One of the highlights of our first week was driving into the Nederlands to visit our dear friends, Ad & Marjo Rietveld and their daughter, Susan and her 2 girls.  John and Ad worked together for many years at WordPerfect.  For 3 years they were our neighbors in Orem when our kids were small.  We continue to be EsNet business partners.  What a wonderful reunion we had!

We went to a very fun pancake house for lunch.  They served sweet and savory pancakes, as large as pizzas!

A very small Christmas Market by the pancake house:  

Many years ago Marjo made this hand quilted beautiful quilt for me.  I decided her granddaughters would treasure it and should have it so I brought it back for them.  They were thrilled!
