De Dijk in Uden

Friday, 22-October-2010 - Uden - Marij and I got tickets at the last minute. The Dutch pop group De Dijk performed last night in de Pul in Uden--what a great concert! We saw our picture on the front page of the Uden-Veghel edition of the Brabants Dagblad this morning.

Jan 50

Sunday, 3-October-2010 - Uden - Got home in time to shower and get ready for afternoon skating with Jan. Fun-on-Wheels skating buddy Jan Verhoeven celebrated his 50th birthday today. Rosan dropped me off at Camping Slabroek. Thirty skaters were good for 30 km. When we got back, the Maffidjoosi pizza oven was going and Jan's Top 50 was counting down. We had a great party. It was just a super day!

Fun-on-Wheels in Best

Sunday, 3-October-2010 - Best - Got up at 0600 to go skating in the morning with Fun-on-Wheels in Best. It had rained a lot yesterday, but a warm sunny day was forecasted for today. Mark brought along his backpack boombox. It was a little slippery, but we took it easy. Stopped along the way to admire this magnificient mushroom. Eleven skaters were good for 33.5 km.

Pastoor Ruimt Op--Parish Yard Sale

Sunday, 26-September-2010 - Veghel - Marij volunteered for the Sint Lambertus Parish Yard Sale, and I came along to help--got my face painted along the way. Saw a lot of familiar faces. We had a good time, for a good cause: the church needs a new roof.

I (Don't) Skate Amsterdam

Friday, 17-September-2010 - Zijtaart - I strained my back lifting an (empty) wheelbaro last Wednesday morning. Even though I was getting better each day, I had to forget about skating this weekend in Amsterdam with the other Fun-on-Wheels skaters. The least I could do was to wave as the rest headed out from today's meeting point, Inge and Bart's home in Zijaart. After some apple pie and last minute instructions from Ine and Inge, they were on their way.

Slabroek Skating

Monday, 13-September-2010 - Uden - It was a nice day, and it was going to rain the rest of the week so I took off from work early. I wanted to test my old skates to see if they would be better to wear for our upcoming Fun-on-Wheels skate weekend in Amsterdam. At the edge of the bike path I saw these magnificient mushrooms.
