Lunch and Tante Grietje and family
Went to visit my dads oldest sister today. Amazing how much she looked like my Oma. She sat the same way and the same body language as my Oma. To see the familial traits is amazing. To see that I do have family and I am part of. It was so neat to meet my cousins again. Jan couldn't find Telkwa on a map. He now knows where we live. My tante Grietje is 86 years old. Absolutely amazing. She still lives on her own with her son right across the street. We also went out for lunch with my cousin Anja who is the daughter of Ome Ynze.

Holy moley! He looks just like Opa! Even has the same glasses and sweater.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture of the mine shaft I actually said out loud: "is that a horse?!" I guess they didn't have the same kind of machinery back then. Was that the mine that Opa would tell horror stories about?
Nice that you get to visit so many different families!! Love you lots!
