One day they just showed up. Brother John suggested that they migrated there, “just like those rocks in Arizona.” Faster, for sure.
The dog did not care.

Pinball Wizard Lives in Lichtervelde

Chez Madou was a respite and a calm retreat after our Amsterdam extravaganza. Ahhh. No rum thing this time…which probably would have killed us anyway.
Sitting by the wood stove as Spring unfolds behind us. Talking and laughing and just being together.
There is pinball.
Views from the guestroom.
Did we mention pinball?
We can’t wait to return and walk again with the dogs.
