June 5 – 7 Another Brother, Another Stay, Another Day

preparing asparagusSpent the past three nights with Han’s eldest brother Wim and his wife Marlies in Montfort. Their little country village is quite attractive and peaceful. The neighborhood is very quiet, which made it perfect for getting a great night’s sleep.
Marlies and I took a walk to the grocery store to purchase the daily sweet treat to go along with coffee and it turned out to be a much longer walk than expected because Marlies wanted to show me the castle that was being renovated, then we walked through the countryside. I was a bit tired and sweaty by the time we arrived back to their home, but it was well worth the walk.
We drove into town for Han to see a doctor and received some medicine to decrease the inflammation in his knee and it  seems to be working well. Very thankful but he still needs an MRI.
The three of us went to the Roermond outlet mall, which I found not to be an outlet, but quite pricey. I did not purchase anything.
Plane loads of Japanese and Chinese fly in nearby Düsseldorf, Germany, fly in on round trip shopping flights. It is apparently much less expensive for them to do this when buying a Louis Vuitton. I find it incredible, as I would never fly somewhere just to shop.
We had a delicious family dinner, daughter Kirsten and her sweet family came over and we visited while a massive rain storm raged outside.
Since arriving and until now, I have become more thankful for Han and the person he is. Yep, I have the best of the best, the cream of the crop. Not bragging, as I did not raise him, but surely in debt to his parents for my amazing husband.
