Leimuiden and our Other Home

Leimuiden    52^o13’40.86”N  4^o41’00.02”E   and back to our other home

I can’t really say whether life is getting more interesting this year, or we’re just more aware of what we’re doing.  A few nights before we were scheduled to leave,  a boat pulled in next to us and, after a few minutes, started making a horrible noise.  OOPS, wasn’t them, it was us!!  Now we had a problem with the water pump.  Not life threatening, or anything that needed to be dealt with immediately.  The next morning, Bill decided to take another look.  After losing a gear under the machinery for about an hour, he tightened the belt and the thing was working again.

MY HERO ! !

 Whoopee!!  Guess we’re getting better at this.  More work for us, but also more self-sufficiency and less cost.  Our worry/to-do list for the winter is much shorter and many orders of magnitude less expensive than last year as well.  WaterVogel is tucked in for the year, and we are back in the States.  Being back in Maryland almost feels strange this time.  We are accustomed to less space, fewer possessions, and knowing pretty much where everything is.  It will be interesting to see how this translates into everyday life here this time.  So, till next year folks . . . .
