Pay6 of La Pays. Is diegene gered in Frankrijk, was hij misschien een zeeman op La Pay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Before you me delete me from  your list of friendly bloggers...... I mean the hunt for things and certainly not animals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I can´t even kill a spider.  If it was for me they could all stay in our house, they like mosquitoes (and I really do not!). But Mark has a spider phobia and as soon as he discoveres one,  the end of life as a loved pet is in sight. They have to find themselves a new home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I recently bought this green wooden box. It continues to intrigue me why Rettung (Rescue/Salvation) 1924 is engraved on top. What's happened then? On the front it says La Pay6  or La Pays. Was he saved in France or was he perhaps a sailor on La Pay6? I love the fact that it was handmade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1ED3qpozI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/IEy4dJ93-IQ/s1600-h/IMG_1518.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1ED3qpozI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/IEy4dJ93-IQ/s400/IMG_1518.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335995966777041714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hebben allebei een zwak voor vintage souvenirs van steden die we bezocht hebben en dan vooral van gebouwen.&lt;br /&gt;De Eifeltoren is een aandenken aan al de keren dat we in Parijs geweest zijn en vorige week heeft Mark de Fernsehturm uit Berlijn gekocht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;We both have a thing for vintage architectural souvenirs of cities we visited. I once bought the Eifel Tower as a reminder of all the times we went to Paris and now Mark bought the Fernsehturm (Televisiontower) of Berlin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1GPsCD78I/AAAAAAAAAdY/HACsUas6GmI/s1600-h/IMG_1513.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1GPsCD78I/AAAAAAAAAdY/HACsUas6GmI/s400/IMG_1513.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335998368835694530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er waren wat vragen of het groene ladenkastje....wat zit erin?&lt;br /&gt;Dit dus....oude knopen. Ik kan oude knopen niet laten liggen als ik ze tegenkom. Ik weet niet eens wat ik ermee moet doen! Hoe erg is dat? Maar meestal gaat het me om de parelmoeren knopen die ertussen zitten. De liefde voor de zee neemt soms vreemde vormen aan. Ik kan het niet anders verklaren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;There were some questions about the green cabinet.... what is in it?. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So, there you have the answer .... old buttons. I can not walk past old buttons, I have to buy them,  I do not even know what to do with it! How bad is that? But usually I buy those buttons because of the mother of pearl ones that sits between them. The love of the sea sometimes takes strange forms. I can not explain it otherwise. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1HxoAUTCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/b9Q_bwqolqU/s1600-h/IMG_1510.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1HxoAUTCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/b9Q_bwqolqU/s400/IMG_1510.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336000051381816354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1IU9cXcmI/AAAAAAAAAdw/n7T9eOkiwgU/s1600-h/IMG_1514.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1IU9cXcmI/AAAAAAAAAdw/n7T9eOkiwgU/s400/IMG_1514.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336000658432029282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1IQ-m6KGI/AAAAAAAAAdo/j0nYAsT6qgo/s1600-h/IMG_1511.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1IQ-m6KGI/AAAAAAAAAdo/j0nYAsT6qgo/s400/IMG_1511.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336000590025205858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Have a great weekend and happy hunting!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-8950761895701253202?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/8950761895701253202/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/oh-joy-of-hunting_15.html#comment-form' title='32 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8950761895701253202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8950761895701253202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/oh-joy-of-hunting_15.html' title='Oh, the joy of hunting!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sg1DnXbB34I/AAAAAAAAAdI/3AwQdHoVlcU/s72-c/IMG_1522.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-4473701815247313484</id><published>2009-05-14T04:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T05:02:14.519-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Happy Housewife</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgv--wcBqEI/AAAAAAAAAcg/xGKdhZ3hxcs/s1600-h/IMG_1502.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgv--wcBqEI/AAAAAAAAAcg/xGKdhZ3hxcs/s400/IMG_1502.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335638537658280002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De zon straalt, de koffie is gedronken in de tuin...dat zijn al dingen waar een mens blij van wordt.&lt;br /&gt;Nou wordt ik normaliter niet een blijer mens van boodschappen doen. Het is een noodzakelijk kwaad. Maar vandaag is een uitzondering.&lt;br /&gt;Ik moest naar een supermarkt waar ik normaal nooit kom en vond tussen de toiletrollen en het kattenvoer deze theedoeken voor een habbekrats. Kijk......dan wordt ik op slag een zeer gelukkige huisvrouw. Afwassen moet ook....maar dan wel graag met zo iets moois.

It is a necessary evil. But today is an exception.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I had to go to a supermarket where I usually never go to and between the toilet rolls and cat food I found these tea towels for almost nothing. Look ...... thats something to makes me a very happy housewife.;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgwHXFVCYSI/AAAAAAAAAco/Rvkd_YKzzM4/s1600-h/IMG_1506.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgwHXFVCYSI/AAAAAAAAAco/Rvkd_YKzzM4/s400/IMG_1506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335647751675994402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgwHwYBXz7I/AAAAAAAAAcw/VPHjoYlWHKc/s1600-h/IMG_1505.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgwHwYBXz7I/AAAAAAAAAcw/VPHjoYlWHKc/s400/IMG_1505.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335648186190516146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En......ze hadden ook grote tafelkleden. Door mij omgedoopt tot laken. Past precies bij mijn nieuwe aanwinst uit Bretagne.&lt;br /&gt;Dus mochten er supermarkteigenaren uit Potsdam meelezen.....graag meer van dit in de schappen en ik kom met een lach (en blut) de winkel uit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And ...... they also had large tablecloths. I´m gonna use it as a bedsheet. It goes perfectly with my new quilt from Brittany.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So should any supermarket owners from Potsdam read this..........if you would be so kind to put more of this sort of things on the shelfs......

