The day Marijke came for a visit

Do you remember @marijke post about a “Missing opportunity”?

She and Fred had it all nicely planed; they would fly to Portugal and rent a car. They had already crossed the map with a red pencil from top to bottom and every night they discussed excitedly;

-We will go to Lisbon. Then we´ll rent a car and visit everything. We could book the hotels right now.

-I think we would better begin in Oporto. We can drive down, always down, until we reach the beaches.

After all this enthusiasm, they ended up not coming at all. Such a sad, sad, thing!

I enjoyed your hospitality and the grandiose view from your porch. Fortunately, Fred could help you, and he didn't mind. He also loved it on your porch. We had fun talking, huh?. So sorry the time was up. But yes, the plane does not wait. Also on behalf of Fred thank you very much for letting us visit you. Love and to fast 💖😘

You know that in this terrible corona time, I don´t enjoy often the company of friends around here. It´s very difficult to fly now, so @Ingrid Tips en meer ´s drawing, the portal to and from Netherlands, was absolutely crucial. And I was quite happy not only with your company, but also because I could show you my veranda. I am very proud of my veranda. And I love my Nespresso machine. It takes wonderful coffee Please send my regards to Frank, tell him I said hi. And thank him again for the washbasin. It is absolutely fine, now😀❤️

So well thought out to invite them to come to Portugal and so great they could eventually set foot on Portuguese land 😄

@Teresa Seia Yes, I thought so myself. It would have been selfish of me not to invite them. I have many other opportunities to go to the Netherlands😉

@Naturefreak Wings of Imagination is not mine. It is a drawing of @Ingrid Tips en meer. My first visit was to Ingrid. Seeing how difficult it had been for me going there, she put the drawing on the Internet, and told me I could use it😉
