Weekend reflections.


Today I am entering 4 memes so I had to find a photo in my files that would fit them all and I did.
Here a photo of a square in old Amsterdam called Nieuwmarkt.

What a wonderful street scene!
It reminds me of when I was a little girl and went shopping on Saturday morning - the streets were full. Sadly, I don't see this much anymore.

Amsterdam,heeft een speciaal plekje in mijn hart! Ik ben er geboren en al mijn voorouders voor mij. Terug tot 1700.
Geef mij maar Amsterdam! Nou het is niet meer wat het ooit was.

Heel fijn weekend, liefs Juliƫtte

I love your busy street scene and reflections for the day! It looks warm and summery and I would love to be sitting right there in one of the sidewalk cafes!! The next best thing to doing that is being able to enjoy your wonderful photos for the day, Riet! Have a beautiful weekend!

Prachtige foto I ben vaak in Amsterdam geweest en het is zo leuk al die terrasjes te zien. Ik heb heel wat urrtjes op terrasjes doorgebracht toen ik jong was

We so loved the bicycle filled streets in Holland, Riet. I hope you saw my posts of winter in Holland about a week ago. My cousin sent the pics.

I hope you will pop by to help us bring 'angel love' for a young girl who is sick.

Thank you.
Have a beautiful PS weekend ~

I've been to Amsterdam only twice, but both times were enjoyable. As I look at your photo of the ancient, tree-lined streets, the joy comes back to me!

I have had the pleasure of visiting Amsterdam twice (I live in Scotland) and I loved the city with the bicycles and layout of the city.

Love this Riet. We are going on a river Cruise this Dec. to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Do you live near Amsterdam? We go from there down the Rhine. It is a Christmas cruise and we return home on Christmas Eve. We are thrilled and our reservations are already made. Grand Circle is the cruise line.

Happy PS.
Hugs, Jeanne

We lived near Hasselt, Belgium for 3 years and enjoyed the times we visited Amsterdam. Loved the fluffy pancakes with cherries on top! The buildings are a perfect addition to Pink Saturday.