There are woods for long walks, the river Havel for all kind of watersports. And hundreds of lakes to visit.&lt;br /&gt;Last Sunday, when we had some coffee at the Strandbar, a watertaxi stopped just in front of us. Mark had the great idea to go for a tour. We boarded and spend more than 3 hours on the water. The watercab stops at some historic places around Potsdam. The weather was gorgeous, lots of sun and Mark was looking red as a boiled lobster at the end of the day. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgqRYKADIfI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/9H2bHfWXdFE/s1600-h/IMG_1435.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgqRYKADIfI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/9H2bHfWXdFE/s400/IMG_1435.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335236552761221618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is amazing how a everything looks different from the water.&lt;br /&gt;Potsdam has some castles.

And no.....that was not his wife! He didn´t enjoy it long because 3 years after it was  build he died in 1799.&lt;br /&gt;It had to resemble an Italian ruin.

Ik heb al eerder een bericht aan haar gewijd, jullie weten dus al dat een trouwe fan ben. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Kristina, ik weet dat je ook iets Nederlands spreekt. Bedankt en ik vind het geweldig dat ik deze Award van jou heb gekregen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Kristina at Mostly Berlin gave me with this award. Her blog is awesome and you should go check it out! As I allready wrote before I´m a big fan of her blog, not only because she writes about Berlin but also because of the fact that she´s indeed a lovely person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So I´m extremely flattered that she gave it to me!

Nou zie ik er ´s ochtend niet uit als een filmster en al helemaal niet in pyama...plus dan nog het feit dat ik me de ultra luie huisvrouw voel als ik ´betrapt´ word in deze staat. Dus ik had haast de neiging om de deur niet te openen.&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig maar dat ik het wel gedaan heb.....het was een pakje van Kim van &lt;a href="http://savannahgourmet.blogspot.com/"&gt;Savannah Gourmet&lt;/a&gt; helemaaaal uit de USA. Ik ben een koffieleut pur sang....dit kado is dus een geschenk uit de hemel.&lt;br /&gt;Kleine update. Ben net betrapt door een vriendin die langs kwam voor een kop koffie.......ik liep nog steed in pyama-chic rond. Tja....ik moest toch eerst dit bericht schrijven. Haar gezicht sprak boekdelen..... Aaaargh, zal ik het ooit leren om een Domestic Goddess te worden? Waarschijnlijk niet! ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;While my day just started and I was still hobbling around in my pyama, the doorbell rang. Well,  I don´t look like a filmstar and certainly not in pyamas ... and add the fact that I am ultra lazy housewife who doesn´t like to be caught in the act. So I was thinking to not open the door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Fortunately, I did ..... it was a package from Kim &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://savannahgourmet.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;!-- a--&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; Savannah Gourmet  all the way from the USA. I am a coffee drinker pur sang .... this gift is a gift from heaven. Thank you Kim......I heart you. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;To make my embarrassment even worse....I just got busted by a friend who came over for a cup of coffee.....and me still in my pj´s. The look on her face! Aaaaargh...will I ever learn to be a domestic goddess? Probably not. ;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-1172378465989591021?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/1172378465989591021/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/happiest-kid-on-block.html#comment-form' title='11 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1172378465989591021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/1172378465989591021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/happiest-kid-on-block.html' title='Happiest kid on the block'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgkr2LEWloI/AAAAAAAAAaw/Gvth1qAlGPA/s72-c/IMG_1484.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-8968131098371927444</id><published>2009-05-11T12:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T12:42:26.824-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holiday treasures</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgh5np7r94I/AAAAAAAAAag/jmfVe35Ojew/s1600-h/IMG_1406.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgh5np7r94I/AAAAAAAAAag/jmfVe35Ojew/s400/IMG_1406.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334647480798410626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag maar eens begonnen om mijn vondsten uit Frankrijk een plekje te geven.&lt;br /&gt;Nadat ik de foto van de glazen tafel zag, moest ik om mezelf lachen. Ik geniet altijd van de mooie foto´s in blogland. Maar op de één of andere manier staat bij mij altijd wel iets scheef. Scheefhangende lampenkappen, in dit geval zijn het de scheve kaarsen of ik heb echt rommel in beeld. Maar het is wel precies zoals ik ben....het laat zien hoe we leven. Soms compleet chaotisch, maar wel met stijl. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Today I made a beginning with giving my finds from Francea a place in our house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;After I saw the photograph of the glass table, I had to laugh myself. I always enjoy the beautiful pictures in see in all the blogs and Flickr. But in one way or the other in my pictures there is always something askew. Lampshades that are hanging to one side, or in this case candles that will not stay straight or sometimes or just proper mess in the picture. But it is exactly as I am .... it shows how we live. Sometimes completely chaotic, but with style. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgh65l_FVMI/AAAAAAAAAao/IDr8ep-bqUM/s1600-h/IMG_1397.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgh65l_FVMI/AAAAAAAAAao/IDr8ep-bqUM/s400/IMG_1397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334648888488187074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;De strandvondsten hebben ook hun plek gekregen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;The beach finds have found their place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-8968131098371927444?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/8968131098371927444/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/vandaag-maar-eens-begonnen-om-mijn.html#comment-form' title='12 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8968131098371927444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8968131098371927444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/vandaag-maar-eens-begonnen-om-mijn.html' title='Holiday treasures'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sgh5np7r94I/AAAAAAAAAag/jmfVe35Ojew/s72-c/IMG_1406.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-7642522183888782442</id><published>2009-05-10T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T12:34:03.813-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perfect end of our holiday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgcRr_GfabI/AAAAAAAAAZw/6o8LF-swlvk/s1600-h/feets+up.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334251731014347186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgcRr_GfabI/AAAAAAAAAZw/6o8LF-swlvk/s400/feets+up.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hebben een heerlijke dag gehad. We hadden geen betere afsluiting van de vakantie kunnen wensen. Het geweldige van het wonen in Potsdam is dat we elke keer nog het vakantiegevoel krijgen van onze ´eigen´ stad.&lt;br /&gt;We zouden eigenlijk naar Berlijn. Maar na een nacht doorzakken met een vriendin had ik daar even niet de puf voor. Oooops! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;We had a wonderful day. We could not have wished for a better end of our holiday.&lt;br /&gt;The great thing of living in Potsdam is that every time we still get that holiday feeling in our own city.&lt;br /&gt;The plan was to go to Berlin today but we (I) changed our plans because I had too much fun with a friend last night and went to bed early in the morning.

