Today we traveled to Amsterdam and soaked up so much of the culture! From beautiful flowers and vibrant music to incredible food, it was an unforgettable experience 🌷🎶

We tried some traditional Dutch waffles and pancakes (absolutely delicious!) and even enjoyed a Heineken 🍻 The residents were so welcoming and truly had a ball exploring everything the city has to offer!

What a day to remember ✨

Yesterday we celebrated a truly wonderful lady on her 90th birthday 🎉💐

A lifetime filled with love, wisdom, and beautiful memories — and still shining as brightly as ever. It was such a special day surrounded by family, laughter, and so much joy.

Here’s to 90 incredible years and many more moments to cherish ❤️🥂

Unfortunately Dexter has a sore paw so he couldn’t make it today, but we had a lovely surprise visit from Misty, a beautiful whippet puppy 🐾 She was so well behaved and an absolute joy to have around 💕 We enjoyed some lovely walks in the sunshine too ☀️
