Good news on Thursday evening

My mom is back in Belize whyle tourist are moving out.
Their was no phonelines for almost two weeks so tourist couldn't get money out of the ATM.
She was sitting on a flight from Taca Airlines with 22 people in stat of 200 normaly.
The goodnews is that she to the registeroffice in Belize City and gues what, Yes the send all the papers to Lenore. Thanks mom for al time.
Tomorrow their are some people coming to look at my house, hopefully they like for this price so I can move out. Specially after all the cleaning this evening. So now is Soccertime, AZ'67 is playing agains Sporting Lissabon.

Time Fly

It's already Wednesday, I don't know if Bep had a good trip back, but I hope she got the connection in Houston to Belize. One and a half hour is not much when you must pick up your stuff and check in again.
All the boxes she prepare for sending to Belize are already on transport so Bep on the end of may you getting busy again.
Gertie and Martine where busy today with my wooden stairs, they painted and I can see the results tonight.
Saturday is the 30th april and Queensday, I promise Gertie and Martine to make a nice day from it.
The weather shut be pretty and that means partytime downtown Enschede.

Must make my own lunch again

25th april, Wilbert is getting 41 years, well what a party.
I know he hate to gif a party, but I thought now Bep was here he got something in the house.
Nada like every year I don’t get nothing else as coffee with pie.
I was lucky that Bep and I took our own bottle of red wine with us.Sorry Wilbert but next time there is only coffee when you visiting me.

Yep as you can see in the tittle, I must make my own lunch again.
Bep just left at 5.30am to Schiphol Airport, she's always spoiling me with food when she visite us.
We had a really good time and she was visiting a lot of her friends and try to see them all.
The other thing is that I can go fearther with my crazy weeks, start at 7am on the office, help Gerco and Judith to finish their new house and start to paint at my own house.
Between that time I try to call Lenore as much as I can and try to send all the papers to her what she still needs.

Fridaynight

It's Fridaynight, Bep invited my brother, his girlfriend and his son Dustin and of course me to the Japanese restaurant Jasmin Garden.
The food was great, people where very friendly but their was one strange thing.
On the otherside of the table was a strange looking guy who was talking English,
we are almost sure that this was Santa Claus.
What I can't understand that he took a long way to eat Japanese Food in a small village named Borne.

One thing is for sure we had a great night, specially Dustin.

Just starting the day

It's 7am and I'm already in the office like the last few weeks.
I think Erwin couldn't get out of is bed, normaly he is the first one here.
We (Bep and me) tryed already several days to get contect my dad in Belize City, but the phonelines and the internetconnection is cut off since friday.
BTL workers are in strike and the only connection we have is with Jan and Tineke who lives in the jungle and have internet satelite connection.
We hear that tourist can't go to the ATM to get money, I'm getting curious how this is working on the international airport. Three weeks ago the people from TACA airlines where complaining about the bad connection from BTL.

Well time to start my day.

Tuesday 19th april

As you could read I’m totally back in the process called work.
Making estimates together with my college Erwin for the electrical parts.
Funny thing is that you can see when our other college Franz Jozef von Raanhausen
has nothing to do.
He’s always walking inside our office to see how things are going (See Picture) and always five minutes late in the morning.

What's up this week

Since 11 days I'm back in the Netherlands and everything starts again.
Overtime almost everyday otherwise we (Erwin and I) couldn't finished our estimates ontime.
Then Bep (my mom) is also visiting the Netherlands to take her stuff out off my house before I sold my real estate, she came one day after my flight.
During the day she's packing her stuff and in the night we visite friends, so 5 to 6 hours sleep a day is the maximum I got. Yesterday I went 1 hour earlier home to take a big nap and Yes my energy is back.
Mim and Bob (Lenore's parents) send me a card, welcome to our family, this was really nice from them so I made a phonecall to them.

Another thing is that Lenore has a appointment right now at the immigration attorney, I hope she has good news what to do.

Today I have also time to change my website a little, I have still a lot pictures from Belize so it's time to put them on the world wide web.

Just Married

This is a short message, we just went back from Belize last week where we got married.
Yes after one year and nine days it's happend on the same place where we fall in love on each other, Guesthouse All Seasons in Hopkins Belize.
The whole stufff was arranged by Bep (my mom) and Ingrid (owner Guesthouse).
We had a great time short time but we enjoy it much.
The only problem is that one of our name where written wrong on the paper so we couldn't get the stamps on time. Hopefully we get it next week so we can start finally with all the immigration papers what we fulled in already.
I spoke with my boss and we made the arrangement that I stop at 15th of july, maybe it's getting earlier now I have a buyer for my house.

Busy day

The talking that the economy is still bad, I can believe this anymore.
Why is it that I'm really busy at my office with the astimates.
In 2 weeks I'm sitting in the sun with my lover but before that I make everyday overtime with my college Erwin.
Erwin is the college who's get my function after I leave this summer.

Then their are other things, busy with Gerco's and Judith house with the electric wiring. Next friday before I take my flight to Belize I have a wedding from Paul, Erna and their daughter Maud. Is it possible to clone myself?.

