Hello my FEMALE friends!
Yes, I’m almost sure you are all female… do you think men
would write a post like this one, about hair and hairdressers?
And do you think other men would comment on that with their
own experiences as much as you all did? Ha, I don’t think so!
So goodmorning, my straight and curly haired female friends,
I’m glad you stopped by again! (And if you happen to be a male visitor,
you’re very welcome too! No talking about hair today, so come on in!)
What DO I talk about then?
Well, for instance, the meeting I had yesterday.

I want to thank you all for the support you gave after my “dentist disaster”
(see former post) I’m used to dentists and pain and tooth problems (I have
periodontitis) but last Thursday really was a scary experience.
I’m doing well now though and have one tooth less to brush.
Yes, I count my blessings! After all, my word for this year is “Smile” –
and that’s what I’m doing. Smile and look on the bright side!
What is bright right now?
Well, to start with – the weather is!
Today will be a hot day, but after tomorrow – when we first have some rain – the weather will be absolutely fantastic! (so they say…)
More brightness?
A long time ago, my mom gave me a crocheted skirt.
I call it my “witch skirt” – but some years ago my shoe heel got stuck
in the skirt and I tore it…
Because I didn’t have a crochet hook back then, I put the skirt in a drawer
and totally forgot about it… I rediscovered it last weekend!
AND… I do have crochet hooks now! I repaired the skirt, washed it
and now it feels like having a brand new fashion item FOR FREE!!!
(And now you’re all curious to see it? I will take some pics soon when I’m
in a witchy mood…!)
Brightness:
I watch the “Tour de France” (it’s a 3 weeks long bicycle race) on TV and
the racers arrived in the Pyrenees (high mountains between France and Spain)
The next few days will be exciting to watch them climb, and since the numbers
one and two are close to each other in “points” (seconds) I will be stuck to the
TV to see who will win on Sunday!
And of course… some creative brightness!

YEEEEAAAAHHHH!
You found my blog on the new address!!!
It looks very professional to have my own “maritscrapworld” domain,
don’t you think? I’m a lucky girl to have a lover who put it all together for me!
(Thanks a lot dear – also, on forehand, thanks for all the technical community-
site-web-stuff that you installed and will have to explain to me in the near
future and all the support you are giving… I love you!)
Next, I do want to apologize neglecting all of you in the past week…
I did had my reasons, you know that, but now that things are settling down
I promise I will catch up with all your blogs in the coming week.
There’s another reason I wasn’t around much…
I spend two days with my parents in Zeeland!
It’s a two hour drive, and to you who think Holland is a beautiful country:
let me show you something else for a change…
This is a photo
I took on the way
to Zeeland.
All the way from
my place to
my parents,
I see this….
Two hours,
this panorama =
BOOOOORING!
(but being there
is worth the drive!)
On to an image less boring now (I hope)
