Tante Oeke

My aunt Oeke was really the best with her heart as pure as gold.
To me she was just so genuine and spontaneous so in my eyes she would never grow old.
So intelligent to me, she, with the same amount of beauty in her heart.

Sarkozy door Martin Bril

Iedere dag lees ik de webpagina van Martin Bril (met dank aan John wederom want ik vond deze link weer bij hem) en gisteren schreef deze over onze President Sarkozy.
Ik ben blij dat te lezen dat Sarkozy toch niet overal slecht over komt. In onze tijd is hij een moderne man, die gaat scheiden, die gaat trouwen, [...]
