Size matters

It's funny how things creep up on you over the years.  When we first moved over to Holland it was a real shock how small everything was - the cars, the roads, the houses, the food portions - just about everything.  It took quite some effort to adapt.  But over time you just get used to it and it becomes your normal day-to-day reality.  That's why I was bit caught off guard on the last trip back to America - everything seemed so freakin' big!   Funny what a few years will do!

This refrigerator, professionally modeled by my sister-in-law Jen, could be a small apartment in Holland.  Ok, that's a bit exaggerated, but only a bit.

And this "appetizer"?  C'mon, are you kidding me?   Did I mention how much smaller the waist sizes are over here?

Gefeliciteerd!


Jonathan and Sandra have finally made it official and tied the knot!  This was our kind of wedding - small, intimate party boat, with great food, endless drink and dogs welcome!  I also think I found a new cure for jet lag - I got off the plane from Philly, slept for two hours, then got up and started drinking champaign at the wedding.  Congratulations both...and thanks for a great afternoon!
