We had a nice visit with Albert and his friend Wilga this weekend. The evening was also a bit of a late birthday celebration for Rob. Albert gave him some really nice beer along with his customary “Uitgeester Kruidenbitter”. Wilga brought some very beautiful peonies — the most beautiful fuschia colour I’ve ever seen. Albert and I had a lot of fun making Beer Can Chicken, and afterwards we were finally able to celebrate Rob’s birthday with a strawberry cheesecake. We topped off the night with a nice fire outside.
