Top 5 reasons being in the US for the month of September is AWESOME:
1. Super nice people we know have not yet winterized their boats. And then let us ride in them.
2. A Starbucks to sell me cinnamon dolce lattes on every corner.
3. Ability to wash all laundry for the week in one giant load of clothes and then dry, fold, and put away with no ironing whatsoever. In the space of three hours. Without having to go outside.
4. So gorgeous of weather the entire time we were there. Really, Pacific Northwest, job well done. Definitely your most pleasant month.
5. Annual and prolific spider invasion back home is out of sight, out of mind.
Top 5 reasons being back in the UK after the aforementioned month in the US is AWESOME:
1. New neighborhood cats who invite themselves in when you are putting out the aforementioned spiders.
2. Control of one’s own destiny, specifically in regards to the ambient temperature of the home in which one is staying, Adriaan.
3. Canal walks on which one sees a Eurasian kingfisher for the first time.
4. New DVR allowing us to watch American football sometimes when we want to.
5. Stroopwafels from the Amsterdam airport.
Welcome home, me.

Just what is a Stroopwafel? Pray tell.
A stroopwafel is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked batter with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle.[1][2]
The stiff batter for the waffles is made from flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs. Medium sized balls of batter are put on the waffle iron. When the waffle is baked, and while it is still warm, it is cut into two halves. The warm filling, made from syrup, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, is spread in between the waffle halves, which glues them together.
Thanks, Matt! Your check’s in the mail.
I love friends that haven’t winterized their boats and take us for rides! Great day!!!!
