CONGRATS FROM BELGIUM !
Though belated, we want to join in congratulating Bill, Sr. on his 94th Birthday. Keep on walking Bill! The 100 is within reach, and... it shouldn't stop there !
We were also glad to learn that William, Jr. is better and that he's able to travel back home.
Sugar beet growing is dwindling here too. There used to be several sugar factories around here, but one after another is closing and contracts with farmers are on very low level. The reason for that seems to be a world-wide agreement with developing countries to reduce beet sugar in favor of cane sugar which is produced overseas only. Farmers here are encouraged to grow crops which can be used for the production of bio-diesel.
Imagine trucks and cars passing by, all smelling like french fries ???
We here are well and getting ready for Spring, still wondering where Winter has been this year.
Stay well all over there.
All the best from Belgium.
