I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

This past August, Gordon and I had a wonderful holiday in the Netherlands with our lovely eight year old granddaughter, Ariana. Her presence added a beauty, a light, and a perspective we wouldn't otherwise have had. Gordon immigrated to Canada with his parents and two older sisters when he was nine years old. He had never been back to Holland since, so for him it was a pilgrimage of sorts, to his roots. These are the stories of our time there.

Lunch at the airport with Ariana's Mom and Dad before we leave.

In Calgary airport an excited, and slightly apprehensive, Ariana and Nana await our flight.

Our KLM jet.

Goodbye everyone, we'll see you in two weeks!
