Treia

 Hello - I told you how beautiful the house is - now here you can see for yourself.

the pool is gently heated - Alex was first in.  We are up on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley with Treia in the distance.



surrounded by an Olive orchard

these yellow bushes are lovely but they are making us all sneeze ... 

the wedding pictures are going to be amazing - from every angle!

Now the festivities are over and we have the week to just chill out, explore and enjoy the beauty all around us.

Today (Wednesday) we will go to a winery and Thursday we will head to the beach on the Adriatic Sea (eastern coast of Italy).

So very blessed!

Sheri & Carsten

Getting there.... and itinerary

Image
Good morning from Amsterdam!! Travel is so fun and romantic (cue sappy music).... Not! Leaving Houston was fine and the flight was smooth to Istanbul. We both managed to sleep a bit on the overnight flight (thank you Ambien). Our connection to Amsterdam was a bit late leaving but no problem, or so we thought.... We get to Amsterdam late and it seems as though everyone is experiencing their first day on the job.  I was watching the person driving the jetway - they had no idea where the door was to the plane might be. That took a hot minute. Finally off the plane and walking 1,000 steps to immigration only to be turned around and led back almost to where we started - very odd.

Christmas Greetings

Hello dear family and friends! Carsten and I send the very best greetings to you and all those you treasure. We are thankful for the community we have been blessed with, both near and far. 2025 was a hard year for us. We had no idea back in January what the new year would bring. Life is always full of ups and downs but my mom's rapid health decline and death just floored us. A loss like this reminds you of how precious life is and how important it is to be thankful for every moment we are given. We are navigating the holidays like a soldier thru a minefield - no idea when grief will knock us down again. It is hard to write but, besides Mom's death, we are all doing well.  Austin and Jamie moved back to Houston after 18 months in Detroit. They bought a house about 1.5 miles from Marieke and Alex.