Tja, blijkbaar is een vakantie in Frankrijk erg vermoeiend en heb je een week nodig om weer bij te komen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Ik merk wel dat zo´n autorit van 15 uur niet in je koude kleren gaat zitten. Maar ja, het doel heiligt de middelen. En de rit op zich door Frankrijk en Duitsland was erg mooi, vooral nu in de lente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;We had a great lazy week. Well, apparently, a holiday in France is very tiring and you have one week to recover from it. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;To be honest, I truly think that a 15 hours drive is exhausting.

Nu komt de regen met bakken de lucht uit. Dus kruip ik straks lekker op de bank met één van mijn nieuwe boeken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;This morning we had beautiful sunny weather and plans to go into town for a drink.

So I just have another lazy day with one of my new books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgQwmDWoz-I/AAAAAAAAAZo/r66Svh0N7EA/s1600-h/IMG_1403.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgQwmDWoz-I/AAAAAAAAAZo/r66Svh0N7EA/s400/IMG_1403.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333441289006927842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oja...vraagje. Ik heb deze oude quilt gekregen in Frankrijk (jaja...lang leve de vergeten verjaardag!). Het is echt prachtig maar heeft wat oude watervlekken. Tips hoe ik dat het beste eruit krijg?&lt;br /&gt;Het groene krukje heb ik nog even gauw op de laaste brocante gekocht. En toen zat de auto vol. ;) Oh....hoe jaloers ik ben op de Fransen die dit weekend weer naar hun brocantes kunnen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar hopelijk is het zondag mooi weer. Dan gaan we naar de rommelmarkt in Berlijn en daarna een terrasje pakken. Met dank aan &lt;a href="http://mostlyberlin.blogspot.com/2009/05/bonanza-coffee-heroes.html"&gt;Kristina&lt;/a&gt; voor haar supertip.&lt;br /&gt;Een heel gezellig en hopelijk zonnig weekend allemaal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;Oh yes, before I forget ... a question. I've got this old quilt in France as a birthday gift from Mark (. .. hooray for  the forgotten birthday!). It is really beautiful but has some old water stains. Tips how to remove them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;The green stool was a last quick buy at the last vide-greniers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;Oh .... how jealous I am of the French for having their brocantes this weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;But hopefully the weather will be fine on Sunday. Then we will go to the flea market in Berlin and after that some coffee in Prenzlauer Berg. Thanks to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);" href="http://mostlyberlin.blogspot.com/2009/05/bonanza-coffee-heroes.html"&gt;Kristina&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt; for her supertip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;A very nice and hopefully sunny weekend to all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-3929735890760637846?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/3929735890760637846/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/have-nice-weekend.html#comment-form' title='12 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3929735890760637846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3929735890760637846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/05/have-nice-weekend.html' title='Have a nice weekend!'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgQGm3g9s1I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/opbxzqgpHiw/s72-c/IMG_1393.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-746690526382407002</id><published>2009-05-06T01:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T14:47:29.645-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Corner view  on Shopping in Berlin/Potsdam</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFHp0P3xOI/AAAAAAAAAYg/ZyFDduMx0Mk/s1600-h/prenzlau+2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFHp0P3xOI/AAAAAAAAAYg/ZyFDduMx0Mk/s400/prenzlau+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332622217508799714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday we went bookshopping in Berlin. We prefer to read our books in English. And although Amazon is great it is so much nicer if you can actually feel and see the books you want to buy.&lt;br /&gt;Potsdam has a nice shoppingarea in the old center but most German bookstores don´t have a lot of English books.&lt;br /&gt;So every now and then we go to Berlin because there is a bigger choice and well, it´s a good excuse to enjoy the walk through the old streets with beautiful houses and to have a drink on a terrace and watch the other tourists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFHyPIhewI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Ol2qmuiUiXE/s1600-h/savignyplatz.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFHyPIhewI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Ol2qmuiUiXE/s400/savignyplatz.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332622362164689666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First stop was the Savignyplatz bookstore. I can spend hours there...lots of books on art, architecture and travelbooks (my favorites).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFIZFicREI/AAAAAAAAAYw/Pz65CvGsLFY/s1600-h/IMG_1383.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFIZFicREI/AAAAAAAAAYw/Pz65CvGsLFY/s400/IMG_1383.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332623029603943490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a walk in the rain to the Kurfurstendam. To be honest this street is not my thing. I know as a tourist it is a must see for all the posh shops like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and their likes. But I only like it in December when all the trees are lit and it looks like a fairytale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFJzV1gTMI/AAAAAAAAAY4/e74YE845XKw/s1600-h/prenzlau+3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFJzV1gTMI/AAAAAAAAAY4/e74YE845XKw/s400/prenzlau+3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332624580167093442" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer the little shops in Prenzlauer Berg area. I like the atmosphere much better. The old houses, the benches on the streets where you can have a coffee and all the vintage shops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFL8tYuZSI/AAAAAAAAAZI/AqchNptsLPg/s1600-h/IMG_1386.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SgFL8tYuZSI/AAAAAAAAAZI/AqchNptsLPg/s400/IMG_1386.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332626940130911522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one is especially for Jane, the boss of the Corner View gang. ;)&lt;br /&gt;On our way back to the car I discovered this little dog shop, with a whole wall of dog collars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I probably spend the rest of my day travelling the blogland to watch all the corner views. A girl has to do what a girl has to do....&lt;br /&gt;(Such a good excuse to neglect the house (and husband ooops) for another day.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are the links to have a trip around

