Rob ordered all kinds of nice painting supplies. They arrived today and now he can make the next step in painting. He was also able to sign all of his work now that he has a special brush for it. We also made some good progress on idea’s for displaying […]
Rob and his helper Martijn used his Rio Mobility Firefly power handbike today. They took a spin down our road and it went really well. It will take some time for him to get comfortable with it, and we have a few adjustments to make, but it’s going to be […]

It is 5 years ago that our roller coaster ride began… I think this is the first time that Rob’s “Being Alive” anniversary has not affected either him or I in a sad way. I asked him how he felt about it, and at first he did not realise it […]

We had a nice visit with our friends Albert and Wilga. As always, lots of nice talks, good friendship, and we also made our first bonfire of the season. We were also glad that Albert was very happy to have the nice little old Dutch stove that Rob’s sister Anne […]
It is really starting to be spring here, and we are happy to get out of the house and do things again. The reason for the title of this post is that we are trying to reclaim some of our previous life, and get back to doing some of the […]
