Wendy already missed the umbrella in the checklist and now you mention the shoes :( I see I have to be more careful next time.<br />@Postcardy<br />Indeed there is something wrong with one of the beach pictures. I'll do some repairs later on. Thanks for drawing my attention to this. And I think you are right about the silk.<br />@Kristin<br />Thank you!<br />@Liz<br />I feel honored to have added a first to the history of SS :)<br />@Bob<br />I believe I told you earlier I also visited Shell in The Hague. As a matter of fact I still do, but their price per liter goes up and up :)<br />@Pat<br />Like you I prefer using my own family pictures and stories but sometimes you have to be flexible. When we still had our bar we seemed to drink more hard liqueur than we do today. Now the focus is more on wine. <br />@Jana<br />I am not surprised you don't like frozen rivers. There is too much Brazilean blood in your veins ;) <br />@Kathy<br />Please see my remarks to Kathy M and Liz :)<br />@Kat<br />Not knowing how Helen Mirren looked like I googled her and you are right, there is a certain resemblance. And who says I don't want to be chastised?<br />@Prenter<br />We also had a few, at a time ;)<br />@Rosie<br />So you have been on one of those "it is Tuesday so this must be Amsterdam-tours"? Sorry it rained!<br />@Nancy<br />Thank you twice! And Nancy already pointed out I also missed the seize 11 shoes...<br />@Karen<br />Thanks for your kind words! The children are now 45 and 42... Time flies. Looking at our relatives and friends, I don't think there are any domestic bars around. In my memory it was also a thing of the 60s/70s.<br />@Helen<br />Not knowing what dolman sleeves are, I looked it up. The translation I found comes down to 'bat sleeves'. Is that what it is?<br />@Titania<br />Glad to have been of service ;)<br /><br />I appreciated all your visits.

But my relatives in Germany always had a small bar inside their houses! A very common thing! You sure made quite an interesting post after all!

I do not adhere that closely and as I shared, I like to use photos from my own stash too. Funny you mention a bar, hubby would like to put one in our rec room, but we do not entertain like we used to in CA and for 2 of us where it is primarily beer (his choice) and wine (mine) it seems an avoidable expense.
