SOME WORDS FROM BELGIUM

Hello folks across the Big Pond.

It's so nice to read about some of you on the Blog.

Congrats to Ron who's going to join the 60+ club within a few days. Don't be afraid of that number, Ron !!! It's from now on that you will get the chance to be taken seriously. (Basing on experience to make that statement.)

Congrats to Susan with her Doctorate too. You may not know us, Susan, but just ask Marilyn or Mavis or William Sr. about us.

We hope that Lila may get better soon. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our special thoughts also go to Bill Sr. He's the closest relative of ours in the Lassey Clan and we are glad and proud to learn that at his age he's still going strong. We're sure that long expected oil well will come. He, and others with him, were hoping for that already during our first visit with them, back in 1976. (Ouch... 30 years ago !!!)

Nice to read about Dione and her family in Yellow Springs. They must indeed be very busy with all those projects going on.

We hope the beet harvest in Cartwright will soon be finished and that the financial turn-over of it is better than the truck "turn over".

Our greetings obviously go to all members of the Lassey Clan, including those we have not specifically mentioned here.

We are doing quite well here in old Belgium. Hedwig's kidney stone problem is solved. It meant surgery twice and seven pulverizing sessions. His breathing problem is under control as well, means that for the time being it does not get worse.
Herna is still the same busy bee around here, doing her household, making a stroll on bike with a friend twice a week.
And then there is our golden retriever "Bridger" playful as always. He became 3 last month, but sometimes still acts like a 5 weeks old puppy.

The road works in front of our house are almost finished. They lasted for over a year, giving us quite some reason to get our fill of it, but since this week we do not have to drive through the mud to get to our house anymore.

Our weather is really mild for the time of the year. We still have average day temperatures of 65° F and very little rain. It's not normal, but we can make savings on heating.

Well, that's it for now.
We hope to read some more of you all on the blog or by mail.
For those who forgot our email address, it's hedwig.deblaere@skynet.be

Cheers to all and Happy Halloween !

Hedwig and Herna (Belgium)
