Guess you beat me by a couple of ye...Dearest Diane,<br />Guess you beat me by a couple of years as I'm a post WWII child.<br />You are attempting like I'm doing, to create a story to the photos of places lived over quite some time.<br />We never had actually time to look back and study photos, another move, another job in yet another country + a new language. Total 7 languages and it sure feels rich!<br />But it is time for putting things together for my 91-year old Pieter. He has been such a worker and never had time to look at our photos or videos. Made all we had digital and now he's enjoying it on his iPad, bit by bit.<br />Hope he lives to see some more in print.<br />We published our book, not about memories, a scientific and practical book. In my learned Oxford English as I find that better for world English. I've opted for the most complex route of publishing by self publishing. That's the ONLY option for having worldwide print on demand reach. So I did and it will take four months till you get the first paycheck but that's okay. Hoping to get our costs back and feeling satisfied for leaving some knowledge behind for several others. <br />Feeling quite proud for having preserved Pieter's intellect as he's one of the world's first and leading pioneers in his field. Under P.J.C.'s Publications on my blog, below in the Labels you find them. <br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093019155556449576.post-40506236677446633032015-10-28T06:06:26.644-07:002015-10-28T06:06:26.644-07:00What a beautiful bride you were Diane.

It was a very hard decision to put Kubla to sleep, thankfully we discovered that it was the best thing we could have done. Very sad though with a horse that had so much promise for a great future.
