Here comes a new decade

Another year of stupid pointless garish xmas / not xmas celebration

Another in a series. Nice people. A good time. Many questions as to the future of our planet. This is a weird world.

Good Bye Reny

The second mom left us December 5th, 2019.  I am not sure what is to be said about a woman who had the courage to live to almost 90, fortified with a great faith and surrounded by love, even when that love sometimes felt at arms length. She survived the Japanese occupation of Indonesia, the repatriation to Holland, post war European scarcities, emigration to a strange new country and four children.  Reny Maassen was a good woman, not without faults and imperfections, like all of us. Death is unfair but not always unwelcome. She missed Jules.

I miss her.
