Here I am, my first travelog.
After hanging around next to Tule Dracule, protecting all the postcards my mom received from postcrossing, my mom decided I should have another task: welcome new tv's.

Here I am with Tule, meeting Veronica

I showed her the fishtank. Tule was kept away, he loves meat!

After that, we went for a walk together with the dogs, Veronica, Thea the Sheep and Henk the Cow.

We had a little rest-stop.

This is a bike-route

It's very warm today! But nice weather to walk!

Oh no! Another tv arrived! And a very nice one, I love her!!!
Her name is Umechan and she's from Japan.
Look how cute she is!
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00897-20110818-1725.jpg

She brought a little gift, I put it around my neck. Isn't that nice?

If I was Paris Hilton, Umechan would be my BFF!

Shoot! Bad weather in Holland. What else is new this summer?
Bad showers, thunders and lots of wind.
No flying on my broomstick today! What a shame...

I write this travelog for Henk the Cow. He is not well, let me tell you why.

Crying and in shock state of mind, Henk the Cow went to his host and showed her his back.
Oh my!!!! His tail almost fell off!!!
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00952-20110820-2030.jpg

He was very upset when his host told him that she needed to give him a little surgery. He freaked out!
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00953-20110820-2036.jpg

We all gave him something relaxing to drink.
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00954-20110820-2042.jpg

And some more...
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00955-20110820-2043.jpg

And more... (Umechan couldn't watch anymore)
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00956-20110820-2046.jpg

What Henk the Cow didn't know, was that he drank Vodka.
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00957-20110820-2047.jpg
He was out!

Our host took a needle...
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00959-20110820-2050.jpg
And a blue tread (his favorite color)
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00960-20110820-2051.jpg
And she fixed his tail. Poor thing was moaning, dispite his level of alcohol.
We decided not to include the pictures, they are very graphic...

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00963-20110820-2102.jpg
After surgery, Henk the Cow got a nice bed and we all prayed and wished he would get better soon, each of us in his own way.

Get well, Henk the Cow!

Mom's favorite beer: Chateau Neubourg!
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/Hosting/augustus%202011/IMG00938-20110820-1625.jpg
Sssst, I tasted some, but beer is just not my "cup of tea"!

Today our host took us to work. She carries us in a specially made bag, so we won't damage ourselves.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG00987-20110827-0939.jpg
Here we are, waiting for the bag.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG00988-20110827-0940.jpg
And here we go!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG00989-20110827-0940.jpg
As always, the ladies are last in line!!!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG00970-20110824-1224.jpg
Here we are at her work. She is a guide to mentally challenged adults. She does crafts with the group and they sell their made stuff in the little store, what is placed here too.
She told the people about ToyVoyagers and they all thought I looked very good!
Well... duh!

Today mom took us to her work.
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01071-20110919-1227.jpg
She wanted to show us something.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01072-20110919-1228.jpg
An envelope? A new TV!!!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01073-20110919-1229.jpg
First a card came out.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01074-20110919-1230.jpg
Then a tiny little furry animal.

Dikkie Dik saw it was a pussycat.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01076-20110919-1231.jpg
They are now big friends!

We all went to work!
After sitting in her bag, we got out and went for a walk together.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01193-20111028-1254.jpg
Nice colored fabrics! They (mentally challenged cliënts) make beautiful stuff!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01194-20111028-1254.jpg
Using this machine. It's not on... pfew!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01195-20111028-1255.jpg
A cliënt is knitting with these huge needles!!! But it looks amazing!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01196-20111028-1255.jpg
A big box of wool. The nice colors are gone... time to shop!!!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01197-20111028-1256.jpg
A prototype x-mas tree. Great! Can't wait to see the finish-product.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01198-20111028-1257.jpg
This is beautiful too! The cliënts made these too, also for x-mas. Maybe these should be painted, what do you think?

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01199-20111028-1258.jpg
It's almost Halloween. Cliënts had a small job to do for the children in the neighbourhood: add candles in these paper lights.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01200-20111028-1259.jpg
Look, a buddha, but it's a candle. Yes, cliënts made this too!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01201-20111028-1300.jpg
A halloween table in the shop. The sun was shining so bright!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01202-20111028-1300.jpg
A box with decoration-apples, big and small.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/oktober%202011/IMG01203-20111028-1301.jpg
And when a customer wants something to be gift-wrapped, these ribbons make a gift a bit nicer. There are more ribbons, but they are tucked away.

More to follow soon!
