I thought I'd post some random pictures today. Hope you like them.<br />
<br />
This house is wonderful and hidden back off the street and abandoned...can you imagine? I took some pics of it one early evening and after reviewing them, I thought I saw something odd in one of them. I won't say what it is...you tell me if you see anything weird...lol. Here it is:<br />

But before I do, I'll catch you up on some of my news. Three weeks after I got here, Marc had a stroke! Can you imagine?! Suddenly, besides being worried to death about him, I had to drive amongst these insane drivers here, find my way to the hospital and market and take care of things at home...not the easiest of things to do when you don't speak the language or understand the road signs! LOL...<br />
<br />
But..... he was out of the hospital after a week, and then on very heavy medication. His new nickname of "Stoney" was well deserved...lol OMG, it truly was like being with someone who was stoned 24/7. It wasn't until just a few days ago he came out of the stoned state and is back to normal...whew!! He's been able to drive (he's not supposed to for six months...argh) and does fine, so that's fine with me. <br />
<br />
Ok, now back to today....we decided to go to a museum and do a little window shopping downtown, and I wanted to share the pictures with you. Here's a pic of Gent this afternoon...cool and rainy.<br />

Look at the window of this candy store...I've never seen anything like this before. Every time I see it, it's just amazing but I never have my camera with me. Today, I actually remembered to bring it (duh!)<br />

On to the museum which was housed in the first hospital in Gent...positively medieval. This part of the museum was Victorian to the 70s. I found only one sampler in this section (1877) but...there is an older part of the museum which will open in October and I am hoping they have some awesome needlework. Nevertheless, I found lots of good stuff and took a few pictures.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There is NO way we can get it up the stairs, so Plan B is somehow getting it up to the second floor outside from the back garden. This means shoving it up a ladder with ropes (I think..lol) and having someone on the second floor roof...a couple "someones" I think, who will then grab it and hoist it through a HUGE window that goes into the studio. That's the plan anyway.... If there's any way, I'll try to take pictures of this.....it ought to be interesting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and I managed to get myself in trouble there, as well... So typical for me...lol. Apparently I got "TOO CLOSE!" to one of the paintings and a little twerp who worked for the museum freaked out and came over and lectured me in Dutch. When he finished his big warning, I told him I didn't understand a word he said. I DID get a little satisfaction out of that! LOL.. Actually, all I had done was point at something in a painting, but apparently he thought my finger was a combo finger/switchblade or something.........sigh..... lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well...just about everything. Still have ONE day to make jewelry... :-/ But what a relief to get it all OUT OF THE HOUSE and on its way. Can't wait for this weekend...see old friends, make new ones..and get a little different scenery</span>!Anne Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15507898602304559713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294908543361594524.post-9407532791552352462010-02-10T15:11:00.003-05:002010-02-10T15:12:08.191-05:00This says it all......<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1SZvBFYfVr0LyUc92I1QIRlgfulLR_pkx1sMd-jWfCCVByE3faR-xU5RmA4kHMsEr0NsUZpObkbsQhMoZ1uzhwqw6cdLH3mbI9LrWy16ptNMxEc6PNAfsm9UJIHhTHryv2_udvBA6zKo/s1600-h/IMG_3129rz.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1SZvBFYfVr0LyUc92I1QIRlgfulLR_pkx1sMd-jWfCCVByE3faR-xU5RmA4kHMsEr0NsUZpObkbsQhMoZ1uzhwqw6cdLH3mbI9LrWy16ptNMxEc6PNAfsm9UJIHhTHryv2_udvBA6zKo/s320/IMG_3129rz.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436710130098117378" border="0" /></a>Anne Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15507898602304559713noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294908543361594524.post-52633067033924885652010-02-08T23:04:00.000-05:002010-02-08T23:06:01.905-05:00Late Monday night....Feb 8??<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4GxKcidS4pFefA2y01Nv8VgPVSmh0lRV9CvjcO9HqjGTICIsFjoeDc_TqiC9OlFELFNoBAof2Unx-fGGAbw8YF875sldJ89letMqAYmq6rgIMnyn77ZKz3LTwtIcGw2t1KA8Epblhv8/s1600-h/book+blog+pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4GxKcidS4pFefA2y01Nv8VgPVSmh0lRV9CvjcO9HqjGTICIsFjoeDc_TqiC9OlFELFNoBAof2Unx-fGGAbw8YF875sldJ89letMqAYmq6rgIMnyn77ZKz3LTwtIcGw2t1KA8Epblhv8/s320/book+blog+pic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436089947922950498" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I thought I'd post a picture of my new book as a way to start off my blog.
