Dearest Betsy, Due to my Dad's passing on June 30, this year's 4th of July went by without any meaning... So grateful for having gone to The Netherlands one final time together with Pieter before going on the Danube cruise. My gut feeling proved once more to be right and even on Father's Day when Dad was in the hospital, we did go and said our final goodbye to him. Emotional but valuable and we have talked and expressed feelings that my six siblings have not done... Guess living 8,000 km away makes you more aware of an intonation when calling on the phone and for picking up messages. Hugs and happy belated 4th; tomorrow we celebrate with friends and looking forward to it! Mariette
