Paleis Het Loo

Periodic Pearls | Margaret Evans Porter's Blog (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009

Another two-country day. We hired a car to drive from Antwerp, Belgium to Apeldoorn, Netherlands, so I could tour Paleis Het Loo and its gardens, created by King William and Queen Mary. A couple of scenes in my novel take place there.It was a pleasant drive to the Gelderland and the forest areas where William enjoyed hunting--he purchased Het Loo for that very purpose, and and and Mary soon

Time Out

Mazurland Blog (Free subscription) | 06/15/2009

I'm a whistler. I know it can be an annoying habit. But I'm (hopefully) self-conscious enough about it. I don't do it in the office I share with two others. I don't do it when I'm out with people. I'll...

Technical Difficulties

Annsnewfriend's Weblog (Free subscription) | 11/23/2008

The internet has become an immensely valuable resource for me because I’ve never studied violin with a teacher. When I was a kid, I studied piano. My lessons were like those of many people. I learned a lot of basics, but never became really a “musician.” Ironically, my teacher was a violinist by profession. But I [...]

Beautiful Jazz & Toots

Annsnewfriend's Weblog (Free subscription) | 11/22/2008
