That middle plant just isn't happy. But, the plants make the space feel warmer.

Boat Tour of Amsterdam

Jocelyn & Jorgen organized an amazing day for all of us in Amsterdam. Jorgen's best friend's (Floris) uncle lent us his boat for the day so we could cruise through the channels in Amsterdam. The tour was beyond words and pictures. The city was amazing! Here are the few of the many pictures we took! Jocelyn & Jorgen had a great picnic lunch for everyone on the boat. In attendance were: Jocelyn, Jorgen, Dad D, Zulu the dog, Jorgen's parents Jon & Emmy, Floris, Marika and various family members of Jorgens.

This picture of of the guys getting the boat ready to set sail!
