Our Valuable Dutch Family - by Marijke

As I told Bonnie in an email, the Molijn family is mighty special. To think that Mom's brother and his wife came all the way over from Holland (by way of Boston) to see her and Dad - and then so graciously put up with all the rest of the family invading on their space - it's very touching. It would be like Albert going to Bonnie's sister's family's reunion; I know it would happen but I don't know if that family would actually plan a reunion around their arrival!! Maybe so. There just aren't very many gatherings for any reason in the Baker famiy. In any case, we love you, Hans and Anke. And we'd love to see pictures of your three girls and their families in Boston, Holland and Germany! Email them over and we'll do the blogging if you like.

Yes, us Schepers' only get together sporadically and we can't all make it all the time but when we meet, it's as if we'd only been apart a week or so!!

Here's a picture of Hans and Anke at the small (yet great) outdoor art exhibit that Magda told us about. It is at the University of Guelph and is truly outstanding; it was a highlight of our weekend... (besides the party, naturally!) The sculptured face you see is actually concave but it doesn't look that way when you look at it from the front. Students say that the face watches them walk all along the sidewalk on Gordon Street and they're right!!

Love, Marijke

P.S. I took a few pics of Hans and Ine, too but I'm so glad you posted those other shots, Bonnie. Any more out there? Let's see them!!
