Family From The Netherlands



In this picture: Jon, Mercedes, Thierry, Vanessa, Hahn, Edit and my Dad.

A couple of weeks ago my cousins, Hahn and Edit, came to visit from Holland. Even though there is an apparent age difference, they are in fact my cousins; my Father's niece and nephew...even though my Dad and Edit were more like brother and sister growing up in Amsterdam. They came down to visit Los Angeles, San Diego, Zions, Grand Canyon and San Francisco. We were fortunate to spend an evening with them. While in Los Angeles they visited Venice (I don't imagine it being too different from Amsterdam...both those places smell like incense and pot) and they bought a surfboard clock...a total California souvenir...kind of like when we would go to Amsterdam and come home with wooden shoe key chains, magnets or even actual wooden shoes.

Hey Jacks...to attach the Prop 8 sign go to protectmarriage.com and click on the "take action" tab. Scroll down to "Prop 8 Downloads" and the copy and paste the graphic onto your desktop. Then customize your blog by adding the Prop. 8 Graphic as an image and at that point, it gives you an option to add an "http" so if you type in www.protectmarriage.com then once you save, your image will take you to that website once clicked on. Call me if this doesn't make sense :)
