Summer cards & will be away for a few days...



These summer cards will be my last finishes for a while!!!

Tomorrow, we are going to the city to meet with my niece and her DH. They are in Sweden right now for a week and arriving tomorrow evening here in Holland. We will pick them up at the airport but we will not go home to the island, isntead we had book a place just outside Amsterdam for a couple of nights. They had seen the island the first time they came here almost four years ago but nothing from the mainland. So, that's what we're gonna do for a couple of days.
If all goes well, they will be spending friday here at home and then saturday we will drive them back to the airport...going back to their home to Alabama!




I'll leave you with a couple of pictures taken by DH this afternoon at the dyke with the tornado(waterhoos). It was seen on the news at eight earlier this evening and on the local TV news here. There were lots of pictures sent so it was quite a surprise when he's pictures were selected. I was at work when it happened and we really had a good view of it. It was my first time to see such so very near.
