Springtime in Harrogate
Here is the beautiful springtime flowers we had the pleasure of seeing. First flowers blooming in the springtime were the crocuses. They were everywhere and the flowers were as think as a carpet. The purple and white was beautiful. Next came the daffodils. They were also everywhere. Then we saw the tulips and then the beautiful blooming trees. The Valley Gardens across from our flat have been beautiful.
Harewood House
Hi, back again, trying to catch up. Here is a place which is halfway between us and church. We pass by it all the time. They are always having events on their grounds. We finally went here when Linda's mom was here in April.

Amsterdam
We had a lot of fun taking Linda's Mom to see the sites of Amsterdam. It is a city of canals which I did not realize. If you are not aware, the house of Anne Frank is in Amsterdam. We were able to go tour through their home. It is amazing they lived in this home, their secret hiding place, for two years. Here is some pictures of Amsterdam. Enjoy!

Of course, tulips in Amsterdam

Keukenhof - Amsterdam
Hi, sorry it has been a while. Things have gotten very busy at work. I am going to try to catch-up and stay up with things as we travel. I am writing this to you as we wait for our flight in Jersey, the Channel Islands. This trip to Amsterdam was taken in early April with Linda's mom who was with us the entire month. While we were in Amsterdam, we visited with Karsten's parents. I was going to be showing you pictures of the Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam and then I will share with you some Amsterdam pictures. Thanks for looking. Have a great day.
The flowers are making a picture, what is it?
Color abounds!
We are in the Netherlands, here is our Windmill!
Just a very small sampling of all the flowers at Keukenhof Gardens. It is only open a very short time every year.
Now what picture were the flowers making, the head of the Statue of Liberty.
Now for the British word. What is Monkey Nuts? It is peanuts.

Prague In March
This is a very lovely city. This was a very short trip. We may go back with Jessica later this summer. Linda will be glad to show you some of the jewelry we purchased and the new clock when we get home. Here is your pictures of Prague.

The astronomical clock in Prague.
St. Charles Bridge built a long time ago in the thirteen hundreds. It took 50 years to build.
This is the square where the velvet revolution took place converting the Czech Republic away from communism.
Back Again
Hello, everyone, we have started to travel again. It has been very busy at work, so I will try to catch up. Everything is blooming over here and it is very beautiful. If have not heard, we have been extended until the end of January, 2010. Linda, will be coming home for a few days in May while the major bank conversion is happening at work. Since the last blog, we have been to Prague and we just got back from Amsterdam today. We also have some pictures of the Gardens across the street from our flat. Linda's mom is spending the month of April with us. Our next word is Monkey Nuts. What is Monkey Nuts?
I am going to start with pictures from the Gardens.
This is our wonderful little car
Here is your little lamb. There are a lot of little lambs in the fields around us

It is getting very beautiful