Is nooit mijn hobby geweest al heb ik zo nu en dan een vlaag van verstandsverbijstering en poets het hele huis tot in de kleinste hoekjes en gaatjes.&lt;br /&gt;Maar deze week is het vakantie en dus ook qua poetsen...dat blijft wel liggen.&lt;br /&gt;En wie denkt er nou aan de was of opruimen als je -tig blogs moet bijlezen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag zijn we naar Berlijn geweest maar daarover morgen meer tijdens Corner View.&lt;br /&gt;En terwijl mijn wederhelft een kompleet boek aan het lezen is in het warme sop ben ik aan het reizen door blogland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ik heb net de blog van Kristina ontdekt, &lt;a href="http://mostlyberlin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mostly Berlin&lt;/a&gt;. Een echte aanrader voor Berlijn-liefhebbers, voor als je van plan bent om naar Berlijn te gaan, voor vintage maar eigenlijk voor iedereen.&lt;br /&gt;Ik ben blij dat ik door haar commentaar op mijn vorige bericht nieuwe dingen in Berlijn ga ontdekken. Thank you Kristina!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I am a such a lazy housewife. It has never been my hobby but so now and then I´m going mad and clean the whole house to the smallest nooks and crannies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;But this week is a holiday and so the cleaning has to wait ... that will be still there next week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And who thinks of cleaning up if you have to catch up on all the blogs. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Today we have been to Berlin but more about that tomorrow on Corner View.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And while my better half is reading a complete book in the bathtub, I am enjoying my travel through Blogland.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;And I've just discovered the blog of Kristina of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://mostlyberlin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mostly Berlin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;. A real must for lovers of Berlin, if you're planning to travel to Berlin or for vintage lovers or just for the fun of it. I loved it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I am really glad that she commented on my previous post.....now I have all these new places to go to in Berlin.

Het oude vissershuisje dat we gehuurd hadden was een gelukstreffer. De eigenaresse was een schat, een gepensioneerde professor Latijn en Grieks uit Parijs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;We are back home!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;It was great. The old fisherman's house that we had hired was a lucky hit. The owner was a a very sweet woman, a retired professor Latin and Greek in Paris who now lives in Le Croisic. What a lucky woman!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sf9f8KpFwPI/AAAAAAAAAXw/ttizbUC0D1Y/s1600-h/huis.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sf9f8KpFwPI/AAAAAAAAAXw/ttizbUC0D1Y/s400/huis.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332085971083444466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Croisic was ook een goede keuze. Het is toch maar altijd afwachten waar je terecht komt als je via het internet een huisje boekt. Maar dit keer was alles gewoon perfect.&lt;br /&gt;Behalve het weer. We hebben 4 dagen regen gehad! We weten ons altijd wel te vermaken maar grrrrr, 4 dagen regen!&lt;br /&gt;Tip voor brocante-liefhebbers. Vier je verjaardag in Frankrijk en hoop dat je man je verjaardag vergeet. ;) Mark vergat mijn verjaardag en ik moest hem herinneren dat ik jarig was. Schuldgevoel is een prachtig ding ..... ik kon daarom naar alle brocantes die er die week in de buurt gehouden werden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Le Croisic was also a good choice. It is always tricky what you end up with if you rent a holidayhome via the Internet. But this time everything was just perfect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Except the weather. We had 4 days of rain! We know how to entertain ourselves but grrrrr, 4 days of rain!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Tip for brocante lovers. Celebrate your birthday in France and hope that your husband forgets your birthday. ;) Mark forgot my mine and I had to remind him that it was my birthday. Guilt is a beautiful thing ..... I could go to the all brocantes in the area that were held that week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sf9hH6_jh_I/AAAAAAAAAYA/UxqQlN-Tj-Q/s1600-h/brocante+markt.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sf9hH6_jh_I/AAAAAAAAAYA/UxqQlN-Tj-Q/s400/brocante+markt.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332087272552761330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb daar dan ook gretig gebruik van gemaakt. Het leuke is dat ze allemaal in de buitenlucht in een dorp zijn. Afgelopen vrijdag zelfs aan het strand. Mooier kan het niet worden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I made good use of that. The nice thing is that they are all on the streets in a village. Last Friday, even at the beach.

Ik word altijd al gepest door Mark dat hij een busje moet gaan afschaffen voor mijn verzamelwoede maar dit keer had hij bijna gelijk. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;Mark is always teasing me that he should buy a bus because of all the stuff I buy and this time he was not far from the truth.

Ze is niet bij me weg te slaan en slaapt ´s nachts op mijn rug. Niet echt relaxed maar je moet wat overhebben voor je poezenbeest. Maar veel langer moet het niet duren want dan ben ik weer toe aan een vakantie. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deze week hebben we nog vakantie en daar gaan we nog even van genieten. Ik ga op mijn gemak alle blogs bezoeken en kijken wat ik allemaal gemist heb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Moos is so happy that we are back. She is following me the whole day and sleeps on my back at night. Not really relaxed and hopefully she will stop doing that soon. Otherwise I might need another holiday. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;This week we are going to relax at home and next week it´s back to normal.

We zitten in de buurt van La Baule en dat staat bekend om het mooiste strand van Europa...we gaan het checken! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Zaterdag is mijn verjaardag en wat is er leuker om dat in Frankrijk te vieren?&lt;br /&gt;Over 2 weken ben ik weer terug in Blogland.&lt;br /&gt;In de tussentijd veel plezier allemaal.

