Simply TULIPS

 
 
 
 
PINK
 

 
My children and grandchildren
 shall remember me by my love of tulips.
 
Tulips....
they make me happy
but the real ones never last long enough
and so
I decorate with tulips that last forever!
 
aka.... Fake.
It works for me :)
 
 
 
Celebrating Tulips in Pella, Iowa
Just a hop and a skip away.
 
Though I am Of German Heritage
(actually a Heinz 57 to be exact)
I am smitten by it all.
 
 
 
I am Thankful to enjoy the fruits of all their labor
as they make this celebration happen year after year.
 
 
Prettiest PURPLE tulips I have ever seen.
 
 

 
ORANGE



 
Bless the sound of wooden shoes.
Dutch Dancing
 

Le Petite Dutch...
 
The smaller they are the sweeter they are.
Expect to see lots of
Mammas taking pictures of their little ladies.

 
YELLOW




 
Little gentlemen
 
 
 
Tradition
Washing the street
 

 

 
 

 
Honestly....
 I want to take the little Dutch boys home with me.
 
 
Working hard.


 
Men, women and children.
Dutch Heritage
Passed on to every generation
 
 




 
 
 
 Adorable little miss

 
Perfect day for a parade
 
 
The Baby Parade is my favorite.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Row and rows of school children
Little boys and little girls holding hands.
I'll be storing that as a
Precious Moment.
 
 
I think Tulips by the thousands are planted.

 Their daddy is Dutch.
They say if you're not Dutch, you're not Much.
 They are a proud bunch.....
 
I just smile .....
I may not be Dutch
But  
 These little Dutch children 
are my grandchildren  :)
 
As long as they get love
they don't care if I'm German.
 
 
 


 
PINK AND WHITE

 
Looks like I got me a little Dutch Boy !
Just need an little hat.

 
WHITE with a touch of Pink
 

Purple princess
Practicing her smile :)
 
 

Almost 6 months old already.
Clayton Paul



 
My little sunshine .... Addi Grace.
Four years old.
 
Note to Nanny.....
Orange popsicles maybe not a good idea before pictures.
 
 
I think I've had enough....
My Nanny sure does take a lot of pictures!
 
 
 
 
It is good to be home.
God Bless the tulips!
