YAY! Xmas has come for me, January 2, 2015, about 3:35 pm Thank you (JoseB), for the astonishing presents from my old ancestors’ place. I am also from the Netherlands genealogically – both from my mothers’ and fathers’ descendants (Gronigen, I believe). You have given me yummy chocolates, notebooks, greeting cards, gummies, and licorice? And weird salty hard candies!
And more than that I cannot describe. And thank you also for the hand-written note via fountain pen! Very special!
If anyone should ever require an example of the concept of “gracious, elegant and clever”, cite this sentence. Ivory Tower Denizen, my grandmother (born in 1901 and every inch a grande dame), would not understand the Internet at all, but that sentence would earn you her highest accolade: you were raised right.