"Kijk even uit het raam!"&lt;br /&gt;En daar zat ze in haar Barbieroze cabrio. Kinderen achterin. En alledrie uitbundig aan het zwaaien. Of ik meeging voor een ritje. Ik liep nog in m´n pyama, ben zwaar verkouden (door haar kinderen!) en had niet echt een geweldig humeur dus probeerde ik om ze af te wimpelen.&lt;br /&gt;Bij Tanja is dat tegen dovemansoren....resultaat....Jeannette op stap met de Barbies!&lt;br /&gt;En ik heb er geen moment spijt van gehad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Early this morning, the phone rang and it was my friend.

And all three of them waving at me. If I wanted to join them for a ride. I was still in my pyamas, have the flu (from her children!)

Soms werken ze zelf mee, hij is cameraman en zij actrice. Een saai leven is het niet....en ik geniet vaak mee. Door haar en haar gezin is mijn verblijf in Potsdam een stuk leuker geworden, het is eigenlijk een soort tweede familie geworden. Vooral omdat Mark vaak in het buitenland zit, is het heerlijk om iemand te hebben waar je je dagelijkse bakkie koffie krijgt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Tanja and her husband have a &lt;a href="http://www.filmvilla.de/"&gt;filmvilla&lt;/a&gt;, this house is rented out to photographers and film productions. Sometimes they work in the productions themselves, he is a cameraman and she is an actress. Their lifes are not boring.... and I often am part of that. Through her and her family my stay in Potsdam has become so much more fun, they are actually a kind of second family. Especially since Mark is often abroad, it is nice to have someone where you get your daily cup of coffee. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SeiSD9zvglI/AAAAAAAAAWY/K6odhChoGRI/s1600-h/IMG_0956.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SeiSD9zvglI/AAAAAAAAAWY/K6odhChoGRI/s400/IMG_0956.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325667156194460242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag ging de tocht naar het hotel waar ze dit weekend verblijven. Ik was er al eens langsgereden maar er nog niet binnen geweest. Het is echt prachtig. New England meets Desperate Housewives. Er is een groot hotel met een aantal vakantiehuizen, een restaurant, een zwembad en waarschijnlijk nog veel meer. Persoonlijk is het mij te chique, ik houd meer van Pippi Langkoushuizen, maar mooi is het.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Today, the first stop of our trip was the hotel where they stay this weekend.  It is really beautiful. New England meets Desperate Housewives. There is a large hotel with several cottages, a restaurant, a pool and probably more.

In Nederland pastte ik altijd op mijn 2 neefjes. En dan was het inderdaad een ander soort herinrichting. :) De oudste bouwde van alle lakens en dekens een tent in de woonkamer of gebruikte de banken en stoelen als een trampoline of glijbaan.&lt;br /&gt;En het meest domme idee van deze tante......rollen en rollen toiletpapier in een emmer water laten weken en dat tegen de buitenruiten gooien.....we hadden veel lol maar ik uuuuren lang bezig geweest om het weer van het houtwerk en de ramen af te peuteren. En de buren waren al hélemaal niet gecharmeerd van die actie.  Tja.....je bent een coole tante of niet. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Normally our house is in white or neutral colors but when they are here....well...not so white anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;I  got some comments on my previous post that I should be glad that they were not 4 boys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;In Holland I have 2 nephews. When they stayed at our house it was a indeed a complete different kind of redecorating. :) They made tents in the livingroom from all our sheets and blankets or used the banks and chairs as a trampoline or slide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;And the most stupid idea of this aunt ...... rolls and rolls of toilet paper soaked in a bucket of water and thrown at the windows..... we had great fun but it took me hours and hours trying to peel it of the woodwork and the windows. But what can I say ..... you're a cool aunt or not. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdy9P4HhTvI/AAAAAAAAAUk/nfY_mIlexDY/s1600-h/IMG_0906.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdy9P4HhTvI/AAAAAAAAAUk/nfY_mIlexDY/s400/IMG_0906.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322336940104699634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-8822687342151614282?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/8822687342151614282/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/04/interior-decoratingkiddy-style.html#comment-form' title='7 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8822687342151614282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/8822687342151614282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/04/interior-decoratingkiddy-style.html' title='Interior decorating........kiddy style'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdysXjo1qcI/AAAAAAAAAUE/-7HIdtuzLzU/s72-c/IMG_0901.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-3768169176789708565</id><published>2009-04-06T08:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T08:43:38.882-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to get chaos in your life</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdoh37kpj_I/AAAAAAAAATs/VguaW9CzTZk/s1600-h/IMG_0877.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdoh37kpj_I/AAAAAAAAATs/VguaW9CzTZk/s400/IMG_0877.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321603154459594738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You just need 4 little girls et voila.....within 15 minutes your house is complete chaos.&lt;br /&gt;And I love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdoh_9ghM1I/AAAAAAAAAT0/aS9Hf_HtUYg/s1600-h/IMG_0884.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 370px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sdoh_9ghM1I/AAAAAAAAAT0/aS9Hf_HtUYg/s400/IMG_0884.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321603292418093906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also a fleamarktet find from last Saturday.

Het is echt zalig lenteweer en het flaneren door de winkelstraat is weer begonnen. Eigenlijk is dat het leukste met Mark en de  bonte stoet samen te bekijken. Maar ja, de man zit weer eens in het buitenland en dan vermaak ik me ook prima in mijn eentje. Het bestaan van een huisvrouw is zwaar. ;)&lt;br /&gt;Oude dames die nog hun bontjas aanhebben (jaja....dat kan hier blijkbaar nog) en meisjes in minirokken. Mannen in pak die een broodje bratwurst eten in hun pauze en de jongens met dreadlocks. Hier is altijd genoeg te bekijken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Happiness ..... for me that is to have a Mocha Frappuccino on the terrace of the Starbucks here in Potsdam. Today we had perfect Spring weather and the main shopping street here was flocked with people strolling up and down. I love to watch the colorful parade, even more with Mark. But the hubby is abroad again so I had some fun on my own. The life of a housewife can be tough. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Old ladies who still wear their fur coat (yes. ... that apparently is normal here) and girls in mini skirts.

