Traditions, & another party!
And this really does look like part of a windmill. In fact, it looks like all of a windmill! (Side view)
(Front view)
The inner workings! Notice all the wooden pegs used as gear teeth! That's not "softwood"! No cedar or pine here!
The mill stones. There are three in the picture. One on its side laying flat, and two vertical ones that roll along it.
This looks like a blacksmith's workshop. Is it part of the windmill?
And here's some more inner workings! The reverse-auction wholesale flower market.
As the arrow rotates slowly, indicating a continuously lowering price, the first buyer to press his button is considered the buyer.
Party time! Probably Oma Krom's 70th Bbirthday. ...hello cousins! And Marion, and Mom and Dad...
Same table, looking the other direction!
Same table, closer to the end.
Disciplinary action, and it almost wipes out the waiter!
Enjoying the calm by the windows.
Relaxing now.
Oma Huysmans (who is deaf) is having a written conversation with her sister, the sister, who is also deaf... Apparently, it runs in the family.
Oma: "I thought you said Pythagoras's second theorum was unprovable! She just worked it out in a few minutes!"
The reward for paying attention to the advanced math lesson? Dinner, away at the convent!
