I lov...It's a pleasure to meet you, Elizabeth!<br /><br />I loved reading the "About Me" part of your profile. It was what made me click "follow", as well.<br /><br />We moved officially here in the Netherlands in March, 2009; I lived before that 16 years in Germany. <br /><br />I am excited to get to know each other through our blogs because I have had an affinity to Australia since my childhood days. My dad was a tourist guide in the Philippines, and I used to correspond for him with the friends he had made from abroad (dad was a very sociable person did not have much interest in letter writing!). <br /><br />As a nine year old, I exchanged letters with a couple from Brisbane, Australia (Lorraine & Gary! I can't get over the fact that I remember their first names but not their last!). If, I find their pictures in my boxes of old photographs, I might use it for my B entry tonight. They made such an impression on me because of the long letters they sent in reply to mine; I appreciated how they took time to answer my queries about life in Australia.<br /><br />Also a very good long standing blogger friend from Queensland was instrumental in making me stay on with blogging, when I almost gave it up four years ago.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Here is to new friendship across the oceans!<br /><br />Joanna aka paper~Joanna aka Paperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632128051637735787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157737531217188984.post-47721491925104187722011-04-02T09:09:41.156+02:002011-04-02T09:09:41.156+02:00Hello, and good morning from this side of the worl...Hello, and good morning from this side of the world, Matt! :)<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by! I went over to check out your blogs, and I enjoyed the A to Z entries to both! <br /><br />I "actually" ;) can relate sooo well to the situation with your daughter that I read it twice, giggling through it (sorry, it is a cathartic sort of giggle! please know, you have my sympathies!).That post made me click follow! lol<br /><br />Just like you, this blog is originally only a place for me, and I wanted to keep a low profile. But honestly, I am enjoying the random visits from other fellow bloggers participating in the challenge.<br /><br />I would be visiting tonight to leave a comment on your blogs, since mornings are a whirlwind of activities, as you can imagine with a household with three young girls! :D<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Joanna aka paper ~Joanna aka Paperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632128051637735787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157737531217188984.post-14841343635214280092011-04-02T08:45:39.453+02:002011-04-02T08:45:39.453+02:00I'm always drawn to blogs about the Netherland...I'm always drawn to blogs about the Netherlands. My parents came from Haarlem but moved to Australia in the fifties. So I grew up with images of Haarlem in my mind. <br /><br />I have an aunt who lived for many years in Anna Paulowna. I visited her there. Ankeveen reminds me of the polders there. It's lovely to meet you.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157737531217188984.post-88385670976135000092011-04-02T02:02:51.548+02:002011-04-02T02:02:51.548+02:00Hello!
