Late April in Netherlands: Dinner at Rhodos; dock


Rhodos is our favorite Greek Restaurant and now that it's warm, they have a floating platform set up with lots of outdoor tables. Everyone is taking advantage of the warm weather and most of the tables were full, even though it was fairly early for dinner. I never needed a coat or jacket this entire April-May trip, even at night.

April in Scottsdale: Joyce's Clogs


Dennis and I went to Phoenix-Scottsdale for the second weekend in May. I attended a color pencil/lettering workshop with Jane Shibata. Joyce brought her clogs along. She has Belgium relatives on her father's side.

Amsterdam Heraldry


This plaque was inside the Amsterdam Historical Museum.
A couple colleages came to town and, of course, everyone wants to go to Amsterdam. First, we took on a canal tour, then walked over to the museum.

Zaanse Gallery Door Sign


This gallery was in a big house--it appeared that the owners live in part of it.