Thursday was a busy day again, first to my office to check the astimates from my college. Lenore went with me to make sure that my boss was not keeping me for the whole day. After that we went to Gronau (Germany) to look for some stuff for Erika, after a stop at the travell agency to take a cappucino we came back.
Tonight we go to Rob and Eveline, they asked us for dinner, Raclette Cheese mmmmm.
Wednesday the last day, before we went out for dinner with Gertie and Martine in a chic restaurant we jumped in the car to Marloes and Vincent.

Both had a lot of fun for Lenore's camera.
Thursday morning, Wilbert my brother and his son Dustin was standing in front of our house at 5.30am to bring us to Schiphol Airport.
I take the flight to San Francisco together with Lenore to joy her family for X-mas. This is the first time I'm visiting the pacific coast of the US.

After a few weeks of silence I can tell you;"I'm back"
The last weeks where still crazy on my work, because Lenore didn't had a internet connection at her new place we spend more time on the phone then doing anything else.
But she's back, starting yesterday with work after a serverale weeks and yes she get her internet connection on thursday.

Last week I spend some days with Marloes and Vincent, they had a short holidaybreak from school. Then on saturdaymorning I went walking with Gertie and Richard on the Veluwe near Dieren, but damn I didn't had still now walkingshoes so I could feel it.

On Saturdaynight it's concerttime, Marloes and I visiting the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam for a concert off Maroon5. So next time more about that.

Greek Restaurant Rhodos

What's better after a walk then visiting one of our favourite restaurant.
Rhodos is one of the best Greek restaurant in my home town and it was no problem to ask Gertie and Martine with me. Nothing is to much for Aslan, the owner of the restaurant.
We had delicious filete de buey and after it a nice dessert with a lot of Passoa liquer in it.

Yep it's 10 october so time for a walk through mother nature, I called Gertie and ask him to jo.
His girlfriend Martine went also with us and the weather was perfect as you can see.

Time to write something

Well in guy's in the last post from Lenore you saw that I had a busy week and didn't sleep well.
It was all about some bid begin this week and we had some problems with the people who wrote the reckoning. Friday afternoon we send them a fax with our conclusion and went tired home.
Ofcourse during the week I took hours on the phone with Lenore and it's feeling better and better.
This morning she did a wake up call because I wanna see the Debat about Bush and Kerry, at that time it's 3am in the Netherlands. I was also surprise that the dutch television did a live report but I got crazy about the subtitles so I switch back to CNN. After this I jumped in my bed again till Lenore called me on 8am. We get used to the nine hours time difference, when I must wake up for my work she's calling me and when I'm finished with work she's waking up with my phone call.
Today I pickup my kids Marloes and Vincent instate off Sunday, Vincent still got a present for his birthday so we went downtown and after we had a good time at home.
After I brought home I talked ofcourse with my love, hopefully I know tomorrow if she's comming to the Netherlands in December.
I also called with Marion who's living in Kentucky, we have always a good time on the phone
and she's gave me some tips about all the imigration stuff what's comming to me.
Tonight their is a international soccergame like the rest in the world , Macedonië-Netherlands .
We see what's happend because we have a new coach Marco van Basten, the first game did go well but still.

No climbing but a drink with a good friend

I should go climbing tonight, but I could find my climbing-shoes damn.
I jump into my car went to the Arque and ask them if I forgot my shoes last week,
no shoes so I'm lucky that I blond. After washing the dishes their I went for a quick stop at Rob's house . He's busy with his badroom but it takes already three weeks, when I told him that I had Bok beer from Grolsch at my house he start to laugh and saw "I'm going with you".
So in 10 minutes we where sitting behind a good glass of beer.
Quintus my cat nothis that Rob was sitting on his favourit spot so, spoil me.

Dinner at Jacqueline

Mmm, we are lucky tonight. After a few time canceling we planned the date 3 october. Jacqueline , Paul E. and me (yes also Paul) are old college and we love to cook for each other. This time it was Jacqueline who's was making dinner and she did it lovely again. But before we moved to the dinningtable we looked at holiday pictures. Sorry for them but I still have every thing on the computer.

Visiting the West

Yep, it was a few day's quiet from my side but I have enough to writ now.
Fridaymorning 1 october, Lenore wake me up, I ask her to give a call when the Bush and Kerry are starting the debat (3am). Here in the Netherlands we see only a few minutes on the news so it's better to see it for myself. After that I took a shower, make some coffee and put the reckoning with the drawings on the table. It was still to early to take the car and drive to the office and before that I should go to the grocery for pickup my electrical stuff.
After a half day off work I went to Zoetermeer, my Aunt is 65 years today and give a little party.
The time to come their by car is around two hours, I got very sleepy while I was driving so I took a stop for a rest.
Before visiting her I went directly downtown, took a walk to the florist so I some flowers with me. My nepfew Albért, his Wife and daughter where already her for the whole day.
So after all the talks and dinner, my nepfew went back to the kitchen. It took him a hell of a time to put all the 65 candles on the pie but finally you can see the results on the picture.
Ofcourse it's now day when I don't have contact with Lenore, so we talk two times in the night.
She's ready to move in her own house today, i got also a phone call from a friend who's wanna stay in my house for a few days or weeks because her relationship is not doing well. I did it a few times before with friends and feel it like Bed & Breakfast. So we see what's happening.
It's time to spend time with my cat Quintus, so till later
