We've met these smurfs in the train. Ms. Smurf was from New Zealand, he from Maastricht. They were going to the carnival festival in the zoépkoel in Venlo, we were on our way to a dinerparty in Groningen via Amsterdam, where we went for lunch with G and the dog.

It was very nice to meet our daughter and talk to one an other. To travel via Amsterdam to Groningen is not a big detour and far better than chat with WhatsApp.

In Groningen my sister and hub threw a dinner party to celebrate their fortieth wedding day, in an all you can eat restaurant. It was very nice to sit at a large table with almost my whole family.
