Friday - The Adamsons left us today. The girls fixed us a nice breakfast of eggs, sausage, and pancakes. We didn't need to leave for the airport until 12:00 and while we were waiting, Hans came over to say goodbye to the Adamsons and invite us to visit Haarlem with them. He talked to us about his yearly trip to England to dig for fossils. Hans and Jose, just down the street, have a beautiful garden in the back of their house designed around boulders and fossils they have collected. The inside of the house is almost like a fossil museum. This hobby became Hans' main interest after he retired. And then Liesbeth came over as we were loading the car. Nice.
There was heavy traffic on the A1 and A9, but it only put us about 5 minutes behind schedule and we still arrived at Schipol 2 hours before their flight. Hugs and kisses to a beautiful couple. We really enjoy having them around.
When we returned to the house, Linda spoke to Joy on the phone and we realized that the girls would not be showing up until Wednesday. That would free up Tuesday for visiting Haarlem instead of going tomorrow. So, I went down to tell Hans and he agreed that Tuesday would be better. The rest of the day was spent goofing around and Linda playing her sax. The movie for the night was The Painted Veil.
Saturday - We can go pretty slow when left to our own devices. By noon, we were getting hungry and Linda said we needed to eat our fresh mushrooms before they went bad. We agreed an omelet would be nice. She started cutting and frying onions, mushrooms, peppers, and leftover sausage. It was smelling really good. Then, we opened the refrigerator to get the eggs. No - just hardboiled eggs. Hmmm.
I volunteered to walk down to the Eko Plaza for eggs and other stuff. I also stopped by van Asch (butcher) and bought some chicken breasts wrapped in bacon for dinner (thinking ahead).
The omelet was excellent. But, that was about it for the day. Reading and watching a little TV - Trading Places. This Frank, was the silly movie you were looking for.
