Home Sweet Home, since I returned from a trip to the Philippines yesterday, to pick up my girlfriend for a five week stay here in the Netherlands. And of course the food differences and weather conditions are complicating things somewhat: once there, my appetite was far less because of the heat and the difference in dishes, and now here she restricts her diet because she sticks to what is familiar for her...
But at least my family made her feel right at home last night. My eldest daughter picked us up from the airport, and after dinner all kids and grandkids arrived for a "family evening", which was very chaotic but also very nice.
This morning we planned the outings for the weeks she is here, and also we inventoried her financial situation, so we have a most likely scenario of how life will develop. Of course that does not mean we aren't dreaming of far bigger and better things, but we go through these things as they become possibilities, and as Elon Musk has said: "Success is one of the Possible Outcomes".
