Senior outing

We went on a senior couples outing.  We toured the Rotterdam harbour on a Spido boat. This was one of the ships.  They make the windmills that are out in the sea.

The red boat had the drilling rigs on it. The orange boat had the poles for the windmills.

We all climbed to the top of the windmill.  President Bunnell even touched the thatched roof on the very top.

We had a great day.

After, we went to the mission home and had dinner. Hutspot with meatballs and rookworst, homemade bread and honey butter, green salad and dressing, and apple crumble pie with slagroom and fla for dessert.

Very delicious.  We all ate too much.

Zoetermeer storage

We have been closing down apartments and storing the stuff in the old Zoetermeer church where they used to meet before the new church was built. It is an office building in the middle of Zoetermeer.

We have been piling up boxes not really knowing whats inside.

We have bed frames and dryers and washers.

Lots of bedding

This was out into the hall

Hoorn Apt.

Elders Cook and Andrew loaded up the van with lots of stuff from the Hoorn Apt.

After cleaning all day, a picture by the sea.

We still have a few things left to get out of the apartment.

This will be fun because it is on the second floor and we have to go across a skinny slippery porch and down a flight of stairs. The apartment is in the middle of town and there is no where to park but a back alley.  Hopefully we can park there. All these boxes have materials that need to go back to the office and put back in inventory.
