I am annoyed I just wrote a post and then lost it. I know. I need to save often and always.
So I start again, but am not as cheerful as I was 15 minutes ago.
For those of you who follow the World Cup, here's some small talk information for you. (I just saved. Need to develop that habit.)
The Dutch Queen -- Maxima -- is from Argentina. Wonder how that will play at the Palace when The Netherlands plays Argentina? am betting the Dutch press will have some fun with that, all in good humor I hope.
Some of you may also be wondering, why all the orange with the Dutch people and players. Why did my father ask me to knit him a long orange scarf many years ago. Well, the official name of the Royal Family is the House of Orange. Okay, super accurate would be Oranje-Nassau. (You Long Islanders, yes that where Nassau County got their name. It's Dutch.)
Here's a photo of the royal family at a sporting event. Note the color. (I saved again.)
I am more excited that I found this photo and was able to get it on this post with out the coaching of my Blog coach Rebecca.
