My daughter Jordana, pictured in May making cake balls for her grandfather's 80th-birthday.
Please indulge a little sentimentality as I wish a very Happy birthday to my wonderful daughter! I couldn't be more proud of her.
This is also the day David and I signed the final documents for the house we're buying just north of Amsterdam! All being well, we will move on January 26th.
Later in the year, Jordana will spend her vacation time with us in the Netherlands. I suspect we'll also take a quick jaunt to Paris (where Jordana graduated high school).
Happy days! We are truly fortunate.






Congratulations to all!

Happy Birthday to lovely Jordana! And congratulations to you and David for the new home. I am really excited for you and honestly, for your readers as well because I am hoping you will share many pictures of the new home and Amsterdam and the surrounding country.
