I think you´ve been lazy in the hammock sipping a soda, watching everyone else doing chores

Congrats to the winner

When I was younger I used to travel to England by boat, somewhere halfway I would throw in a bottlepost. Most of the time I would get a reply after a few months. One reply was very special. My bottlepost got stuck in an old dutch fishermans net. He didn´t know much english and I can´t write in dutch so we started to correspond using dictionaries. As you understand that was not an easy task, so we started to send small things - like sovenirs, photos - just to let the other one know "hey, I´m thinking of you but can´t write much". He used to send small presents for my children. This lasted about 20 yrs then the letters would come more seldom but I kept sending letters and cards. I got someone to help me write some sentences in dutch and I got a reply from his even olderly sister that he had Alzheimers and he was in a bad shape. A few months later I got a letter from his sister saying he had passed away We had never met in person but we had a very special friendship and I traesure his gifts. One is a wallplate showing a fisherman mending his net, got it on my kitchen wall and the other one is a small plastic sledge (christmas decoration) that my kids took a liking to. Every year my oldest son would hang it near the topstar of the Christmas tree and put a santa in the sledge. When he got older my other children would take over and hang it - so every Christmas we think of Piet and our special friendship. Up till this day we still hang it near the topstar of our christmas tree. and yes I do miss him ! ------------------------------ Facts about The Netherland: You got 12 provinces , right? At least I signed up for such a race Solan 109's 12 provincien racer I went to Amsterdam when I was about 9 with my parents and went on a sightseeingboat. I bought a dutch Donald Duck magazine.
