Visiting Anne in Michigan

 I flew out to Ann Arbor to spend a few days with Shlee, my Wells College roommate. I had a fabulous time! She was a very caring, thoughtful, and energetic host!!

Love the colors of these houses!

 Adriano's friend Oscar surprised me one  day and showed up unexpected on our doorstep. Turnabout's fair play. Anne and I surprised his wife and sons in the same way! Great Fun! We were very well received!

Oscar came to visit us at Anne's house the following evening. Happy Birthday, Oscar!

HOLLAND

Anne very kindly agreed to take me to Holland so that I could see where Frederik Walters, my great-grandfather, settled when he emigrated to the US in 1860. He was German but, for some unknown reason, opted to settle among the Dutch!

A monument to all of Holland's veterans - Frederik was a veteran of the Civil War

 The Dutch pastor who founded Holland

He and his followers were searching for religious freedom.

Tulips, of course, everywhere!