Er lagen prachtige lila  uitgeblazen eieren die ik meteen maar afhandig heb gemaakt. Hopelijk overleven ze tot Pasen want Moos heeft er een handje van om er mee te voetballen als ze de kans krijgt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;On the way back I came along a flower shop I had never seen. There were beautiful lilac blown eggs which I couldn´t resis to buy.

We hadden al een paar appartementen bekeken maar bij deze wist ik meteen, dit wordt het.&lt;br /&gt;Ik had al een hysterische huilbui de avond ervoor gehad op de parkeerplaats van het hotel omdat we naar een huis hadden gekeken in the middle of nowhere. Ik was er heilig van overtuigd dat Mark dat huis perfekt wond. Dáár ging ik dus écht niet wonen!&lt;br /&gt;Dat is het lastige als je in een ander land een huis moet gaan zoeken...je kunt niet even op je gemak alles gaan bekijken. We hadden 2 dagen om te kijken en daarna te beslissen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar bij dit huis reden we de straat in en ik had al een goed gevoel. Het zag eruit als een Parijse straat (straks met de bomen in bloei is het de mooiste straat van Potsdam). En toen we de voordeur open deden en het trappenhuis zagen....het WOW-gevoel.&lt;br /&gt;Veel huizen in deze buurt en ook in Berlijn hebben zulke prachtige trappenhuizen, ik moet altijd even binnenkijken als er ergens een deur openstaat.&lt;br /&gt;En toen we het appartement binnenkwamen.....witte schoonheid. Hoge plafond, vleugeldeuren, stucwerk en een trapje naar een kleine slaapkamer. Romantiek ten top. Ik was verkocht!&lt;br /&gt;Even voor de duidelijkheid....de foto´s van het trappenhuis..dat is niet in ons appartement. Het is het gezamenlijke trappenhuis. We genieten er met ons allen van.&lt;br /&gt;En ik voelde me inderdaad als Sissy toen ik voor het eerst in Potsdam kwam. Mark noemde ik steeds Franz. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdNtTRc4KNI/AAAAAAAAAR0/2lcyDvia-_M/s1600-h/hal+huis+potsdam+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdNtTRc4KNI/AAAAAAAAAR0/2lcyDvia-_M/s400/hal+huis+potsdam+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319715762724153554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;This is one of the reasons that I fell in love with this house.  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;I had been crying hysterical on the parkinglot outside our hotel the night before because we had looked at a house in the middle of nowhere. I thought Mark wanted that one and I really, really didn´t want to live there! The poor man. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;It can be quite difficult if you're in another country looking for a home ... you can not take your time. We had 2 days to have a look at some houses and then had  to decide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;But when we drove into the street  I had a good feeling. It looked like a Parisian street (when the trees are in bloom it is the most beautiful street of Potsdam).&lt;br /&gt;And when we did open  the front door and saw the hallway .... the WOW feeling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;Many houses in this neighborhood and in Be&lt;/span&gt;rlin have such beautiful hallways, I always have a peek inside when a door is open.&lt;br /&gt;And when we opened the door to the apartment ..... white beauty. High ceilings, wing doors, plasterwork and a staircase to a small bedroom. So romantic.

Maar er zijn 3 dingen die ik mis of zou veranderen: een tuin of in ieder geval een balkon. Ten tweede het behang op de muren vind ik vreselijk. Aangezien we dit huis huren en het hier zo´n 4 meter hoog is....weinig kans dat dit veranderd. Ik houd van kale muren. En het laatste is de keuken. In het vorige huis hadden we een echte woonkeuken met een gezellige tafel en een echte oven. Nu is het maar behelpen en hebben we een keramische kookplaat. Ik kan er maar niet aan wennen en mis het koken met een sudderplaatje. :) Sinds we hier wonen staan mijn culinaire avonturen op een laag pitje.&lt;br /&gt;Maar zo nu en dan zitten we in de keuken en dan ligt Mozes op het matje voor de stoel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdNphlM9aVI/AAAAAAAAARk/QsX9nwcfldY/s1600-h/keuken.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdNphlM9aVI/AAAAAAAAARk/QsX9nwcfldY/s400/keuken.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319711610497755474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;Our house, I am really happy with it. But there are 3 things I miss or would change: first of all I mis not having a garden or at least a balcony. Secondly, the wallpaper on the walls, I hate that, I love bare walls. But since we rent this house and this is about 4 meters high .... unlikely that this will be changed. And then there is the kitchen. In the previous house we had a big kitchen with a cozy table and a real oven. Now  we have a ceramic hob and no table. Since we live here my culinary adventures are on the back burner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;But every now and then we sit in the kitchen and then Moses sits on the mat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdHoBeIoSWI/AAAAAAAAARc/wzuzD8GkJOw/s1600-h/IMG_0837.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/SdHoBeIoSWI/AAAAAAAAARc/wzuzD8GkJOw/s400/IMG_0837.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319287746868037986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moos is ´enig kind´ in huis en krijgt en wil dus veel aandacht. Is het niet goedschiks dan kwaadschiks. Om haar bezig te houden had ik een touwtje aan de mat geknoopt zodat ze daar mee kon spelen en wij wat rust hadden.&lt;br /&gt;En tja...een mens verveelt zich ook wel eens, dus op een bepaald moment gingen we met haar op het matje de keuken door, een soort veredeld sleetjerijden voor katten. En van de keuken naar de gang. En toen werd het een wedstrijd tussen Mark en mij wie haar het snelst door het hele huis kon sleuren. Ik heb gewonnen!&lt;br /&gt;Moos zit als een prinses op haar matje terwijl wij haar door de gang, woonkamer, eetkamer en weer de gang terug naar de keuken brengen. Zij lol en wij lol.&lt;br /&gt;Geluk zit in kleine dingen. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;Moos is the 'only child' in the house and gets and wants much attention. In order to keep her busy, I had knotted  a rope to the mat so that she could play with it and we had some rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;And well ... a man/woman gets bored also so at one time we started to drag her through te kitchen on her mat, a kind of refined sleighride for cats. And from the kitchen to the hallway. And then it became a contest between Mark and me who's the fastest dragging her through the whole house.

