Her only regret is that she has to forgo Art class in school for more music classes. She is also very good in the visual arts. Oh to be so talented. I dabbled in guitar, my husband is quite good.

I also sing in a choir, though it's a senior choir, but all the same it's fun and the members are very kind.<br />Thanks for your visit. The ship was "De Johan van Oldebarneveldt", which sailed under Dutch colours from 1930-1963, then it was bought by Greece and renamed.<br />I didn't embroider the bell rope. I never embroider or knit.

Looking back, they lived their whole life in Indonesia till 40 -a simple 3rd world country life. they were forced to move, or adhere to Islam.
