Engelse Werk Park

Through the drizzle to the train station and off to Zwolle I went. To a park that literally translates to ‘English Work’. While it sounds like a very industrial name, it’s quite the opposite. Nature tralis, water spots and many cool trees are among the things you can find at this park and it’s biggerContinue reading “Engelse Werk Park”

Portraits

While I’m never going to become a professional anything… I do like having a go at the things that professionals do and then with my own twist. Deafblind people can… I just have to take a different path to get to the same destination. Dogs are more oblivious to what’s happening when you take theirContinue reading “Portraits”

June 24th – Trains and Castles

I was surpised to feel quite good as I woke up on Wednesday morning. I don’t usually sleep well on a flat bed. My adjustable bed at home has been my friend for many years and acommodates the hyper mobile joints very well. So to wake up feeling refreshed after sleeping on a box spring,Continue reading “June 24th – Trains and Castles”

2026 Greek Vacation

Once upon a time a family member asked ‘If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go’. I think their intention was to find a way to arrange something fun for us to do but, I couldn’t answer the question. I’d gotten so used to my illness and disabilities limiting me, that IContinue reading “2026 Greek Vacation”

Cutest Dog on the Internet – In My Professional Opinion

One of the things I’ve been looking forward to the most since I was gifted my DSLR, is a doggy photo shoot.

I almost feel like he knew exactly what the backpackContinue reading “Cutest Dog on the Internet – In My Professional Opinion”

King’s Day Flevotrucker’s Tour

I think the truck tour is one of my favorite parts of King’s day. Usually each driver plays chauffeur to a child – many of which have a disability. As they ride in the passenger seat, the trucks get in line and start their tour of the village. Honking their horns as they go. IContinue reading “King’s Day Flevotrucker’s Tour”

Instead of falling into deep sleep, my brain dragged me into another dream where it mixed a tinyContinue reading “Deafinitely Not What I Expected: The Blog My Brain Wrote While I Slept”

Chapter 5: Wellington House

I marveled at the intricate patterns on the gates as we approached Wellington House. The sun had began to sink into the clouds and its orange glow made the gates twinkle. Alan stepped out of the car to ring a bell located to the right of the gates. Another man who looked similar to Alan,Continue reading “Chapter 5: Wellington House”