De huissleutel hadden we al in december gekregen, wat erg handig was aangezien Mark 2 januari aan het werk moest in Berlijn.&lt;br /&gt;Een man heeft natuurlijk een aantal dingen nodig als hij 2 weken alleen in een leeg huis moet wonen, dus vertrokken we Eerste Kerstdag richting Potsdam met een matras, een magnetron, een paar lampen en de televisie. Aangezien we nog een kleerkast en dergelijke nodig hadden had Mark het plan opgevat dat we Tweede Kerstdag naar Berlijn zouden rijden om daar de Ikea onveilig te maken. Hoewel ik twijfelde of die wel geopend zou zijn, was hij er heilig van overtuigd dat die natuurlijk op zo´n dag geopend is.&lt;br /&gt;Dus wij naar Berlijn. Leuke rit, want ik vond alles spannend in Berlijn. Het was heerlijk rustig in de stad. Te rustig. Bij Ikea aangekomen...geen auto´s op de parkeerplaats. Geen mens te bekennen. Berlijn heeft 3!! Ikea´s en daar Mark niet gauw opgeeft heb ik ze die dag ook alle 3 gezien. Met hetzelfde beeld elke keer....DICHT.&lt;br /&gt;Mark had toen een plan B voor de rest van de dag....we gaan naar Polen! Ik nog nagevraagd of hij zijn paspoort bij zich had. Dat was volgens hem niet nodig want hij had zijn rijbewijs en dat was voldoende. Ik was sceptisch, maar het Poolse avontuur lokte. Ok, we rijden een aantal uren en staan haast net zolang in de file voordat we bij de grensovergang belanden.&lt;br /&gt;Het raampje wordt naar beneden gedraaid. Ik zwaai met mijn paspoort en Mark met zijn rijbewijs.&lt;br /&gt;´Mag ik ook even uw paspoort zien?´ `Tja, die ligt nog in Berlijn` `Dan gaat u die maar eerst ophalen en dan mag u Polen in....als u nu even 100 meter door wilt rijden dan kunt u daar naar links terug naar Duitsland`&lt;br /&gt;Dat was mijn korste verblijf ooit in een ander land. Twee minuten Polen!&lt;br /&gt;Wat heeft dat met dit ei te maken? Een half jaar later hebben we een dagtrip naar Polen gemaakt en bij de grensovergang heb ik dit ei als aandenken gekocht. Dit ei is voor mij een herinnering aan onze eerste Kerst in Potsdam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sc09FMOyotI/AAAAAAAAARE/yFktHAus8gU/s1600-h/IMG_0816.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 166px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sc09FMOyotI/AAAAAAAAARE/yFktHAus8gU/s400/IMG_0816.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317973894386328274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Mid January 2008 we officially moved to Potsdam. We got the housekeys in December, which was very handy because on January 2 Mark had to start working in Berlin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;A man obviously has some things that he needs when he is 2 weeks alone in an empty house, so we left Christmas Day to Potsdam with a mattress, a microwave, a few lamps and the TV. Since we needed a wardrobe and such Mark had the plan that on Boxing Day we would drive to Berlin to the Ikea. Although I had doubts that it would be opened, he was firmly convinced that this  of course would be open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So we drove to Berlin. Nice ride, because I thought everything was exciting about Berlin. It was quiet in the city. Too quiet. When we arrived at Ikea ... no cars in the parking lot. No man in sight. Berlin has 3! Ikea's and Mark is not likely to give up, so I saw all 3. With the same picture every time .... CLOSED.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Mark had a plan B for the rest of the day .... we go to Poland! I asked if he had his passport with him. That was not needed because he had his license and that was enough. I was skeptical, but the Polish adventure was tempting. Ok, so we drive a few hours and are almost as long in traffic jam before we arrive at the border.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;The window is lowered. I show the man my passport and Mark his license.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;'Do you also have your passport? "` Well, that is still in Berlin `` Then you go and get it an then you can come back here .... if you just please drive a 100 yards then go to the left, back to Germany "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;That was my shortest ever stay in another country. Two minutes Poland!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;What has that to do with this egg? Six months later we have a day trip to Poland and in a shop at the border, I bought this egg as a souvenir. This egg will always be a memory of our first Christmas in Potsdam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/128/665B9A2C78D57D110F591D550A9FCB5A.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9087728103752041115-3078097498147500925?l=jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/feeds/3078097498147500925/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/03/polish-egg.html#comment-form' title='7 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3078097498147500925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9087728103752041115/posts/default/3078097498147500925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jeannesanssoucis.blogspot.com/2009/03/polish-egg.html' title='The Polish Christmas Egg'/><author><name>Jeanne</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ScvPcZr8qTI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/muYr8bRLNVw/s72-c/IMG_0817.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087728103752041115.post-4250265018599821324</id><published>2009-03-25T07:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T01:50:01.077-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The long life of a bone</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sco94R_RwcI/AAAAAAAAAQc/5CtGxRR3RYY/s1600-h/IMG_0788.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Sco94R_RwcI/AAAAAAAAAQc/5CtGxRR3RYY/s400/IMG_0788.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317130347175068098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al enkele jaren is het hergebruik een geliefd onderwerp voor boeken en ook in de blogs.&lt;br /&gt;Een tandartskastje dat nu een gezocht iets is, een oud vogelkooitje wordt een kaarsenstandaard en wat je niet allemaal met een meelzak kunt doen......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ScpLxYav9yI/AAAAAAAAAQk/Pot8qxzBQQ4/s1600-h/vogelkooi+house+doctor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 289px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/ScpLxYav9yI/AAAAAAAAAQk/Pot8qxzBQQ4/s400/vogelkooi+house+doctor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317145621804611362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vorige week in Berlijn vond ik op een rommelmarkt deze grote sleutels. Nu vind ik dat op zich al interessant. Waar is het voor gebruikt en door wie? Complete romantische verhalen zijn te bedenken. Toen ik Mark mijn vondst liet zien, keek hij me aan met een blik van leuk maar wat moet je ermee?&lt;br /&gt;Maar het leuke van deze sleutels was de sleutelhanger. Het is gemaakt van een bot. Vroeger werd dus ook al het hergebruik hoog in het vaandel gehouden. Wie verzint nou zoiets? Had diegene gauw een sleutelhanger nodig en maakte van de nood een deugd en plukte een afgekluifd botje van het aanrecht? Of was een familietraditie? Het moet gezegd worden...het ligt wel lekker in de hand.

