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.

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.

Little gentlemen

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

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!
