Cross Posted from the 101 in 1001 Days Project: 100 Day Check-in
In just a matter of hours, Lorie and I will be leaving the house here in Renkum, bound for Amsterdam, and then London. One week from today, by this time, we’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic, home bound for the United States, and then Montana. I’ll try to post from London, before then, if I…

Koffie in Arnhem
With so few days remaining to us during our stay in Gelderland, Lorie and I are beginning our preparations for departure, and that means that we’re making what will likely be our final visits to many areas that have become familiar during the course of these past two months.

November, Nanowrimo, and Movember
October transitioned to November this week, and Lorie and I spent our first Halloween abroad. It seems to be something of a non-holiday here in the Netherlands, or at least in Renkum, since we saw a few jack-o-lanterns at one restaurant, but little other evidence of the holiday. When we went to the grocery store,…