Now that in itself I already find interesting. What was it used for and by whom? Complete romantic stories to be thought of. When I showed Mark these, he looked at me like...OK, nice, WHY??? And when I told him my fantasies about the keys I completely lost him. He must sometimes think he married a nutcase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;But the nice thing about these keys is the key chain. It is made of a bone. So apparently even in the old days the re-use of things was hip and hot :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;How did this bone become a key chain?

Haar blog is een van mijn favorieten, die ik elke keer met veel plezier lees.&lt;br /&gt;This morning I came back home from the hospital and found out that Simple Pleasure gave me an award. It is such a sweet thing to be awarded and espially if it is from someone whose blog is always a joy to read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Scjx2OWiZeI/AAAAAAAAAQU/T4r0eaylnQc/s1600-h/kreativ+blogger.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 215px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qqmiP2thq-o/Scjx2OWiZeI/AAAAAAAAAQU/T4r0eaylnQc/s400/kreativ+blogger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316765273978725858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik weet dat sommigen onder de bloggers het geven en krijgen van awards too much vinden maar ik ben er blij mee. Het is toch een teken dat iemand je waardeert. En hoewel ik in eerste instantie deze blog begonnen ben om onze tijd in Potsdam te beschrijven en daardoor te onthouden, is het in de loop van de tijd zoveel meer geworden. Het is een draadje met anderen, het is een manier om mijn vriendinnen en familie te laten zien hoe het met ons gaat en het houdt me van de straat :). En dat iemand hiervoor een award geeft...dat is toch een soort kadootje.&lt;br /&gt;De chirurg deed natuurlijk zijn werk vanmorgen, maar vrienden zullen we nooit worden. De hechtingen zijn er in ieder geval uit en nu moet alleen de zwelling nog verdwijnen. Maar in ieder geval, ik kwam wat down naar huis omdat ik na de behandeling weer meer pijn had. En dan vind je dit op je blog....een betere afleidingsmanoeuvre bestaat er niet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I´m aware that some of the bloggers think that the awards are too much, but I am realy pleased with it. It is a sign that someone appreciates you. And although I initially started this blog to describe our time in Potsdam to remember it, in the course of time it became so much more. It is a thread with others, it is a way for my friends and family to read how we are doing and it keeps me from the street:). And that someone gives an award ... that is a kind of gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The surgeon did just his work this morning, but we will never be friends. The stitches are in any case removed and now the swelling has to disappear. When I came home I was a bit down because after the treatment  I had more pain. And then I find this on my blog .... the best distraction ever .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De 7 dingen waar ik van houd&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;br /&gt;Mijn leven met Mark. Ik houd van hem omdat hij net als ik soms een groot kind is. Hij maakt me aan het lachen als ik verdrietig ben of ernstig last van PMS (door hem omgedoopt in Pest aan Mark Syndroom) heb. Omdat hij met me meegaat naar rommelmarkten en Ikea hoewel hij zich daar doodverveelt. En om nog duizenden redenen meer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;br /&gt;Toosje, onze kleine rat oftewel kat. Hoewel ze soms een ongelooflijke klier is die de stoelen en banken systematisch molt, het mos uit de plantenbakken trekt, mij elke ochtend wakker maakt en zogauw ik opsta van mijn stoel op mijn laptop gaat liggen (en uitdrukt!). Maar elke keer raak ik weer vertederd van dat kleine koppie. Mark kan hierover meespreken, hoe vaak ik hem niet van de bank heb getrokken om hem te laten zien hoe schattig ze nou was. Oja, daarom houd ik dus ook nog van Mark, omdat hij het elke keer ook nog doet, weliswaar zuchtend en puffend, maar toch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.&lt;br /&gt;Mijn ouders  en vriendinnen in Nederland die ik soms erg mis. Maar lang leve de telefoon en de bezoekjes aan Nederland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;br /&gt;De zee en vooral verlaten stranden vol met strandvondsten. Uren kan ik daar doorbrengen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.&lt;br /&gt;Het internet en vooral de blogwereld. De afgelopen week was ik erg blij dat ik door het internet de nodige afleiding kon vinden toen ik haast dol werd van de kiespijn. Ik heb zulke leuke mensen leren kennen en zoveel inspiratie opgedaan. Dat ik zelfs na jaaaaren weer aan het haken ben geslagen komt door de blogs. Wie had dat ooit gedacht. Het is gluren bij de buren maar dan wereldwijd. Zalig!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.&lt;br /&g
