back from long leave of absence

Just returned from a wonderful meeting with relatives in Holland
The man in the pic is Harry VDBerghe and the two cute white haired sisters on right are Wil and Hennie van den Berghe.

Spent time at the den Haag archive trying to find Grt (etc) Grandfather Wilhelmus Koning who went to Curacao in the military and died there in 1802. No luck finding him in Holland...Bryson suggests we go to Curacao.

Anybody want to join us?

Oh, I want to go back to Holland so much! If I could talk my parents into paying me for a trip, I'd love to go to Curacao with you. :D

Hope you had a nice trip. I'm still waiting to see pictures of the wedding and Ann. Hope all is well with everyone. See you in a few weeks.

Welcome back to America AND your blog!) Sounds like a great trip! Did you eat lots of pofferetjes, panekeuken, frites, and olybolen for me?? (I know that I butchered the spelling on each one of those!) Yummmm.......

p.s. Where the heck is Curacao?

I'll go to Curacao with you! (If I can get Julie to pay for it. :} I hope Madison's wish come's true.) How fun that you got to go to Nederland!
